    Decluttered my bank account of £220 to the dentists.:(

    Injection just about worn off, so going to have some lunch. I hate the dentists, so have spent the rest of the morning reading emails and doodling about on here.

    Love and hugs all round, and drying up vibes for any flyladies in Cumbria.

    Well done to your DS and DD you must be very proud
    Carol, thinking of you, hope the presentation goes well

    Just seen Wooton Bassett & the flood report, unsure what upset me the most, got to thank our lucky stars. My friend has the duty of bringing these boys home to Lyneham. Bah I'm sat here sobbing, how silly am I.

    Right ok HHC blurred into lunch and another HHC. Shipped out the suitcases (I fit 5 in one no idea how!), fish tank and 3 boxes of caravan & household bits I've sorted to the garage. You can now walk in the house without falling over :rotfl: so I am making progress. Unpacked 4 boxes so exceeded that bit of my list.

    Oh some great news, ok they haddn't let me know but....DS1 has a place Thursday mornings in a local primary to start his integration :D. The LSA going with him went in to work with him yesterday to get to know him. He should be starting next Thursday! Really pleased but also a little concerned over if he will like it.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Still no flying done. Cockerill still sat on fence, have been to friend's who keeps chickens and have scattered corn in the hope of enticing it down and hopefully get it in the anmal carrier. She thinks its coemfrom somewhere that breeds specialist chicks because of its markings. Cats still in and disgusted dog very excited by it.

    Now then where's my list, must try and get something done in between cockerill watch.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

    Mudbath - just wanted to say thanks, a very inspiring post. With everything that has happened to you lately it is lovely to see you are still so positive.

    Serena - huge hugs, I hate the dentists too and the cost just makes it worse.

    Greenbee - parcel has arrived safely, thank you very much. Just need to give some thought to where to put them now. I have those and some bare root roses to put in tomorrow so fingers crossed for clear weather.

    Just off to look for my list then back for a HHC at 13.45.
