Hi everyone, yes I'm still alive. Just.

I needed to take some time out to catch up on studying a bit so I could submit my assignment on time. DS1s also been pretty awful the hormonal urgh, DS2 wants to change schools to somewhere local so been doing a lot of visits then 4 meetings on top meant the week was manic. All done and sent in last night. Problem is now the house is a bomb site. There isn't 1 uncluttered area I've got a lot on this week with the planning meetings for London etc EEEEK yes it's the 22nd soon, but I've got a new suit so that is sorted. I've booked myself in to the hairdressers too as not been since before Christmas which will also help as we're at a wedding this week too.

Tomorrow will be no rest for the wicked, try to get some of the clutter shifted

Hope you are all ok, I can't even try to catch up on how much I have missed, big hugs to you all x x x x x

had dinner, dh washed up, we put the clean sheets on the bed and hung up the next load of washing. Tonight we've watched a blast from the past 'The Towering Inferno' which DH got from lovefilm! I'm now ready for bed (been in pjs since 7pm ) so should probably stop surfing the net and go and sleep!

Craftyscholar Well done.:jwas it easy to fit as at least five of our's won't open and i have 2 replacement bought but i'm not sure weather to try it myself or not?

Yes, I only do 'easy' DIY :rotfl:
I checked in a DIY book before I attempted it.

The MOST important bit is to 'trip' the fuse for the lights before you touch anything.

Oh and well done to you for all your furniture moving :T

For those that asked, Michelle is doing really well. Tris has a few problems but I guess that is to be expected.

In case you missed this yesterday this Youtube clip really shows how amazing the bond between animal and owner can be. It's a good song too.
