    Hugs again for you Pigpen - you really are having a week of it!

    Hugs for Tag - hope my e-mail arrived in time this morning, and that it went ok.

    Michelle - really love the cake, DS2 says 'I want that' - is that the lakeland tin? I really want one but it is a lot of money. Is it easy to use?

    Hello JillD, good to see you back.

    Since getting home from work I have emptied and filled the DW, emptied the WM into the TD, cleaned out the chicken shed and s&s'd the kitchen. I must do some more tonight but DH is away in Glasgow overnight.... Boys have been fed at holiday club so just require sandwiches for tea. I usually end up eating toast when on my own but thought I might have a nice cake binge and not bother with tea. Any suggestions - I have lots of chocolate and eggs but no cream. Brownies? (and I wonder why I am getting fatter and get colds all the time.......)

  • OMG pigpen everything pales compared to your day !!!! I dont know how you are still capable of typing - I would be a wreck by now.....dont know what to say.....sorry and/or congratulations.......I dont expect the prospect of being a granny is an exciting thought at this stage .......how old are they???? OMG another person in your house ....yikes.... they are going to have to help....all...of them! And hugs to your Stepdad and MUm they must be upset/shocked especially if it was an accident.
    I think you need a drink........

    Blimey Pigpen you and your's don't do things by halves do you! Sounds like you could do with a HUGE HUG and copious amounts of vodka. I shouldn't get out of bed tomorrow if I were you.
