    All Rhys's clothes have been sorted through and i have a mountain to put on ebay. Hopefully i'll be able to cover the things he needs, winter coat, jumpers etc. :D

    DS2 went to the doctors yesterday and he has a sore throat so he's got his medicine(sp) and hopefully he'll be better soon because i honestly can't take the screaming much more.

    Got hubby a cable for the PS3 yesterday and he's been playing online since. :mad: Should have known it was a bad idea.

    Anyway back to flying. :rotfl:
