Can I ask a daft question? I haven't been abroad for a very long time. OH has a conference in Paris in May (lucky so and so) - his passport expires this month.

Do you need a passport to travel within the EU nowadays??

In a word, Yes!

We even needed them to go to Guernsey a couple of years back - you never used to need them to travel to CI.

Thank you, everyone, for the support; :beer::beer::beer:

I've emailed the District Manager back with our suggestion of meeting place, just got to wait to hear if the new people can make it/find the pub etc.:o When I know when it's to take place, I'll no doubt be asking for Flylady courage.;)

Also used one of the Level 3 tasks for today to get the files for that region ready for handover.;) Well, part of it was in a box that never gets looked at......:p

Moogie you sound very much like me - I struggle to go out as far as the compost bin on my own! (Strangely, I'm OK if I have a Canine guest with me - but who said phobias were logical?) But a very big Well Done to you on coping with the visit to the school; I bet it meant the world to your DD.:T:T:T

Anyways... I think I'm as done with today's list as I'm going to get.... here's all I had left after my post this morning, together with progress report.:o

Tuesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 1
Level 2
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs.. Done; bedroom dragons all nice and clean; cloth changed, the whole nine yards.:j
Wash windows Done
Level 3
Sort through a box or bag of stuff you've not looked at in months.. I am certain you don't need most of it Stuff gone through to make sure everything for the region the new volunteers are taking over is all in apple-pie order; including extracting stuff for that region from Archive box:p:p:p. Small starting supply of stationery printed off for them also.

Did bedroom and landing carpets and cleaned loads of windows. Have decided to do all the windows in the house (2/3 down - 1/3 to go, maybe tomorrow). They definitely hadn't been cleaned for a year... possibly 2. Things that have been left that long are wonderful to do - there's such a difference when it's done!

I was trying to S&S the bathroom and the sink was blocked so I spent a fair amount of time unblocking it. Not the most pleasent of tasks but it should last me another few weeks til I can get time to have the plumber round. still, S&S complete.
I have now done all the above that is struck (also re-did mondays list as you would never have believed i did any of it if you had seen my lounge this morning!) I then decorated dd2's cake and proceeded to put on 1WM before tackling the bedroom. It was rather dire in there but already looks easier to go back to so fingers crossed, I can get thru this week and perhaps chip away at it some more after completeing other rooms. I really want to get the room painted before the new baby arrives. I gave birth to dd3 in that room and the walls had just started to be painted then. They look no different now nearly three years on to how they did then and its quite disheartnening. I have promised myself that i will get through one wall at a time as soon as i deal with al the bags and boxes in there so it is giving me an incentive to get it done. I also took a bit of time to sort through some old pics which i will put away soon enough and thankfully, we are out for dinner. dd chose the restaurant she wants to have her birthday meal at and its one we all love so I am going to get the children from school and then have a nice bath in the hope DH takes his time getting home. lol

toochoosey

Good afternoon all, hope you have all had a good day.
I went on training day and work at lunchtime. Picked up DD and have put dinner on.
Clothes on the rads are dry so going to iron them now(only a few bits) and then see what else needs doing today. In tomorrow waiting for delivery so will catch up with the bedroom then...

Off to the ironing board, Now............xx

Wolfie, could you take a dragon with you to lend you strength? Metaphorical or literal:D

Ah, heaven: tonight's training has been postponed so time to tackle those paper piles and maybe a couple of stackable plastic boxes could go from under bed or top of wardrobe to cupboard... And there's always the ebay sales...
and the new cover for the settee cushions...
and a meal plan...
