Seconded... Valli's already got through two, so I think she needs to give the rest of us a chance :rotfl:
OY
when I was keeping them two off the market...(not simultaneously of course) I was doing womanhood a MASSIVE favour. Esp. as no 1 was a 'bully' (and that's polite.)

So sorry for your sisters friend, I know a few friends who have been in fatal/near fatal accidents and my friend is a fireman so is often telling us of things that happen (cheery guy! ) but it really makes you think...
Oh, and I don't think you are belittling my accident at all, always take what you say as a good thing, not a personal dig...:D
You have a friend who is a FIREMAN?

Have you booked the tree surgeon yet (bats ball back to Greenbee)
anyway that was last weeks thread...water under the bridge and all that...
And I thought you were striving for peg perfection. Surely it's useful instructional material for wannabe flyladies...
... tree surgeon is probably out having a life, not sitting at home waiting for bookings on a Friday night. Whereas I'm about to head off for an early night (TWO HOURS EARLIER THAN NORMAL!!!) with my hot water bottles & book...
And I haven't even been able to have a G&T or a glass of vino as I had reflexology this morning and was told to drink lots of water & herbal tea and NO BOOZE :eek: ... I think that was only for today though...
Valli - PM'd you re. the finer points of Pigpen's cleaning materials list. It really depends on how keen you are to perfect your Excel skills0
