    Thanks, Beccie.
    We went away to a holiday camp (quite a famous one) and it was awful.
    Sobusy you couldn't get to do anything. We had prepaid for meals and they were horrible, but I refused to not eat them as it would have been wasting money:money:
    So happy to be home.
    We all are. Looking forward to the next couple of weeks with Halloween and Bonfire night. My DD loves it.
    But also having a new kitchen fitted (saved for) but dreading the upheaval:o
    Just catching up on a few diaries while first load of washing is doing:)

    That's such a shame, could you put a complaint in?

    That's not fair when a weekend away should be a good thing!

    I'm really looking forward to Halloween and fireworks too, I love that more than Xmas.

    Spent all weekend working on my Halloween costume as I had no pennies to go out anywhere! :)

    I'm sure you are not incapable, jwil.

    I tried to read and understand the thread but the only thing that grabbed be was the dot to dot cleaning.

    Basically you pick a room and a spot (dot) that needs cleaning and tidying-you have to deal with everything in the dot (not just move it somewhere else :)) then when that dot is done you pick another dot and as they join up the whole room gets done:).
    I have started in my kitchen, I have done one dot and feel better already:).

    I like that idea, maybe I should give that a go. Thanks!

    That's not nice about your holiday, I think you should definitely write a complaint!

    I just waffle away on my diary too, so carry on if you want to!

    Thanks I love all your diaries.
    They are always interesting and often make me chuckle away at my lap-top.
    You are all lovely :)
