    Thanks for sharing the photo, you look amazing. I hope you had a great time.

    Serena safe journey, decent weather and enjoy vibe

    MrsChaos good luck for your observations

    LL thinking of you sweetie

    Triker I hope DD is ok and not too worried about school tomorrow

    Sold two items on ebay one of which I've been relisting for a while. Both large collection items so it will make a difference once they are collected.

    Struggling with motivation this week so may not be around too much. Hugs to all in need x

    Just sewn DS's Beavers badges on as I'd promised I'd have them done for tomorrow and I hadn't done it. He got his Chief Scout's Bronze award on Monday so he wanted to take his jumper into school to show his badges.

    Hi there, could I please join in too? I seem to be lacking motivation atm so this may be just what I need!

    I am going to aim to get as much done as poss in the evenings after work, hopefully with the help of almost grown up DS and DD (but haven't told them yet) ;)

    Thankyou
