    Well done Rach's DH :)

    Sending speedy birthing vibes to piglet

    I'm going to forget about the curtains now until I'm ready to put them up and then I'll moan about having to iron them! He wouldn't blink about spending £50 on stuff to go fishing.

    AnWs_mum.. is it ok if my niece shares DH's birthday?

    A very quick post now I have caught up, had a good evening with my friend :) and some good memories. The yellow cake went down very well.

    Pigpen 22nd Jan is a mighty fine day for a birthday :D but so is 23rd as I suspect the lil bundle has decided to wait a bit longer! Hopeall goes well, will be looking out tomorrow night for the news.

    Off to bed, knackered for a change so hopefully should have a decent sleep.

    Thanks everyone for sharing DH's birthday with us :T:T:T

    Night all xx

    Morning all

    Dusty - that's a nice bit of sideways thinking - NN telling her own GP she's stressed about it. I'll mention that to her tonight. Thanks! Glad you're feeling a bit better
    Pigpen - hope to have good Aunty news when I get home.

    I doubt I'll be doing much flying when I get home. I suspect NN and I will be decluttering Gordon and chewing the fat.

    Rach - good luck with the presentation this evening.

    Have a lovely day people

  • Hi all,
    Not had a chance to catch up as first time on since yesterday morning... not even sure where I was up to so will have to check later when I get a chance...

    Hope everything went well for you yesterday A&W'sMum, I know these things are not easy, but I think you found a great way to handle it for you all... and A & W too - hope you enjoyed wearing all your yellow clothing and having your nails done

    How's the numbers going toot's? you still flying through them?

    Any news Pigpen? I'm sure I will find out once I've caught up, but if anyone can update? what about Jennybee too, anyone heard?

    Ohh, all the gossip I've missed out on...:D

    On the flying front, I did manage to do my bathroom before I went yesterday except for the floor and also didn't put out new towels and stuff, they're on the side ready to go in once the floor is done (you KNOW where hubby & DS 'hang' stuff don't you? :D )
    Haven't checked yet, but presume today is front room, but that is pretty much up-to-date as have been doing that every day (I NEED one nice room to relax in so I don't get stressed...) but will need a good going over next week when it comes round again, so today is catch up day for me.

    I'm in the middle of clearing the dining room table :j :j :j sorting all the DVD's and videos - we must have hundreds of empty cases????:confused: (OK, slight exaggeration there...:o ) Lots to Ebay and some to go back (we'll never watch half of them again, not even sure why we brought some in the first place...)

    Off to consultants with hubby in a bit, so see you all later... hugs to those that need them - you know who you are...:A

    Ohhh, and I'm about to have a :coffee: anyone want to join me?... :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
