    Hi Lula, Mr T is certainly keeping busy.

    He's starting to get feedback now but at that level, it's going to take a while :(

    Just keep all the positive vibes going as I am SURE the collective positivity of the MfW forum, has to help Mr T, Mr G and Froggy.

    Plus I need to make OPs :o

    Best wishes, Tilly x x

    Hi ATT, pull up a chair, I'll get the kettle on :)

    Thanks for the link and hopefully someone will be along to benefit.

    I'll pop over and check out what you've been up to today - any ironing during con calls?

    I actually ended up doing the ironing when we returned from walking the hounds - that's all down to you. Boy you were on a roll this morning :T

    Chair pulled up Tilly and I'm such an easy guest that I've brought my own food but the offer of putting the kettle on sounds good

    Apart from about 5 mins of ironing on a con call the rest was done before and after work. I think you and I are the only ones on here that like ironing :rotfl:

    Yes, I was on a roll this morning and I know you can relate to how good it feels when you start to bring order to chaos ;)

    Mind you, still lots of chaos to sort but it will all get done although I had hoped to get it all done this wee but had forgotten I'm away two days this week

    Regards

    Thanks Lula and Brizzle, life is certainly showing us different avenues at the moment.

    I'm normally an optimistic person but being really coupled with Mr Ts news knocked me for six. I'm really appreciating having my energy and drive back after feeling so under the weather. I'm probably a bit like someone on speed when I'm working full pelt :rotfl: in a good way though, I promise.

    Hi ATT, I LOVE order out of chaos and that's certainly one of my strongest work skills - that and the ability to rarely lose my sense of humour and motivation.

    Right, the kettle is on - builder's tea or Earl Grey? If it's the latter milk or lemon?

    I also have a good array of scones on offer and thanks to a lovely MFW chum, a beautiful selection of home made preserves.

    It's really weird not having the kids at home, as I have such a small amount of ironing - Mr T is creating 4 times the ironing I have. I think he's forgotten where the iron is kept though :o. Although I'd better keep quiet, otherwise he may want me to cut the lawn, wash the cars and cut the front hedge ;)

    Ooh, a hot drink, Earl Grey please but just as it is, no milk or lemon

    Scones too ay, and did you say a good array? In that case can I have a cherry scone AND a cheese scone AND a fruit scone please, that should round my curry off nicely, I'll leave the choice of preserve to you, I like em all but am particularly partial to apricot, cherry and blueberry

    I've finished my next batch of ironing though will some more tomorrow when next washing batch is totally dried. I'd keep schtum if I were you with Mr T, they all sound like blue jobs to me :rotfl:

    You're right re the weather, it's been raining non-stop here since the middle of the night and we've also had some thunder and lightening :eek:

    I don't mind ironing, too - good job, really with 6 of us - and me being one of those people who irons teatowels, muslins and the like.... :D:rotfl: I tend to do it in front of the tv after 9pm (trashy American crime stuff is usually on then:D:D:p)

    ATT and Greent,I'll just pop the kettle on again.

    Scones with apricot jam and strawberry and mint jam can be highly recommended :):):):):)
