Morning All

Lady L - thinking of you.

Gryfon - well done.

Haven't had a lot of sleep and I have developed a cough which isn't good! I have a practice this afternoon for our Christingle service tomorrow but I don't think I'll be doing any singing - I'll just supervise the kids!

Have a good day all

Good Morning all, its sooo cold here this morning I just want to climb back into bed.
Kids are arguing and whinging again this morning, think they are getting a bit excited about christmas... next week.... aaaarrgghhh!!!!!

Really need to get my backside into gear this week, house needs a good blitz so need to fit that in around my 3 normal shifts, and 3 overtime shifts at work. DP still has manflu so he'll be no good for atleast this week.

ARRGGHHH.... off to break up another fight... and they have only been up since 7am!!!!

Triker, if he'd caught him (it was last night, well 2am ish) he'd have clobbered him likely, literally threw a backhander at him. He has just steering locks etc in his car no weapons, sprays etc. The smart water might be an idea, but it's catching the toerags, nothings ever done, 2 of the lads have been stabbed in the last year and nothing was happened. His boss has called, lovely guy who worries a lot, think it'll not be long before he gets a screened cab. Funeral, that's why I have asked Dad to get in touch with him, go through the list they were given, they want £75 so that my cousin can see him, horrible how much these things cost.

Hugs for you and your OH.
£75 for your cousin to pay his respects :eek::eek:
OK it's over 20 years since I was involved in arranging a funeral (my mother) but I have never heard of having to pay to view the departed. Thought the policy was to have a certain period of time during which viewing was possible.
And if they asked for simple funeral (as per his wishes) don't see how they got to that price - sounds as if he kept adding in extras.

Lady L good luck
Gryfon - well done

Morning everyone and hugs around

Not sure if I'll get much done this week as the last week of term esp this one is always busy. Am hoping to get the house sorted fully beginning of next week when I'll be on holiday.
