    toochoosey I'm not far from Hereford itself, whereabouts are you? Bearing in mind previous warnings, if we are thinking about planning a meet then we'll start discussing details by PM, but yey!!! :D I can do most days given enough notice :p and if any flyladies do come to my house I'll be providing blindfolds at the door so you can't see the cobwebs :eek::eek::eek: (it's an old house & we have high ceilings - and I've only been flying for a couple of weeks!! :rotfl::rotfl:)

    ETA: and congrats on the 4lb!!!!

    Just watching the 10pm news.

    I feel sorry for our Scottish flyladies - seems the volcanic dust is landing already in Glasgow. Have any of you seen it?

    Sending you a virtual feather duster to help clear up...

    Hi all,

    Sorry havent been around much today and flying has been limited to baking a choc cake and planting some cucumber seeds, this has been due to rearranging flights for DD1 she has been on holiday with her best friend and her family however they are now stuck in Croatia - i was all geared up to her coming home tonight but it is looking like sat at the earliest!!! (it took a lot for us to let her go but we knew that we arent able at the moment to holidays abroad and we do know the family that she is with well) its just been very hard today to realise that is going to be a couple of days before shes back.

    plan for tomorrow is looking like -
    walk dog
    meet up with family
    skype ems again waiting for an update
    keep going with WM loads
    need to start some ironing
    bathrooms

    will probably do more baking seem to find cooking/baking a good way of relaxing.
