    This goes so well with your signature about a positive attitude underneath it, made me laugh out loud!

    Trust me - that WAS me being positive :rotfl:

    Well, I'm glad to see the end of May, a soggy old month, both weather and tissue wise, culminating in a very sad funeral :(.

    Onwards and upwards. June has arrived in a blaze of sunshine - doesn't look as it will last long though according to the forecast :cool:.

    4 sleeps :j:j:j

    Before I go, I need to:
    • Check in
    • Print out boarding passes, car hire etc
    • Start to write shopping list for when I arrive (including suncream for DD :D)
    • Sort out arrangements for meeting DD :D
    • Sort out clothes from ebay spree and pack
    • Declutter excess hair :o
    • Phone Auntie J
    • Phone Auntie M
    • Pop up to see tenant
    • Plant out plants bought last week
    • Harvest radishes :D
    • Look at ins & outs and send MFiT3 update :A
    • Visit friend 1
    • Possibly visit friend 2
    • Speak to friend 3 & possibly see
    • Speak to friend 4, hopefully for exciting job related shenanigans
    • Offer DS use of my cleaner while I'm away, aka bring round your ironing :A
    • Write note for cleaner & leave 2 weeks money (always forget the money bit :rotfl:)
    • [STRIKE]Look up weather forecast for holiday[/STRIKE]
    • Update Consumer Pulse with ebay purchases
    Eek :eek:

    Done.

    Daytime 26-29 :)
    Night time 18-20 :)
    Every day 75-80% sunshine :)
    Chance of rain 5% :)

    :T That'll do nicely :T
