    I managed to dismantle the bed although it took most of the afternoon so DH came in and built the new bed. So after Beavers I cam back and helped DH to build the bed then put my new bedding on.

    Tired after work & a taxing evening drinking & laughing ;)

    Re flymeet: assuming everyone's half-term is the same week (commencing Monday 28th October), shall we make our meet day on Tuesday?

    So far we have ionafan, frodders, deco, shortbird, juliejim et moi. If the Tuesday is no good for anyone who hasn't yet put their hand up, then please say ASAP.

    shortbird any help & info you have would be great, thank you. I will be coming by train (or coach, if the coach station is in a better location?).

    No flying today, will need to fly and make house 'safe' for a 3 yr old & a 4 yr old tomorrow afternoon.

    Hope the poorlies are better soon. Have a fab Wedding Day FizzWhizz! Love to all xx

    Morning all

    Just having my first cuppa of the day, most of the packing up to go home has been done.

    DW to empty and reload and I will make pancakes out of the last egg. Few dirty clothes to stuff in the bag and then toiletries and pjs for our overnight stop.

    Feel relaxed and recharged to get on with all the outstanding stuff at home.

    CY fingers crossed for the house sale and DD

    TMD I hope things stay amicable

    Lovely pics pigpen, she's gorgeous!

    Still in bed here. DD with me, still croupy. DS in his own bed, no signs of stirring.

    Today's plan:
    Breakfast
    Laundry sort
    Grab flash drive for inlaws (finish their PCM transfer)
    Go to m@talan en route for:
    • Ski mitts
    • Tutu skirt thing for DD birthday
    • Hoody for DS - :o noticed yesterday his sleeves were, ahem, shrinking ;)
    • Look at coats for me - there maybe one I like...
    Finish off pc stuff
    Feed littlies
    Come home
    Continue decluttering!

    Morning everyone.
    Hope everyone is well. I'm up early for the first time in weeks.
    I have to go to the hospital this morning to talk about inducing baby to avoid a quick uncontrolled labour.
    So my plans are to get the washing up done and a load of washing out.
    Will see about flying on my return.
    Have a good day ladies.
