    Thanks for the thread Juliejim
    Hello to the newbies and welcome back to the returners, nice to see lots of familiar names congratulations Polkadot

    , good to see you posting again.

    ETA Since posting this Winchelsea I have seen your news on the grocery challenge, and I wanted to say that I am thinking of you and your family.

    I need to do the DW, empty and re-fill the WM, and do HHI tonight, anything else will be a minor miracle.

    Kitchen clean and tidy, children both in bed and I'm about to settle down on the sofa with my knitting and herbal tea. All I need is some chocolate (and of course my DH who is home tomorrow) and I'd be very happy!!

    Evening all

    Very little achieved flying wise but all the other bits that needed doing today are done and some prep for my governor meetings.

    Plan to have quite an early night with my book but the kitchen needs tidying yet.

    Winchelsea lovely to see you posting and big hugs for you
