    Julie - just seen there's one in London too, not that I'm averse to coming to Brum if i can get a cheap train!

    Our stroll around the block turned into coffee in St@rbucks and a top up shop at Sains, more money, but it was nice. Just had toast & peanut butter for lunch and am now going to watch last night's casualty before making a start on the roast.

    Grrr, just tried to go onto the nectar website and managed to lock my account thanks to forgetting password...and I don't even have a card to check the number to reset the password- just use my keyfob but the numbers have worn off!

    I've realised that after a couple of months on here I now have to deal with them properly! So my bedroom furniture has all been moved so I can hoover behind/underneath - I now have to wipe the skirting & mop the floor in one half, then go and do something else (maybe in the garden and get some sunshine) while it dries and then do the other half. So hopefully that'll be done by bedtime :rolleyes: And if I'm lucky I'll get a few other things done as well. Still, leaving it all to the weekend SHOULD mean that unless Pigpen changes the lists dramatically, I shouldn't have too much trouble keeping up next week...

    Well the house looks a lot better! Though last night I did nothing but make a website for our sandwich shop (must stop saying sammiches), still got loads to do with it, but the doamian name is up and running (for free, bless you quidco for yoru £2.50 cahsback and microsoft office for your free domain name and website builder and what not).

    And LOL at Pigpen doing electron arrangements all neat and tidy! My notes are a MESS! I need to start typing them up.

    Well we want a link to yoru website... so we can check your spellings lol... and what is wrong with drawing my things all pretty?? I LOVE homework.. well.. I do until I get the 1500 word essay tomorrow!

    Well you just never know with me!! lol you know which rooms are involved and basically which tasks are involved so you can always use this weeks list next week to do the rooms you want to do on the days you want.. I know a few people do that.

    I am run off my feet until Friday afternoon so I doubt I'll be getting much done and know that next weekend will be spent catching up!

    Hello!
    Hugs to all. No flying here because we're the very, very, very proud and happy owners of Poppy. She is adorable. She loves cuddles. She gets on well with our old puppy dog. She is prettier than I could ever have imagined. She's fast asleep in her bed next to our other dog. She was actually in a shed for four months and rescued two weeks ago so that's the first time she had a collar and lead on. When they found her she was yellow and black! It makes me mad but she's ok now so that's what matters. I've got a massive grin on my face. xx
  • Oh Mudbath thats wonderful news - a huge welcome hug for Poppy (lovely name) - I am sure she will settlein well when she realises that she is so loved and wnated. I am sooooooooooooo happy for you all.

    :T :T :T :T :T :T :T

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
