    :hello: Hi everyone, couldn't go without saying bye......

    Finished the work on the old house today, now all emptied, cleaned out and keys gone :j:j I finally only have one house to worry about, coursework all finished and sent. Packed this evening and we fly out to Spain at 8am :j:jwhich means airport by 5am ish so will be up at 4am :eek:

    Hope you all have a lovely week, kids first flight so I am a little....anxious..... I will see you all on the thread for the 5th with a need for a plan in unpacking all these boxes :D which can wait until I've been on holiday.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I was told it was available on our county council website BUT I couldn't find it there so I googled 'Scores on the doors'and then input the names of the particular establishments I visit. I got 1 five :eek:
    then click on the hyperlink for each establishment...
