    phonecall at 9am yesterday informed me that my mum was coming.

    so shopping trip cancelled (need to look at beds) and kids encouraged/cajoled to be well behaved!

    so not much flying done really:mad:

    managed to speak to a couple of friends - 1 i haven't spoken to for ages - so that was a good catch up.

    DD2 babysits with a mate - and they are babysitting Friday night. I was talking to mates mum yesterday and she mentioned her eldest's graduation - alarm bells start ringing and sure enough she confirms that they're not back until Sunday!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    If ever there was a woman who needed a decent calendar - it's her!!!

    So DD2 will do it alone (they are not the easiest of kids) and will get all the money.....but I will have to go and collect her!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
