    Well done to rosepink today:beer::beer::beer::beer: but will you please slow down a bit as you are putting me to shame! xx
    Ok, how about if I don't do anything today, would that help? :rotfl:

    DH only had work for this morning so he's come home now and is going to do all the bits in the village that I'd planned to do.

    WEDNESDAY - DH'S list:
    Print out letter for insurers and gather all docs together
    Repeat prescription, library (find missing books and photocopy DH’s driving licence), post office (post docs to insurers and buy car tax for the truck, post letters to France and Australia), chemist (shaving foam and Gavisgon)

So i'm back to flying to get this pig pen sorted for christmas and of course for ever ;-) As we are having the whole family here for christmas this year! Gulp!! Total of 10. Will be fun. So i'm up for the flying today. Is there a session starting at 2pm? If so i'm in :-)

    You are right, am a bit dehydrated after sleeping for so long. I can't believe I slept for 11 hours! I was tired last night but didn't realise how tired. Going for a drink of water and then a walk up and down to wake me up a bit

    Am starting to get stressed that I don't have a christmas plan...

    "QUICK Question - My 6 year old came home with a letter from school yesterday asking for parents permission for them to handle a sparkler tomorrow.... am I being overprotective to think this is a ridiculous idea??? They have said that they will be taking groups of 3 out at a time, but I still think its a bad idea...."

    Give the child a sparkler! Send gloves in, to protect the hands. Teachers will be mega-careful, and at 11, children wield their own Bunsen Burner in a class of 29 others.
