    Evening all


    Big (((((hugs))))) to Pigpen


    Count me in again - I'll do my best! We might not be going to Newcastle Emlyn as DB's been ill with migraine all day and SIL has not been well either! :confused: They're having a great holiday.

    Anyway, there are lots of other nice places to go if we don't go there.

    Hello, I'm in! ((big huggles for pigpen and family))

    Well sort of in anyway. DP has had one of his 'right we need to do.....' moments, he has these a lot but they don't tend to come to much. This week he's decided we'll get the boys rooms finished and get the house in general sorted, I have a feeling he wants to invite his family over, so I might have to just go out everyday and avoid doing it so they don't have to visit....sorry awfully mean but grrrr I hate feeling uncomfortable in my own home which is how I feel when they visit. Anyway, the boys rooms definately need sorting, a 247 fling minimum is needed, DSs beds need stripping down completely and the frames cleaning etc. All this of course needs doing, aswell as the usual stuff, when we have an assignment due in 9 days and a CMA due in 16, hmm.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Finally finished all the packing (except for the cool bag) and DH has it all in the car. Should mean we just get up, shower, load kids and food (plus flasks) in the car and off we go.

    I'm not great at early starts so it will be a long day.

    Hugs to you all, especially those of you going through tough times.

    Tracey, Jill, Emmb, Vanilla, Sharon, Tinsel, Denise I've not seen any of you posting for a while so hoping you are all well.

    See you all next weekend, don't fly too hard Dusty x

    Dusty - sending you lots of lovely 'have a great time away' thoughts and vibes.
    Pigpen - hugs 'n stuff for your loss
    Lil-me - you'll cope - you always do - sending YOU big coping vibes
    Scared - well done on your filing - if you have an hour or two to spare, would you like to come do mine? Pretty please?

    And Pigpen - thank you for choosing the sitting room for tomorrow's tasks. It's a job and a half I need to do tomorrow anyway. I'm having the whole sash window and side window and bricks and things being taken out on Tuesday to be replaced with french doors so I need to clear the work area and find dustsheets etc. I'm scared :eek::eek::eek: I'm such a wuss when it comes to building works. I'm frightened once they start cutting through the bricks the whole house will fall down :eek::eek:

    I'm also scared that it will look horrible once it's done. I will miss my big sash - even though I daren't open it anymore in case the whole thing falls out of the frame ...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Dusty I was just thinking there are loads of the Flyladies missing in action, I also hope they are all ok. Have a fab holiday.

    soappie I am sure it'll be great once it's done. You'll just love cleaning dog snot off the french doors (all I seem to ever do!)

    Just waiting for the washer to finish so I can put another load in, looking for towbars while I am waiting, suppose we'll need that first (our bike rack and everything is for a tow bar so need one)
