  • Just popping in to say:

    Lady Liberty, I'm thinking of you, and I'm sure all will go well tomorrow. Virtual hand holding and big hugs :A

    Sorry EMB about the hamster, if the ground is too frozen to bury her, how about taking her to the vet? They will take her for you. I really liked the idea of planting snowdrops, when the weather is better you could plant something to remember her by.

    Love and hugs to all those feeling ill, especially GnB's LO. :A

    Can't remember who said their OH was having an op soon, but hope that's ok and goes well.

    Pigpen thanks for the pics, they are so gorgeous! You can really tell that Jacob is a boy can't you! They are so lovely, do you have one to spare? Send one over to me! :rotfl:

    Am enjoying relaxing at Mum's, although her neighbour had his TV on all night at full blast, it sounded like the TV was in our house :rolleyes: ! So far I have watched TV, eaten chocolate, watched TV, eaten crumpets with chocolate spread on, watched TV, come on here cos computer is next to radiator and I'm freezing, and now I'm worn out (from all hard work) so am going back to bed now! Feel a bit better today, but have organized with boss (who was a bit surprised) to take next week off, so am sure I will get properly better. Good thing I'm bank staff, not contract, so I can take time off at short notice. It's a hard life!!:j
    Mudbath, no false sense of security here I have seen all your messages, I'm sure you are mad!!! Hope you get your dog prob sorted. And yes I have been checking all messages with big gaps! Byeeeeee
    Byeeeeeee (wanders off to bed and the sound of snoring is soon heard)

    lunch out was nice, I only had a skinny muffin and a coffee as was not all that hungry after late breakfast. Starbucks full of mums with screaming kids, can't complain too much as I'm sure if I had kids i'd be one of them! Also picked up some shopping bits we needed including a chicken for a roast on Sunday.

    Flying wise, first load of washing now hung up, second load in machine ready to go tomorrow as it's not quite full yet.

    Am really mad as my boss just texted me on personal phone asking for figures her boss needs. I always feel that if someone is off, either on leave or sick, they're off and shouldn't be bothered like that.

    mudbath - I'll try them again later, I always wear quite thick socks anyway and they are a little loose at the back so I doubt I need the next size. I sometimes get this at the beginning with new shoes.

    Going to make the most of feeling a bit more awake and start a MrT online shop for next monday, which means meal planning first.

    Hello :wave:

    Messy Church is where we go once a month to do crafty things. We make models and do paintings of bible bits that we are learning about. It's really good as I see children from different schools and we all have tea together. Last time we did about creation and this time we did about Noah and the animals going in 2 by 2 :D

    Mummy has found this that gives you more info, she showed me how to do the link :D::D

    Have to get ready for school now.

    Byeeeeeeeee

    Thank you Miss A, and please thank mummy for the link.
