    Thought I'd be able to do a couple of online bits online during the paid stuff but it's proving to be a fail.
    Went onto RM website to look at mail redirecting and it's £21 for three months. Might just rely on a) the list I haev of people/places to inform and b) having a spare key so can pop round to check mail (goes in communal door not flat door). Nothing too important can be missed as been keeping a list.
    Then went onto LA website and thoguht woohoo can change address online... started the process but the amount of info they are asking for is crazy so will need to wait till I'm home and can find it all!
    Doubt $ky/utilities etc etc won't allow these things online as they'll want to try to talk me into staying so I'll probably have to tie myself to the laptop/landline when I get home to do it all then! argh!!

    Cuppa anyone:D:D:o

    Yeah, I will join you in that. We have had the plasterer back to do more work on the living room ceiling so most of the furniture from the living room is in the kitchen and has to stay there for now. The house is a complete tip - the carpets are covered in dog hairs despite the fact that I hoovered everywhere on Sunday and I just dont want to be bothered. Sigh.

    Might take the dog for a walk now then make a start when I come back. I could at least try and make the kitchen as presentable as possible!

    thifty - fingers crossed you get it

    FFP glad he has arrived safely

    I got the back grass cut before the rain started
    WM2 just finished, not sure where it will go yet

    Loads of Governor emails sent, just need a few replies and I can get the job finished - filing next and there is loads but I'm going to make Tom Soup for when the boys get home from school first for a break.

    Hey all,

    Hope you are all grand...

    I haven't caught up with all of the thread yet, I just wanted to let you all know that I have stopped dragging my heels and finally posted the stars for last week. It seemed a fitting tribute to Toots, but posting them for the last time was harder than I thought it would be, and well, I have just put it off and put it off. I am sorry to you all as you should have had them before now!

    Piggers, fab photos... you should be super proud. It must be lovely to have such a big family xx
    Thanks to Honey Bear for the recipe for the PB cookies... I think even I could make them :p Must give them a go as no doubt DS would love them

    I have been flying and have lots to report, but in the mean time I have lots of uni work to do and timetables to print, calanders to update etc... so must crack on with that first.

    Hmmm, the dog however is sitting with his legs crossed, so should really get some fresh air with him first :D

    Later, xx
    :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)
