    All I've managed to do this week is clean the bathroom! Next week will be better because I have more time off. Could have done a bit today but been busy setting up my new phone and running around after my dad!

    Been awol for a few months now - still posting elsewhere but not flying. Back to it from today/tomorrow as big work pressures have eased back to normal manic mode rather then frantic and now the daylight seems to be lasting a little longer I am more in the mood to get stuff shifted. Roll on a new start (yet again)

    Hi Dorastar, good to see you back

    Hob is spotless, and several more loads of washing have been done. Need to do lots of ironing tonight though - I do so hate ironing.

    All babyDs slides and bobbles all put together in her new special box.

    So pleased with what I have achieved:j:j

    Thanks to all of you too as DS1 GOT HIS COLLEGE PLACE:j:j..he is training to be a police officer:dance:

    And after a 3 hour wait at the hospital after Toddlers on Friday he now has even more medication to take:eek:.

    Will be going to town straight from school run tomorrow to fetch his prescription...they had nothing in stock on Saturday...but to be fair what he needs is certainly not run of the mill

    Lovely to see returnees and newbies

    Hope your tooth has eased JulieJIm xx

    Meant to say...thank you for all the suggestions about disposing of videos...think I will sweet talk OH into sneaking them into the tip...thats if he is ever home long enough lol xx

    Hello!

    Happy belated birthday to all I have missed this week:beer:
    Hugs to all poorlies x

    greenbee - special hugs for you; let me know if you feel up to visitors any time or if I can do anything xx

    CY - congrats on being MF :j

    MrsC - glad to hear the plan is moving on :D sorry about DS1 and the job :(

    I'm sure there was more I wanted to say, but brain is on strike!!

    Minimal flying here again due to monitoring in school on Friday for stuff which is solely my responsibility! Outside person in to monitor so cue stressful few days beforehand as I convinced myself things weren't good enough :o Luckily, the woman who came in was very nice and all went well (and she is going back to see if we are allowed to change some of the formats to suit a special school :T)

    I have made a big decision this week and have decided to move house! I dont' want to be in this house for ever and, rather than spend lots of money doing it up, I am going to sell it as it is. I have made an appointment with mortgage advisor for the first day of the Easter hols so I can sort things out and then I shall be house hunting :D

    My decluttering mission has now become even more important :o

    Love and hugs to all especially Toots, L-L, LW and pigpen xx

    all the washing has been washed.line dried and ironed.

    Congratulations CY - a good use of a legacy that...

    Went out to Littleover last night to a posh meal for my sis's birthday. Bought her a lantern (chinese floaty fiery one) then got v. worried but they are 8 miles from the airport - and the wind was blowing towards the airport (was a 'green' one with no steel;)
    Ver nice meal - I had pheasant - so that was a first! Went for the classic Valli starter though (mushroom and stilton;)) Love 'em!
    brought a gerbil bag home - BiL didn't eat the grapes on his cheeseboard so I snaffled them in a napkin for the lil furries!

    Thought you'd put DOT to work sealing and grouting then Piggers! :rotfl:
