We had snow and the drive to work was not fun! Only half the children made it in (5 in my class!) but they enjoyed being out in the snow even if I seem to have spent half the day drying socks, shoes and feet :rolleyes:

crafty - Happy Birthday!

stardrops - hugs; ear infections are horrid

valli - hope you're ok (and no, I'm not smirking, honest!!)

Sorry fellow flyer, I was AWOL this week. Just too busy to do anything. Flying will be resumed on Sunday when I finally have a bit of time to do some. The plan tonight is wrap some more presents then early night. The plan tomorrow is to take DD1 to gymnastics, buy rest of xmas cards and presents, then taking DD1 and my mum and my niece to see The Sound of Music, hopefully with Connie Fisher in it. :jDD1 is very excited. She used to go to nursery with her hair like one of the von Trapp girls every day when she was 4.

Anyway, hope everyone is all Ok, sorry I've not had chance to catch up with everyone....I've not had chance to do anything this week. Off to put the kiddiewinks to bed now so I hope you all have a lovely evening. xxx

Good evening all!

I'm so glad it's the holidays. The last two days really weren't good. My mock speaking test day yesterday ended with an awful experience and on the way to work today, a parent from school skidded on the icy road and bumped into my car - fortunately at very low speed and he has offered to pay for the repair, rather than going through the insurance company.

Flying will commence later tonight and I'll post my list later.

First another :coffee:, though, and I've got to think about tea.

Hello again everyone, hope all well. We moved last Friday and weren't supposed to be connected until Monday but my son tried it by accident and it works, we have the net hurray!:beer:
The move went really well and of course I left my house truly spotless before I left it Then that night Dh went to Mr A for milk for littlies and some eejit crashed into my car:mad: My insurance have been brill, sorted it all, have hire car at no cost, voucher to replace car seat and will have my car back in new year:T

Anyway I have been a very busy bee, have only 6 boxes left in the study to unpack and have begun to blitz my house. It was owned by a single man ---- say no more:rotfl:On the surface it looked pretty good but have been deep cleaning today and have realised that moving to a bigger house is lovely but will take me twice as long to fly, we now have 3 loos instead of one for example. I have never used a mop and bucket before as my old house was so small but now i am proud owner of a vileda super mop:rotfl:

Anyone have any tips for unblocking a shower tray plughole? Have fished out what i can and that was :eek:, put bleach down and some soda crystals but it is still flowing away a bit slowly.
Need to declutter some wine now and read back a bit xxxx Thrifty
