    Hellooooo! Just popping in for what seems to be my weekly flying visit! Not read much but;

    - massive hugs to Embb, that really does remind me not to sweat the small stuff!
    - valli - I noticed you were doing a residential this week. From the bottom of my heart THANKYOU! Without people like yourself my children wouldn't have been away with their schools for the last five years and they have a ball.
    - Helen - happy birthday to you! Have a wonderful day!

    I'm off list (there's a surprise!). I'm gutting the master bedroom as I want to get rid of the dressing table (7 drawers of [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] very important gibble) so I can get a kingsize bed. Now, as some of you might remember, that will still leave me with one or two drawers in the bedroom (31 to be precise!) and only three of those are my husbands domain :o. So, today's job is fling in the bin, fling to charity, fling in the recycling and then get rid of the dressing table. It was gorgeous in it's day but now it's tatty, dated, broken and needs to go!

    I may be sometime!

    {Mudbath wanders off wondering what she'll find under the bed!!!}
