    :T Yay Bonnie :D Doesn't it feel fab :j

    Thanks JennyJewell. Indeed it does!! I am feeling very refreshed and calmer :o if that makes any sense.

    Time to empty WM load no. 1 of stuff DS has brought home. I washed his bedding while he was away and left the new bedding on his chair (sidetracked by BBQ invite...) and he as made his own bed without being asked :rotfl:

    The rest of the toy corner and a cupboard full of Ds2's books have been decluttered and packed. I've run out of boxes now so it's back to just decluttering unless something can go in a black bag.

    Ds2 is in the bath so i'm going to bath him, put him to bed, put the rabbits to bed and then carry on with the living room. I would call it a day but the letting agent is coming tomorrow so we can fill in some forms for the new house and the living room is a bit of a state now.:cool:

    ajmoney was it one of your group that passed away unexpectedly? Are you playing at the funeral?

    No thankfully, it was a different service to ours and we haven't had it confirmed exactly which branch so I am not sure who will be doing the funeral.

    We have had an exhausting day, loft emptied, wardrobe dismantled, clothes packed and a lot more stuff. Stopping for some dinner and then moving onto the kitchen. Depending on how long that takes and how many boxes we use will depend on if we do anything else tonight. OH is back at work tomorrow so I may get some stuff done while he is away before I go into work.

    AJ you have been busy - well done:T - when are you moving again? He was brought up in the same village as me but I had left so didnt know him - my mother did and knows his foster/adopted parents-mother heard today it was to be a military funeral so I wondered. It will be hard for his colleagues to keep performing without thinking of him. And he was young - very sad.

    Well kids enjoyed themselves today, mind you i'm knackered. :rotfl:

    My plans this week is to keep to the flying, i feel myself being chased by the BD at the minute and know i need to keep going. I've a few appointments and school uniforms need to be got, I would need to do abit of ebaying too. I must check the oil too.

    I need to be prepared for KH showing up at some point as his money has just ran out so i'm sure he'll land looking his stuff which he'll sell for penny's.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    box his stuff and put it by the door so it can just be kicked out in his direction!

    Seafarers... Soak in COLD salt water.. then in bio powder.. anything warmer than body temp cooks it so it never can be removed.. though I have washed stuff on a cold wash with bio powder and it came out
