    MS Diva - happy birthday, hope you are enjoying your day

    Pigpen - can you not get help with the cleaning on the insurance? Is it not part of getting it back to its' original state?
    Hope the school are now listening to you and doing something.

    Mudbath - wishing you a speedy recovery but take it easy

    Get well wishes to all other ill flypersons and their families

    OH was originally due home Thursday, then today, then not before Friday but no news from him yet with any updates only had 1 phone call in the last 10 days and he hasn't even read my e-mails from yesterday let alone replied to them. Think I best do a bit of tidying up just in case I get the 'I'm at the airport' call tomorrow. Food first though.
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board
  • awh hippy thats not so good - where is he working? yes I think it would be a good idea to get busy - you want the place to look nice and welcoming and you want to be able to have time with him without worrying about flying. You can do it!!!

    Peace will be mine

  • Good evening everyone :beer: I'm now ON HOLIDAY for 3 weeks :j :kisses: :grin: :starmod: :happylove :xmastree: :snow_laug :santa2: _party_ :footie: :dance: Can you see I'm excited ;) Cycling to and from work was hard in the wind and cold, so I'm hoping to sleep better tonight.

    Got back and DD has decided to apply to Art college after her GCSEs :eek: :eek: :eek: I thought she'd decided to do A-levels :confused: What's more, the form has to be at school tomorrow :eek: She also wanted to make butterfly buns to take to her Explorer Scout party tomorrow (so I made a batch of coffee buns and a sponge cake for us, while the oven was on :D ). DS then wandered in and asked if he could have buns for his Scout party. Guess I'll be baking tomorrow, too ;)
