    Nope, we're probably arranging car shares and booking advance train tickets to North Lincolnshire....!

    I can drive and can pick other flyladys up on route but as its a 3.5 hour drive I would need a big pot of strong coffee when we get there:p:D


    NN has been round and done the downstairs windows for me and as she has no cat food at the moment (no money as she is in between jobs) i gave the cat a tin of tuna will get here some essentials while i am picking ds up from nursery.

    roundtuit - I'm in Kent, but I'll come for tea and cake!!:D And what do you mean, not pressurising? Has pigpen not given you a virtual kick yet, or thrown a fluffly mule at you??:p

    hugs for onestep.

    Despie a v-e-r-y s-l-o-w start this morning, with the help of copious amounts of coffee, I have managed to ge the kitchen and the living room finished.:D:D:D

    Two half days to go to the summer holiday. Thank goodness.

    I've also managed to find a gite for a week, so we will be going away.I'd rather go for two weeks, but the teens can't be parted from their loved ones for that long, apparently. Might try and squeeze in a short break some other time.

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday froddington!!
