    Morning all,

    AJMoney - keep trying with the tickets. We were only supposed to have two for dh's PhD graduation and I kept ringing the office and ended up with enough for his parents, my parents and me. We weren't all together but it was fine. They released the extras quite close to the date as I remember.

    Off to declutter ds2 to school in a mo - only one more week of primary school!!!!

    Back to watch plasterer then, collect dh from the airport and then work - will need to fly later
