    Hi folks

    Spent a lovely day yesterday in London with my late mother's 2nd cousin one removed (so she informed me!!) a lovely lady, aged 72, suprised I never heard of her before, she filled in gaps in the family tree for me.

    Glad you had a lovely time

    I have decided(after someone else mentioned it on here??????) that I am going to pretend that we ARE moving into that other house and I am going to get rid of anything that I wouldn't want to come with us.....so the major cull should start tomorrow (AF allowing) but if not a major one then the mini version of one to get me started......

    That is such a good idea, when putting stuff back in a drawer earlier I did think if we were moving would I take all this stuff :o

    Happy Birthday Dora


    Managed to get the sorting done that I needed to but nothing else.

    Going to do the ironing with ski sunday in a minute and put another wash on as surely one of the maidens is ready to empty.

    erm where did the other mile go - or was it a circular route?
    Nope... I just work out routes round the village footpaths to give me the mileage I need, so it's all very wiggly!

    WTG gotnodosh :T:T ... well done for dealing with the situation so well. I hope that the situation will eventually resolve itself.

    Fire is going... trashy book being read. Think I might put the heating on though as it's a bit chilly tonight...
