    Good morning everyone :beer:

    Went to DD's college last night for a talk about Uni entrance. I had a chat with her tutor, who is delighted with her progress. DD was very happy at this, as she didn't excel academically - she seems to have found her niche :) I had a complete nightmare journey home on the train - 3.5 hours to travel 30 miles :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I woke in the night to hear the wheelie bins going over ........... twice :( Couldn;t get out of the house this morning until I'd moved them :eek: Luckily, they haven't spilt their contents, and the waste bin is collected today :T

    DD and I are off to Dunelm this afternoon, so I want to get the place straight this morning, so that I can relax over the weekend (and catch up on some sleep :o )

    Off to find a list ...........

    I seem to remember spotting a link in someone's sig before :whistle::whistle::whistle: Though, I hasten to add - I didn't dob you in it - if I spot a transgression, I always contact the poster personally :)

    Off topic help needed I've been organising our school reunion(class of 1984 ............... I know it's off topic, but if anyone has any suggestions.... x

    My suggestion - don;t go :rotfl: Those things fill me with horror - there are reasons why I've not been in touch with people I was at school with, for 30 years :eek::eek::eek: Sorry if that's not useful :o

    Pen - your box is full!

    So blowy here that, last night, no-one dared put out their recycling boxes and bags, for which I am SO grateful as the they blow all over the place.
    They were all out this morning though. I was just adding to mine;) when two scousers walked past, chatting (that's how I know the were scousers) saw what I was putting in the box, and one of them said 'That was quick! It's only 8 o'clock!' :rotfl:

    I have washing out now though, and it's almost dry:eek:
