    Hello-Butterflies-On-Flowers-Animated-Image.gif


    Hi everyone, sorry not popping in very regularly at the moment as been really busy. DD1 and family are coming down from Durham to see us at the weekend so trying to get a bit more sorted. Could do with a lot more energy! Have still got quite a big list of things to do and sort trying to tick at least on off each day. Don't thing we will be moving again in a hurry but glad we have.

    I often keep things in a box from wins for family presents April, its a big help.

    You are really getting organised with the CTW's leanfun. We use laptops as find the iPad a bit slow for them.

    Hi firefly, I love a rocking chair but some of the modern ones are not that comfy as you say.

    Hope you manage to get your new lawn Wingo. DD's dress sounds lovely, hope she has a lovey time.

    We have had loads of rain here in Yorkshire Alfie.

    Hi everyone else, hope you are OK and hugs for those who need one. Good luck.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    Just had a very surprise delivery turn up. A children's paddling pool and a bottle of Tescos Olive Oil. No paperwork with it. What a strange combination!

    The packaging had sender Edkins and Ives Blobal limited, which looking up is a media company.

    I could have entered for a paddling pool but don't remember the comp as for Tesco Olive Oil I forgot to put it on last online shopping so am about to run out so very welcome.


    lol, we must have cross posted leanfun,
    well done,
    it's from midnighters post :j

    that's 2 of us won :j
    the olive oil I received with the paddling pool is ' filippo berrio '
    with the price on it as £3.49 for the bottle :dance:

    Great FireFly, well done too, thanks for the link.

    We have a paddling pool which was used for soft ball play and has a hole in it so this will be useful.

    Brilliant you sorted the rocking chair so it can be used and enjoyed by a number of people.

    Take care Sylvia. One job at a time seems a great target. Know what you mean about energy. Hope you enjoy DD's visit. Hope it's fine for you.

    April I'm sure your Mum will be very pleased with the book.

    April, I'm sure your mum will love the book for her
    birthday. Think that's what most of us do in here - it's
    always lovely to be able to use our wins as gifts for
    others, whatever the occasion. :) :dance:

    together in the end. Have a wonderful time with DD1

    Mis and we enjoyed it so much we later bought a DVD

    Love going to the theatre. :j

    Yes wingo! I am bored bored bored with the football. :p
    Think the trouble is awful though! :eek:

    So sorry to hear about the lovely Audi being nicked and
    then damaged by drunken driver. :eek: This
    sort of thing really makes my blood boil! :angry:

    Well - may try and do comp catch up while I'm on
