    Fuddle - you both absolutely deserve your break - hope the weather is kind and relax and enjoy!
    Mrs L - what a lovely tiredness it is too - hope HWK is doing well.
    Hester - exciting times ahead - weather improving tomorrow so should all be good
    Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle

    I'm thrilled for your tiredness. Can we attribute it to fulfillment? :D

    All ok here. The house progress has stopped because we're now relying on trades, although DH still has to finish my bedroom door and we've redecorating to do but we aren't as there is still an awful lot of mess to come.

    DH and I have given away our children to their gran for the weekend, completely unselfishly mind you :D , because we're off to York for a break. No, not in the caravan... we're having a hotel treat. We're both just shattered. It's been a non stop roller coaster for so long with one thing or another. The caravan is fab but it's also hard work. So, she's staying in her storage place and we're off southwards to comfort and food in the next couple of hours. We're unashamedly indulging but for that I just cannot apologise. :o

    posted again as deleted by mistake. It's ok, silvasava isn't having a moment. ;)

    Just catching up. Hester? Boat! :D I must get on your blog! x

    I thought I was losing the plot :eek:

    I'd just posted to say good for you Fuddle you deserve a break and have a fantastic time :D:T...

    Next thing I know your post has disappeared and i was wondering if I'd imagined it during a senior moment :rotfl:

    The relief when I saw it reposted was vast :D

  • You can attribute the tiredness to anything you want FUDS but the real truth is that a certain young rascally rogue has his Oma so enthralled that she is putty in his small (and usually sticky) hands and is constitutionally incapable of saying 'no' to any request he makes.....I love him SO!

    Karcher - I posted after Fuddle's but my post has come out before hers! Don't know what's happened there - am I in a parallel universe????

    Yep, must be a parallel universe!

    I love York too, one of the reasons we moved north. Was there yesterday but that was to take DH to hospital.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I went to York once, was supposed to be for 3 days but we lasted a day. It was the busiest place I have ever seen in my life lol and I got fedup of being knocked off the pavement into the road. We came home - via the moors and Whitby, they were both much easier to cope with than York :)

    I like York, but I have barely visited for leisure reasons, just three times, I think, - a lot of work related visits though.
    Two separate organisations I worked for ran regular training days there. One set of training was in a lovely old church hall in the city centre, the other was way out on a trading estate. No prizes for guessing which was the favourite.

    I was brought up in York. Have no relatives living there now so have not been there for about 20 years.
