Morning HHD
Hope packing up DS doesn't take too long. Is he really having to think about what to take back with him moving into a much smaller room or does he travel light anyway? Are you planning to stay overnight again to make the journey less tiring?
Hope your day at school isn't too tiring with having a busy weekend ahead of you. xx0 -
School yesterday sounded good but busy.
The weather is too wet here for drying outside. I miss air drying already.
Wishing you a good day today.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

I Think you need to say to DS3 that you are leaving at x time on Saturday
He's been packing today thankfully!Morning HHDHope packing up DS doesn't take too long. Is he really having to think about what to take back with him moving into a much smaller room or does he travel light anyway? Are you planning to stay overnight again to make the journey less tiring?
Hope your day at school isn't too tiring with having a busy weekend ahead of you. xx. DH is taking less stuff back with him as his room is so small, plus anything that won't fit in his room we'll just have to bring home again :rotfl:. Yes we are staying overnight on Saturday.
Hope you have a good journey taking ds back to uni.
Thank Milann.
