    Pigpen you really are the mother hen aren’t you. Here you are, looking after all of our panic attacks and tantrums and look at you. Of course our prayers are with you and you will obviously be looked after 10 fold because such are the blessings you send to others-and wasn’t it you that said we all need a good blub every now and then?

    no.. YOU all need a good blub every now and then.. I am a robot and do not! It makes me rust!!!

    Is it something to do with your superlambanana hunting trip you did with DD?? Probably not, just a thought, just connected the sheep and lamb:o

    MO4.. Glad they caught them.. I hope they throw away the key!! Glad the locks are sorted too!! and the insurance company are being good to you!!

    My dads cousin was broken into 3 times in 2 months one year.. every time the insurance company replaced everything it happened again... she was a wreck and daren't leave the house for months.. the worst part for her was one of the dirty barstewards defecated on her bed one time and on the floor in her bedroom another time!! Though.. it gave substantial DNA evidence to give conclusive evidence it was him at least twice!! :beer: here's to throwing away the key!! Or at leats putting him in a cell with a VERY VERY laaaarrrggggeee hardened crim!!!

    Of course I don't mind.. I am big enough for us all but if anything should happen to this baby now I don't know if I would be enough for me let alone her too!! When it all turns out wonderful and healthy she will have you lot to thank.. :D .. We can work marvels!!

    But.. can I have some 'hop away' vibes for the cats fleas?? I have deflea'd the kitten and she is covered.. literally hopping!!

    Oh.. and after my mammoth deflea last night the 2 little ones came home with fleas today.. Tiddles had 3 and Jb had 11!! .. there is no way I missed that many last night.. DD2 had 1 but 1 I could miss..
