    *question of topic sorry*
    Can hand laggage be a backpack? I figure if i don't bring a suitcase over with me i won't spend because i can't get it home. So all me and hubby needs is a change of clothes which should fit into a backpack.

    That;s what we do, so YES, as long as it's withing the size limits! DH is off to China on Saturday. He's allowed a laptop bag and a piece of hand luggage (ETA, and a man-bag if he wants - which he won't :p ), so he won;t need to check in any luggage for just a week :j

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Mum and Dad are having their boiler replaced next week and this is exactly what they have decided to do, put a radiator in the airing cupboard.

    You can just have a coil of heating pipes to do the same job:money:


    Morning all

    Ashia Happy Birthday, Enjoy!

    So far behind now that I don't know where to start.

    Have a dental check up late morning so I'm going to 'speed fly' for an hour starting at 10:00 and see what I can achieve. Kids all have different clubs after school tonight so nobody home until 4:15 which will give me a bit more time this afternoon.

    Morning everyone.

    Managed to sleep a lot better the last 2 nights. My ex neighbour came back last night to pick some stuff up and the rest is going tomorrow. Told her about the cat coming back but she is not bothered. Hope I get some decent neighbours in. Meeting DD at lunchtime to go shopping.

    Off to start a HHI if anyone wants to join.
