    anyhoo - in case I miss you have a fabby trip, safe travelling and all that...

    ***ducks because is CERTAIN mules must be flying***

    ooh is there some kind of 'burning' thing that is 'in fashion'? - I was watching fireworks and what can only be described as something on fire but definitely not a firework floated over and then went out after a while - just glowing and looked like it was on fire. This happened twice, I made DD look and I was sober BTW (hopes has pre-empted all questions)

    I would send you a postcard... but I've lost your address in the change of jobs :rolleyes:... I'll try to send you all nice piccies of the inside of the conference centre though, as I'm sure that's pretty much all I'll see...

    Right... can't pack till I get back tomorrow, as gym kit needs to go in first... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :D

    :hello:to all my flylady friends!!
    Flitting in and out. No internet yesterday, so miles behind. Dentist was not great. Will cost £250. I spent yesterday feeling like I'd been kicked in the face. And observed in school today, didn't go as well as I'd have wanted. Dead bodies of miscreants will be found in dark corners around the school.:cool:

    Have a great trip greenbee.

    Relevant flying? I've washed up, and am halfway through the bedroom list.:D

    greenbee - stop procrastinating!! The list sounds fine to me, just go and put it all in the case, you can always rearrange tomorrow once you have the gym kit.

    Right, I am going to bed, dusty - you may well be right, I haven't eaten well the last couple of days and have reintroduced wheat much more as I have to before my coeliac test. hmmm.
