    At last someone is posting on the thread - thought we had all killed it. Pleased to hear all is well with everyone - had a lie ine today - not normal for me - but just had a bacon roll and cuppa - now must face some more packing and cleaning, but heh we are nearly there. Have I already said we have set the moving date? Well, just in case I haven't 2nd and 3rd September. On the 4th September we shall be scattering my friends ashes and so that will close one chapter and a nw one will begin. Before that though I have two more of OH's birthday surprises to get through (THAT MEANS A SECRET SB). We are heading up north on Wednesday night to his DD and then on Thursday have a tour of Man Utd with my DS1 DGS1 and friend OH and me. Going to York for the day on Saturday, our WA and I have always been promised we would go there, so have planned it myself as one of his treats :rotfl: Then off to his home for surprise party with his family and friends - but found out on Friday that halve the invites didn't arrive, so have now upset sisters and am frantically having to ring everyone!! As if there is not enough to do.... Then back home on BHM off to France to tour the battlefields on Tuesday, back Thursday late and then move. Great having time off work isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:T Okay you all do keep in touch and where are some of the other posters, lets hear from you all. Take care and hugs to all those who need them.. Bye bye for now. Billie xx

    I watched The Railway Children a couple of weeks back, immediately thought of GallyGirl!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Good luck with the move and the next batch of surprises Billie :j

    I am heading Niccawards next Thursday for a family party, very excited as I love being north of the border :j:j

    SB - Make as much noise as you can, dropping pans and the like. Jailer's with hangovers deserve to be punished :D:rotfl::D

    :oBillie I am SO SORRY, I'm normally excellent at keeping secrets and can be trusted.....just clearly NOT when I'm drunk! Please tell me I didn't ruin any surprises you'd planned, I'm such a plank. A very remorseful plank. :(
    I hope you manage to smooth things over with sisters and reach everyone and all your plans actually GO to plan. Will step back before I do any further damage. Have a great time with all the surprises :)

    I just KNEW you wouldn't be slowing down, even if you are on holiday from work! I hope once you're settled in to your new home you get time to slow down to a less frantic pace. xx :A
