soappie thanks for the thoughts but I do really want to go proper abroad!!! and I am not allowed to fly and the train is meant to be a no-no as well!

So car and ferry then? It still give you lots of options. Have you got a list of places to which you could reasonably make the journey?

remind me of DS referring to his 'stepdad' once...who do you mean? I asked DS nodded at EXH who was still OH and inresidence at that time...'him'...
'he's NOT your stepdad, he's your dad' I said (somewhat confused because the child CALLEDhim dad...
'but you were married before said DS'
yes I was = but hubby#2 was (and is) their father...
DS, bless him, had put two-and-two together and come up with entiurely the wrong answer

I have decluttered two 12 year old sofas onto the front garden and let in two new leather sofas

NDN has taken the old sofas - but NOT to the tip - his BIL, (who is going to do my roof when I get round to actually asking him to) has asked if he could have them as he, GF and baby have been given notice to quit their furnished place (or have given notice) and need some furniture, they're hoping for a council house. So the sofas are in NDN's lockup in the interim.:T:T:A

I hope you are feeling suitably virtuous :A

Today's goal was another 500 words and I have smashed it, have just finished at 1020 with the total now being 4759 so I am well on the way to my word count (only another 1241 and I am half way).
I am at work this afternoon so am going to stop and shower and have lunch etc.

I remember how this feels, you get so you feel wrung out somehow.
Well done, keep it going :T:T:T
