    Morning all

    Happy Birthday Taplady - 42 eh, I think I can just about remember that far back ;)

    Redruby - there are some very nasty people about, hope your DSis's dogs recover

    I'm with you Whatatwit - lets see a pic of the favours Moliere please

    (((hugs))) Candygirl, your dad's illness must be very stressful for you, I know how hard it is to watch someone you love go downhill and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it

    Sorry haven't been on for a little while. Still been clearing out mum's flat, nearly there now. Her lovely neighbour recommended me a local charity that is coming tomorrow and hopefully will take a fair chunk of her furniture away. Rang around nearly everyone I need to now. AOL tried to sell me a better package when I informed them of my mum's death, was not impressed. Am off to the bank today to tie up the loose ends of her account. Have a small pile of ironing to do when I get back. It will be too hot to do any housework when I get back ;) so will save all that for tomorrow and start early in the morning.

    Have a good day all

    Redruby - hope the dogs recover okay.

    Two extra kids again today so will probably have to think of something for them to do.
    Going to mum & dad's for tea but cooked a chicken last night so need to sort that out and freeze some of it.
    Other than that housework, ironing, etc

    Hope everyone has a good day

    happy birthday taplady.
    hope the dogs are better today, and poppyoscar my holiday was lovely, hope you have a good time on your holiday.

    yesterday got lots of washing done, no ironing!, food shopping, emptied the cases...
    today must make appointment for haircut, pick up prescription, see my friend, might go clothes shopping and must sit down and do some paperwork. tax credit form needs to be sent back as a priority. tonight steak pie or meatballs...will use slow cooker for which ever I decide to have.

    have a good day

    Morning all, Happy Birthday Taplady hope you have a good day.
    OH is ranting about his eggs being too hard boiled. He can get up earlier and make them his bloody self next time, fussy git!
    DS2 won't shut up, keeps crawling around and whinging/screaming. my best friend and sister freaked me out yesterday when we where playing with the kids, they suddenly went "oooh he's got a lump on his chest" (DS2)
    Well yes he has and it did worry me for a few hours but apparently it's just his Xiphoid Process, cartilage at the bottom of the sternum that eventually hardens and becomes bone. Just sticks out more on some people, especially children.
    Also they where panicking about his sacral dimple so the poor baby had people prodding his bum crease for ages and muttering about spina bifida, which it isn't but nice of them to make me paranoid!

    Morning all :wave:

    :bdaycake: Taplady

    Ruby, hope the dogs are OK, if anything happened to mine, I'd be distraught :o

    Lauren, I am green with envy, I would love chooks, but don't have anywhere to keep them.

    Candy, enjoy Mamma Mia, my friend went last night and said it was fantastic. Try to forget everything that's going on, and have a couple of hours fun

    Lovely day here, so got the washing pegged out. Work today, so am being lazy and have a ready meal for dinner

    Switched my gas and electric from BG yesterday, have gone with Scottish Power and have capped until the end of August 09, and have £62 back through Quidco :T

    Off for a look around the forums, catch you all later x
