    Congratulations Bargainbird.

    Michelle - I was going to say earlier - why don't you leave Meadowhall until next week when the kids are back at school?

    Back from shopping so I'm going to do a HHC 4.45 - 5.15 - anyone joining me?

  • Hello all. I'm back from my weekend away. Count me in again.
    I've got visitors coming to stay on Wednesday and I'm not even scared. Three weeks ago, before I started learning to fly, the thought of visitors would have filled me with dread. But now I'm looking forward to it.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D

    :hello:to all the newbies and returnees!

    I'm sure I'm going to miss people out, but please forgive me, as I am very tired.

    summermoon - congrats on house!
    g&b - hope you feel better soon.
    the flylady meet - sounds like you all had a good time!
    toottifrutti - glad to hear that the bedroom is on the way and you are okay.

    I had another night up with DD, in considerable pain and distress, so a visit to the doctor's as soon as we could this morning. She has a urinary tract infection that has spread to the kidney - no wonder she is so ill. I am not very happy with the out of hours service, who should have picked up on the mention of back ache and sorted out a consultation earlier, and I'm even crosser with myself for waiting until Monday, rather than doing something about it over the weekend - even if she was better during the days. I'm here as she's asleep at the moment, finally stopped being sick, so the antibiotics and painkillers have a chance to work. Just checking every half an hour.

    I did the kitchen this morning in short bursts in between nursing and check ups - I have quite a lot of energy when I'm worried - displacement activity!

    Off to check again.
