    Posting from page 67! We are up for a meet in York MOn,Tues,Wed or Thurs next week. I would drive and then use the park and ride (the one at Tesco's on the south side)

    I think most of the others are looking at a date in a few weeks time, but I could make next Tuesday/Wednesday. I could combine a trip to York with some of the other places I need to go to.

    Have spent the day relocating [STRIKE]hundreds[/STRIKE] thousands of photos to lovely new photo storage boxes (700 per box) and decluttering various mis-matched albums and photo envelopes/boxes/bags.

    That sounds interesting. Could you let me know where you got the boxes from, and if they were expensive? Thanks.

    In a foul mood. AF due.

    Overwhelmed by how many maintenance jobs we've got to do on the house. Don't like either of today's two sample paints - many more and it will be decorated in a patchwork affect.

    Kids sent to bed, DS1 has broken the window in the playhouse (at 16 you'd think he was past these things) and is in a foul mood because I have removed his laptop and told him he can't watch the golf on the tv.

    Going to make our bed and go and read the paper in it with a cuppa I think. Poor DH has just finished painting the ceiling in the cloakroom.

    Evening all,

    I'm glad all the meets have gone well. I'm slightly jealous as i seem to be to far away from you all.:(

    We've had a lovely afternoon / evening. We went to the castle but the ducks weren't very enthusiastic about being fed. They'd probably been fed all day. Then we got chips on the way home and sat in the garden to eat them. After that we watched Dr Who and bathed Ds2 and put him to bed, where he went straight to sleep.:jThe star chart is working wonders.

    I had a friend phone me to ask if i wanted a hamster. His friend was fed up with her kids not paying it any attention or cleaning it out so wanted to get rid of it.:( I couldn't say no so we now have a hamster called Larry. Ds2 thought we'd have to get rid of the rabbits to keep him ( which he was quite prepared to do :eek: ). He's a sweet little thing and is fast asleep now despite being supposidly nocturnal.His claws are really long so they're going to need to be cut.
