Good morning ladies :beer: I have another morning volunteering, then off to the bank for my mother. I then need to get jobs done and will decide whether to go to knitting group, or out in the garden

Somehow I appear to have ordered this Once it arrives, there'll be no stopping me

I have finally got a smart phone (well, smart-ish, couple of GCSEs only ) and have spent several days trying to load an app. I now have it - to count knitting rows :j:j:j:j:j

Off to get DS up, with a cup of tea, then in the shower.

Checked phone and got school offer for DS, first choice:T

Woop-woop, Bossy - that must be a big relief with smiles all round!!! Who did you ring to tell at that time of the morning?

I am wildly impressed with everybody's flying achievements this week and last week, having done very little myself. Skint, you are doing really well - be proud of yourself and your helpful DD.

I am now in the middle of a serious tidy-up of my study, as I had a mad day yesterday, what with putting in the house offer first thing and then doing all sorts of craft bits and filling up resource boxes while we waited for the EA's phonecall - this morning the place looked like a bomb had hit it! Still more paperwork and crafting to be done today, but I'm giving myself the morning off and going on a trip with our family history group to the local heritage centre I won't find any of my ancestors there, but it's an interesting place anyway.

Dusty, we shall only be about 5 miles from my oldest son and his family instead of over 100 :j
