    Dusty. Thanks for the new thread.

    Soapie Hi. Welcome back. Only been back a short while myself. Hugs.

    Triker. Meant to say Hi the other day.

    Well tackled some more of the spare room today. One bag of rubbish plus a bag for charity shop.

    Thunderstorms and a deluge here today so the cat has been hiding all day.

    Hugs where needed.

    Three of my friends have the same balance bike (and I've seen it around a lot, too) (blue and yellow, no idea of make!), so I'm going to try and find out what it is/ how much it is. Failing that I'm thinking of this one: http://www.balancebike.co.uk/balance-bike-product.php?fifty-blue-balance-bike DS3 is just 3 but titchy (just growing out of 12-18m clothes) so another alternative is the £28 one at Tesco Direct (has a poor review for being very small ;))

    Great, thanks, will get measuring. My two are both quite tall, but dd is not yet 2 so the tesco one might be ok for her...

    This week I'll be mainly decluttering my job, have a list but I'm quite organised and have cleared my desk, just got some finishing up things to do but in the main, I'm done.:D

    Then there's my new job which I'll be starting the week after but I'll see what that brings when I get to it.

    We're also off on holiday for a week so that needs sorting, packing cases, cat sitters, fridge emptied.

    Plus I also need to sort finances as they are now going to be very reduced for a while until I get the next stage of my grand plan in motion.

    Oh.....and of course the never ending ebaying to sort, the house to clean and whatever else needs attending to.:cool::o

    So in short....I'm in!:rotfl:

    Thanks for the new thread. I'm off to beddybyes soon so I can get off to a 'flying' start tomorrow! Must stop being distracted by the olympics and finish my work so I can get this house sorted.

    Morning All

    I won't be in! However, I have stripped the bed, WM & TD x 1 and other bits and pireces this morning. I have some mince in the fridge which I don't know whether to cook and take with us or whether to just stick it in the freezer. Everyone needs showers before we go and the last bits need packing and putting in the car. Dog crate doesn't fit in the car so he'll have to be loose although I think we're still taking it with us so if we wanted to just pop out for half an hour we could leave him in that if he's happy with it. He has been in it but hasn't been left in it IYSWIM - it was bought to go in the car but doesn't fit!

    MrsC - we come back on Friday and then go to Pwllheli on Saturday!

    Have a good couple of weeks everyone - I may catch up on Friday but it depends when we get back - I'm leaving Dusty in charge so everyone needs to behave!;) I know that's more difficult for some than others.:p
