    I'm in again but will get to it tomorrow. Tonight I have been dying curtains. Always wanted to use that dyl#n stuff since I was a kid and my mum never let me!

    Was very exciting!

    You lot can't half talk... :p Didn't manage to catch up on last week's thread...

    Good to see that you're doing the Breakthrough study PenPen. Do you still need the courgette soup recipe or did someone pass it on to you?

    No chance of me being in this week, as I'm in Paris Wed/Thurs and have two presentations and a workshop to write (apparently I should have done them already :o).

    I spent the weekend in Devon with OH and my dad, managing to do some sailing and kayaking as well as packing up the holiday cottage. Lots of it has come back to OH's flat, and more is being delivered on Friday.

    I waved OH off on the train today, he's off to Brazil tonight for work and won't be back till Friday afternoon :( but I guess I'll probably get a bit more done while he's away that I do when he's here :o Although I do have to spend lots of time with my new nephew...

    Suppose I should get on and make my bed, so I can get some sleep!

    See you all tomorrow :D

    Happy Anniversary Lamewolf and Mr LW

    Hope - Great news

    Smartie - beautiful baby, lovely name (DS3 was going to be Daisy had he been pink)

    JulieJim - hope tomorrow is better for you and you get a good nights sleep.

    Greenbee - have a safe trip.

    DS1 was taken to the bus stop for the college bus by wonderful FIL. Despite him packing his bag last night with my supervision he managed to forget his phone. He didn't answer any texts today and I was frantic before he finally came home at 6.30. The bus goes home backwards so drops off at the village which is the first pick up of the morning in the evening.

    DD1 texted to say she didn't have enough money to get home so I rushed to the bank to pay some in. Several hours later a text to say she was going to the boyfriend and would be on the 8pm bus. She is still not home.:cool:

    Nice lunch with a my BF today. We both had loads to tell each other so a day was very enjoyably spent decluttering alot of gossip!

    Minimal flying done today. Another lunch tomorrow so I will be HHCing from when I get back from the school run tomorrow morning.
