Right I'm going to get everyone sorted and then we'll be off!
If I get chance I might wrap some of DS's birthday present up while he's not here. It's less than 3 weeks to it so may as well get it out of the way!NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20

My middle name is 'nag nag nag' (according to my 'almost' DF) and I am not going to let you off with this one!!!
It is just as important as the smears - you must get it done - you and your family are very important and you would never live with yourself if anything happened to them because you hadnt changed the battery!!!
DO IT PLEASE !!!

Morning everyone.
Not long been in from night shift. Plan is to catch up on here nip to the shop then bed.
As much as I love my DD I could thump her at times. Last year she got letters from debt collecting agencies. To do with catalogue debts from years ago. Got her sorted with a very good debt awareness ageny here. Then yesterday another letter. Have told her to get back in touch with agency. They are threating to send baliffs. Part of me thinks I will just pay it off for her but she isnt going to learn. :mad:
I take it we are using the Yahoo site tomorrow. I accidently deleted the invite to the Facebook one.
Triker Have a great time on Saturday.
Holly Bet you are glad the painting is finished.
nicki Big hugs to you and your DD. Hope you had a peaceful night.
Soappie Another one here who likes planes and helicoptors. When Im at the hospital The big Sea King often lands. There is also the air ambulance helicoptor. Have a lovely day.
