Just posting list for tomorrow as have been to Eden hall spa today so have done very little! Oh i decluttered quite a lot of food and had a back massage. Also did an exercise class which was called Latino groove which was great fun, think I may have found my sort of exercise.
Have booked my train ticket for London course £132 return:eek: and I have to leave the house at about 6.30 am:eek: Hope i get a seat ont the train but I doubt it. Has anyone any idea how long it will take me to walk from Kings cross to Tottenham court road? Hate the Tube , it smells and is full of wierdos:rotfl:

30 minutes walk according to the journey planner of the website of Transport for London.

Justhad the doorbell ring. What a scare at 23:00what with DD being out and all! Opened it all trepidatious like (if there is such a word) to find it was an employee of Asda who had just finished work wanting to leave a birthday present for the bloke upstairs who is out. I was very glad to take it off her hands and put it on his doormat. But, your mind does go through several hoops whilst walking up that hallway...

Just thought i would do a quick list check. Although i haven't been posting i have been trying to do something every day. It helped that my sisters came round and watched the kids while i did the food shop, and also ran a hoover round for me while they were here.

A good bit of the week has also been trying to pack as we are away next Mon-Fri at centre parcs. One bag packed, and another to do tomorrow.

I am pleased i have got a bit further along, but i have come to a realisation that my boys are going to continue being muck magnets for a while yet. I'm back on page 8 in terms of reading, but i willl try and do a bit more skim reading. Hope you are all really well.

Froddy, my thoughts are with you. My son was a very special boy at a very special school, we found him dead in bed one morning when we went to get him ready for school. He was 11. School were extremely supportive as they were throughout his time there. We counted the people who worked with him as friends. They were fantastic as I'm sure you are with your pupils and families.

Oh Keggie, so very sorry to hear about your son. xxx


Frodders will be thinking of Joseph on wednesday hun. xxx

Valli what a shock, theiving gits :mad::mad::mad::mad: well done on spotting them. x
