    I have a couple I don't need - let me know how many pages you need (roughly) and I'll see whether either of them will do for you!

    Had a lovely time in London. Need to pack my bag for the walk, get my stuff ready and then try to have a few hours sleep!

    Glad you had a great time.

    Thank you so much for your kind offer - I don't really mind how many pages, if it's small I'll just do the old shoots and a separate one for the more recent and if it's larger I'll do them all in one. I'm happy to pay for the postage ofcourse.

    Quillion - wow - go girl, you have done amazing

    I've started the family room sort out (next week's target room for me!) doing really well but need a list for next week:

    Dusty's Family Room List:

    Sort stationery drawer
    Sort box on desk
    Sort wood file box
    Sort basket on the floor
    Sort Nan's photos
    Finish sorting the metal box

    I can't beleive once I've achieved all that (and I will do it next week) then that will be another room done. Feeling really positive at the moment that the sorting of the house (not garage, side shed and loft - jobs for next year!) will be done by half term. That means after half term I can concentrate on decorating DS2 room - maybe able to start in half term - and Christmas (on that note I found 29 christmas cards brought in the sale in January plus I got a little something for my neice at the corner shop - Sorry Soappie x)

    have failed dismally this week! Shattered now after yet another leaving do (from my old work, seems like i started a trend!) 3 out of 4 london project staff have now gone, and one central office person this week. Ex boss was there, was delighted to tell him how well i;m doing, how happy i am and how valued i feel. I said, 'i presume people are asking questions now you've lost so many staff?'. he squirmed, a lot! I also said, 'i know you think i had an attitude problem...' which he denied...despite me knowing for a fact he said it to someone yesterday!!!
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Big hugs Zoe, we are all here if you want to talk. I hope your family and friends are being kind to you too

    Hugs Tooch, doing things in the ad breaks is a good idea, you will be amazed at what you can achieve, and it will make you feel better hopefully

    Quillion hugs for your cut finger, it really hurts doesn’t it!

    I've not done any flying today, but I've done loads of walking! I'm really stiff and achey now, going to have a nice warm bath later. We went in to Guildford this morning to look for people to chat with about the Bible, had a nice time actually. I met a nice girl who was selling the Big Issue, she told me a very sad story, not entirely sure that I believe it all as it culminated in her needing £50 - I was really torn between believing her but she kept wiping her eyes like she was crying but she wasn't :confused: It was sad tho, whether it's true or not she's obviously been through hard times. Hopefully we were able to give her some comfort.

    I've done nearly 7, 000 steps today which is a lot for me! Really pleased about that. And I'm very proud of myself as we went to Costa's and I didn't have cake! Or a creamy drink.

    This evening I'm planning on finishing sewing up the cushion cover I was making - I did loads of sewing on it yesterday and I have less than one seam to do. It's going to be a wedding present for our friends who got married in June so it's about time I gave it to them! :o

    ETA: Wow Quillion, you've lost loads of weight! Well done! You can really see in the pictures how much your shape has changed, WTG!

    have just decluttered 2 cricketers to the pub:beer::T!

    Have put their filthy kit ( it looked like they'd played rugby in it) into the WM..and now sat with large cup of tea.....

    This was the last league match of the season...next week DS will be working a Sat shift..and DH will be moping at home!

    Still he does cook a mean meal - time to remind him that he cooks at the weekend in the autumn.......:j

    go girl quillion WOW!!

    u've grown taller as you have lost weight!!!!!!!!

    re kids staying out

    whilst mine were younger they could play on the front on the pavement til i decided i wanted them in

    if they wanted to go elsewhere i needed to know when where who with what time everyone else had to be in checks with other parents etc depending where dropped off and picked up

    if for example to play football on the field - out of site - up to the age of 11 ish in by 7ish but allowed on the front ie within my sight

    son is now just 13 yr 9 school

    if so i need to know where he is etc and need him in before dark

    special permision if he is going somewhere swimming park etc and my alter time in

    he tends to just go to his friends

    i find an old payg mobile helps too..
