    greenbee - I'm in Kings Lynn but was brought up in Grimston a few miles away. Now work at Bircham. Do you have polydactily (SP) as well :rotfl:

    Luckily I'm only related to the natives by marriage (my uncle married into a local family)... so I don't have any physical evidence of where I'm from!

    Depending on how long you've been in Bircham, you may well know my dad, as he was the local GP until a few years ago. I'm a bit confused about where you might be working though... unless its at Bircham Newton, the village shop, the school, or the post office... the reason I left Norfolk is that there are no jobs (so congratulations on finding one!).

    I expect we both know lots of the same people ...

    Just found a recipe for Apple Bread & Butter Pudding, so going to make that minus the calvados cream, as it'll use up some of my cooking apples. If you want to see it:

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi all,

    Very little flying done today as i spent most of it at my Dads house. It was lovely to see them but i've got a sore arm from playing on the Wii:rolleyes:. I want one now:p. Ds2 had a Roary racing car track from them that i didn't let him get out whilst we were there as it would have taken up all the room. I said he could play with it when we got home. We didn't get back until 7 and he'd fallen asleep in the car so i was praying he'd stay asleep and not want it set up. He woke up as OH carried him :eek:in so i just quickly put on his pj's and put him in bed. Thankfully he went straight to sleep, i was dreading having to set it all up:rolleyes:. I'll have to do it tomorrow though.

    :rotfl: Yep I'm at Bircham Newton, its a trek out there every day but they pay stupid money for what I do. OH would know your Dad as he's a paramedic and was based at Hunstanton for about 12 years so that would have been in his patch. You'll have to PM the details as my mind has gone blank as to the GP's in that area (I used to work at the QE hospital for a few years so know quite a few by name!)

    Still havent shifted from here but better go now and assess whats happening downstairs and I really am going this time :rolleyes:

    Sorry went MIA after the HHC at 2pm but i have cleared all the ironing, put away all dried cleaned washing, shredded another 2 carrier bags worth of paperwork, emptied & reloaded the DW and played two games of monopoly.

    Currently chilling with the superman film and a glass of rose.

    I would like to thank all flyladies who sent christmas cards they arrived today, not sure how the post works here as toots received her christmas eve(I think) and she is only 25 miles away from here!!!

    Going to find my list and cross off/add on tomorrows bits.
