Morning ladies - sorry I am finding the thread tricky to keep up with at the moment so hugs to anyone I miss.

Pooh hugs for you and hubbie it is sad to loose a friend, I'm glad the remortgage got agreed though

Embb - Soappie is fine just very busy at the moment. I've given notice to move my ISA - I was going RBOS but I'll look at post office too - thanks

Deniseflower - love the horses, hormone thing but I'm defo at the horticulture stage (although always very hormonal too!)

Mudbath - thanks for the MBT advise - I've got different ones, long story, different branch - I now have the same as you but need to take the others back yet

Right I have to get on top of NCT stuff for the sale tomorrow so up to the loft I go.

Pigsback? have click throughs stopped, not had any in ages.

Oops... overslept. Good thing I'm working from home today:o WM on, DW emptied, breakfast eaten. Must get dressed soon as I have an leg wax appointment in an hour (if I take my blackberry with me, I can just keep working through it...!)

I'll have to do some serious tidying up of the study, as I can't get in there to work, and have currently had to relocate my laptop to the kitchen table - which is fine for odd hours but NOT for a whole day of work.

But the sun's shining, so I should get my washing dried on the line (oh good... more ironing :rolleyes: ), and might even sneak in a bit of time in the garden if the phone/mail are quiet (I have a presentation to write which I can always do over the weekend instead).

Valli - you were obviously a very enterprising teenager if you think you are old enough to be Polka's mother

Morning peeps, hope you're all ok. I can't make the meet up mentioned, but, I might be coming down on the 23rd of November, will have to confirm when DP speaks to the guys he's been travelling down with, if not it'll be January.

Bad nights sleep again, think possibly with stress of exam and other stuff, oh and the toothache. It's really cold here today, a bit sunny with showers mixed in so a right mixed bag, so toothache was murder this morning on the way to school and when walking the dogs. I need to dig DSs out some gloves, our hands were so cold today.

I'm currently downloading stuff I need onto the new laptop, inc mozilla, add ons for that, adobe, OU books etc so I can take it with me this weekend. Thinking best doing it now than trying to do it on my mobile BB usage.

I need to get packed up for tonight and try to straighten the house out before I go aswell. Going to be one of those days I think.

Mudbath

Not sure if this is going to work.

embb

Ooooh was it something good Mudders?

I've lost my get up and go......if someone finds it you can give it me back if you like....I'm not bothered.

greenbee

Finally got through to the building society to book my remortgage, and the rates have gone up since they quoted me.... now I have do do the maths all over again and I HATE maths!!!

Mudbath

Of course it was good Embb....it was a lovely picture of Poppy! :rotfl: I can't make it work though. List complete so i'm going to find everying in the house a place today....if there's no where for it then it's going to charity!

Speak later xx
