    Thanks for the reply.

    Got the two muddled but do remember Diva with her purple posts. Her passing is a shock and must have been to all - anyone know what happened?

    Is FunFairPrincess still posting?

    Sorry, will get back to flying topics when the shock has p[assed.

    Living room/hall/stairs are all relatively OK. Kitchen is a tip, so have to do that, packing and watering tomorrow. Guess I should go to bed now as I'll have to be up early to fit everything in.

    Arms are sore from gardening... where the roses didn't scratch me I've got burns from pulling out the euphorbias that have taken over the garden :( sadly I forgot that you need to wear full protective gear when gardening...

    Apparently its not going to rain for the next couple of weeks, so be prepared for a poor harvest in the autumn... and an expensive one with all the irrigation and a drought already this year...

    Hi Guys, I'm in again, I've somewhat fallen off the wagon this week as I've had Mom and Stepdad staying with me since Thursday so all I've managed to do is feed and water and entertain them for the last four days!! Must try harder next week!! ;)
    My aim is to do all 3 levels EVERY! day, please feel free to nudge me if I look like I'm slipping too much, my house really needs housework and my ironing pile actually fell over :eek: this morning :rotfl:

    I need to get my bum in gear and rejoin again please if I may. Been away for a week and DS has been doing god knows what and the house is trashed. I seem to be fighting a loosing battle as far as housework is concerned. I am too easily distracted so I need to get motivated and im hoping that you are all going to kick my a$$.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks to all
