    Well, I have checked with airline and DS has got a 20kg allowance, since dd has got none. So I have moved a bit from the lighter case into the heavier case, which sounds mad. Then I realised my scales are always 2-3lb out anyway, so that's a kilo less. I know this as whenever the nurse weighs me I'm always less than at home, and that's after putting clothes on.

    So the suitcases are sorted. Just need to do a bag to leave at inlaws as we arrive back at midnight and they live near the airport, so we are sleeping at theirs on the return.

    I've been having a little tidy in the garage today, making room for tots bikes etc so they can be stored away while we are off. Nothing left to do except get us all bathed and hair washed in the morning.

    I'll have a last minute run around with bleach for loos and sinks before we leave tomorrow.

    So, if I don't post again, I'll catch up with you all the week of the 30th.

    Good luck to new jobs, and anyone else who needs a bit of luck x

    Fridays list is finished :D That means for the first time ever (I think!) I have completed the entire weeks lists :D:D:D the only room in this house that is remotely messy is my 7 yo DD's and she will be turfed up there after school to sort it out ;)

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
