    I'm reading the suggestions for Greenbee's OH's Birthday Holiday Jaunt with interest. I have a little more time (March) but have similar plans for DH's half century. I need to start planning now as I have 5 kids to farm out and that's no picnic. The royal courtiers will have an easier time sorting out Priince Wills and Waity Katie's nuptials.

    a hug, boddy - not much else to day about this apart from the shock must be overwhelming for you both x

    I've done 3 lots of WM which is all on the line drying - washed a load of fleeces and blankets ready to the cooler weather and to help me not putting the heating on until Nov 1st if I can do this!

    HHI completed and put away - all done

    Next is the kitchen

    Morning, all: as I still don't know how to do multiple posts- it's OK, if you tell me now, it won't stick!- this is yet another from me...
    Anyway, a few highlights: due to the half price train tickets, have been out and about to a couple of towns but haven't had time to get to Hereford.
    Decluttered Him Indoors to Peterborough Beer Festival :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:on Saturday - I just went for the day - so had most of yesterday to have a bit of a sort out. After 4 or 5 years, I have discovered that you can put the shelf at the BOTTOM of the Ikea Aneboda wardrobe to get 2 shelves if you count the wardrobe floor. So that's 2 shelves I can reach as opposed to one I can't:rotfl:
    Also, as I had received the e-mail, I did some free listings on ebay - not that many! - and realised that I tend to spend too much time logged in and checking what's happening. (15 watchers on 1 item... 6 watching 4 other items. Let's hope they all remember to check in and buy)

    As there's another Bar Boot on the 11th, I need to get another batch of stuff ready. Him Indoors is decluttering several hours of TV off the hard disk recorder, so I'm off into battle with the bedroom as it's already too hot to go into the kitchen due to something called Blazing Sunshine. :D

    Hope all are well.
    Hugs to Boddy: how awful for all that knew him.
    Extra spoons over there, basket of sticks by the door for the Black Dogs... where's that coffee??

    Livingroom now cleared of children's toys. Washing load out on the line, it's bright here today so hopefully i'll get a good bit of washing done. DW loaded and now on.

    Gonna have a cuppa and then sort the mountain of clean clothes. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
