    soappie - hope it works out, at least you could take the dog sometimes then. As for the other stuff, no comment :rofl:

    You know me too well Rach! :rotfl: Seriously Rach, hope you get your work issues resolved. I know what long commuting and internal politics is like and it's pants!

    See! It shows! Blood will out!

    Aye, ye can't dig oot those northern roots - they tap too deep. Eeehhh - it's black over Bill's Muthers! Any road up.....
    ..and as Rach says ***looks down*** doggie will benefit! Not all bad then...

    That's probably the only saving grace though, knowing my luck, as they needed my desk in my old office for one of the new starters, I'll be found a desk in a building where dogs aren't allowed!

    boddy hope you are ok, I'm still quite young ish but floor sitting to wrap presents (just doesn't work trying to do it at the table for me, same with the parcel packing today) and I often get stuck, scrambling to something to pull myself up on :o
    Michelle as long as it's sorted, even if it's because your DP fixed it, first person I thought of was you but did think you said you had got it sorted.
    nikki ((hugs))
    vivw I am sure you won't be too late for everyones lists, I think there is only one batch sent to me so far (I've offered for them all to come here and me send them out, for those who want to, noone has to). You could PM pigpen to be added on.
    AnWsMum ok you caught me out, I should have mentioned the £5 note in there, that was a guilty one, I'd spent £4 in £2 coins. Darn you for noticing :rotfl: I did mean nothing smaller :p Last tin included some £1 coins so was much easier to fill as we get loads of those.

    Wohooooo night out is back on, decided after all this DP can moan all he wants, I still am going and going to enjoy myself. Mam changed plans with her 'friend' sorry still not comfortable with it.

    Dogs hinting her bowl is empty, she rattles her name tag off it then nudges me, repeating until I take notice :rotfl:

    I need to find my list, do what I need to get done for the rest of the evening, I need to see if I can get myself into the hair dressers this week, I'd decided not to when plans got cancelled and my roots are !!!! EEEEEKKKK!!!!
