OS diary, 20th April 07 (it's FRIDAY!!)

Hurray it's Friday! :j
The end of a grim week for me. I only w***ed 2 days this week but they were quite stressful. I have lots of very young children to teach at the moment (due to management decisions) and it's been exhausting. A succession of bad news on Wednesday didn't help but as they say' always look on the bright side of life'.
Tonight I'm going over the road to a girl's night (lots of food and wine) at one of my neighbour's, so DH is getting his and the kid's tea from the chippy. :rolleyes:

Oh, my other bit of news is that yesterday at playtime a rather large seagull flew over and did a really big c*** on my shoulder! :eek: The other staff were crying with laughter and told me it was lucky so I've got 3 lucky dips on tomorrow's lottery. It could have been worse...it could have landed on my head! See I told you...'always look on the bright side of life'
Have a good evening.

Well no sign of a nest so far, house isn't buzzing during day that I can hear (thanks for the info tim) but 3 more in today with windows and doors closed, so it's somewhere they are getting in. Scares me as my mate ended up with a nest in a cupboard she didn't use. Allergy being main concern, especially not knowing about the kids. On closer inspection of one, it may be bees, I am useless with bees etc, I need to find a bug expert and find out what they are, they are a more dark yellow than usualy wasps I have seen. Oh yuk making me shudder thinking about it.

Haven't had much chance to catch up with the thread. Been busy pulling kitchen apart (which now needs putting back together ) Hope evryones ok. That meat sounds cheap PP.

Was supposed to be going to a friends wedding tonight but don't feel up to it, still coughing what must be 3/4 weeks on, antibiotics finished and no better. GP said nothing more can do with that but has also put me on Xenical to help with the weight loss. I need to call them as it says to ring for details on what to eat and not to eat. Ewwww just read warnings, says can cause excess wind passing, oh heck!

Hope everyone who has been feeling down feels better now that it's the weekend. (((hugs to everyone))).

Just a quick post - I've emails to answer and a survey to do (apparently £5 for a forty minute one which is better than the so-called fifteen minute one I did yesterday for .50p which took longer because it wouldn't click on to the next page properly!:mad: :mad:

I am VERY disappointed because I waited for my usual Martin-fix at lunchtime; saved my sandwich specially to have lunch with him and he was only on Radio Two for about five minutes! Still, great advice as usual about all the complaints about British Gas but he's usually on for longer. Hopefully, he's busy finding more moneysavers for the rest of us!:money: :money:

Dinner tonight was lovely - Cajun Chicken turned out really well but DH did not like the couscous - he looked at it very suspiciously as I was dishing up! I said 'give it a chance!' and he did, and didn't like it - I did so I'll have to find a way of disguising it in the future!;)

Nite Rider - I meant to say earlier - congrats on your Premium Bond wins - that's three winners this week on our thread. Well done!:T :T

Catowen - I do hope you're feeling more up than down now.:A :A

Crazy - so glad you've been in touch with your dad! Good luck!:A :A

Well, I've probably forgotten someone. I have taken to writing a list when I read through the posts now because I can't always remember who said what.

I wonder if Math has got his ASBO yet?

Have a lovely Friday evening with no nightmares, a good night's sleep for all
us insomniacs and health, wealth and happiness for everyone!:j :j :beer: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Just popped in to say I hope you're feeling better, catowen ((((hugs)))

By the way, I loved what Shez said to cheer you up. Shez is one of those people who has a natural gift for making people smile

I got a parcel through today from Bravissimo - a couple of tops I bought in the sale. One of them was fab, looks gorgeous and is really comfy (Edited to say: it's this one, in Raspberry ). The other is a perfect fit but faulty :mad: it's this one but on mine, the black mesh is attached off-centre to the cream bit underneath, so it looks crap :mad: so will be returning it and see if it is second time lucky. I've been looking for a nice top, as I have a lovely black evening skirt and nothing nice to wear with it.

Anyway...

See you all tomorrow peeps :wave:

Edited again to say: Just saw that item on the news about the man from North London who cut part of his dog's ears off to make him look "harder" :mad::mad::mad::mad: What would possess anybody to do this to such a gorgeous dog (or any other dog for that matter?) :mad::mad::mad::mad:

(((Hugs))) to Kyle, no-one ever thinks their life is interesting enough, (well very few anyway and don't you find they tend to be the ones with the really boring lives?)
(((Hugs))) also to Rage in Eden, I'm sorry you were upset.

Not sure why but most people seem to be a little down or ill or both at the moment, it will pass though, sure as eggs is eggs

I had a new visitor today. Anyone got any idea what sort of parrot this is? (if it is a parrot at all) I've no idea. It's about the size of a kestrel.



it was fairly tame, thought not enough to let itself get captured, so I'm sure it is someone's pet. Can anyone suggest any organisations I could tell about it? I sure someone somewhere must be missing it.
