    Wow! Benben.... I am *so* impressed with what youve done - no wonder Hypno says that you're more organised than she is. I think we now have a dual star arrangement! All that mortgage-busting, you give your ds the time of his life, and you've got a date as well! I am seriously, seriously impressed.

    Preloved - well, it wasn't just sitting in front of the computer, they ask for pix, which I'd totally forgotten about. What I did do is get 3 of the main groups of magazines and sort them into lots to sell. Then clear them away for when I feel better. The next job is to iron a sheet so I can lay them on a pale background to take the photies.

    Have a good day.

    Awww, thanks KC :D:D Its funny, when I read it back on here it does sound as if I'm organised, but in real life I don't feel it if that makes sense? I think its a female thing to feel never quite good enough isn't it :rolleyes: and I blame my ex a lot for me feeling like that too:o ;)

    Yep def his loss!!

    Longdown is good, we went there on Sat, DD loved it. If you want to go there on Thurs let me know, it's £6.75 for adults and for over 3's it's £5.75. I could pay half for your DS. I can make us a packed lunch. There is a great soft play area which DD loves.
