    aww thanks lovely... *big hugs* dont think it would work though... cos loads things have changed but it keeps creeping back up? Then again i keep getting stories from weeks ago reappear on my "news" list since they switched to the new layout. I'll just keep ignoring it best i can. Afterall i still have to live in same house as him.. so guess its only small in comparison.

    *trundles off to tackle the pile of paperwork on dining table and shredding the stuff not needed... *

    Thanks! Think I have lost it today :rotfl: When the sirens go off though I shall remember and shut up! Big girl says she doesn't like the sirens as they're spooky, but it does make you stop and think. We have to have them tested each year as they're warning if the nuclear power station in France goes boom! Although the blimin quarry has them and you hear that every now and then which makes me wonder if something scary is happening :o

    Hmmm...big girl came in after a party, asked if she could go to a friends house till 4 and has run out again! I've told her she still has to do her list when she gets home though...mean mummy I am :D

    Have realised that I pay far too much House Contents insurance. So been looking around. Its quite scary for me as I hate changing things in case it goes wrong. Have e mailed Age Concern about theirs.

    Just ordered some x....s pressies on Quidco.

    Pigpen Hugs look after yourself.

    Johanne Hugs for you too. Have a very large bar of Double chocolate in front of me. Bought it for mum. But will it still be there tomorrow.
