    Anyway as a male primary teacher I am used to bantering with women so I am looking forward to becoming more involved on this thread (in between the cooking and cleaning) although I do have to say that !!!!!! van Dyke does nothing for me lol :D

    Oven is going now and then will be off to skittles so will be back later

    Phil x

    Well you may just survive here then!! .. and why do you manke bantering with women sound like a bad thing? Some people thrive on it!!! :p

    All catched up ;):p

    benjacksmum, savvymummy, elly2, sunday_girl - welcome

    wendy - hugs

    embb and Dusty - hugs for poorlies

    twinmummy - I do 1/3 Stardrops, 1/3 water, 1/3 white vinegar in a spray bottle

    newby - hugs; you did really well today

    phil - there are several teachers on here and I'm sure most of us can sympathise in some way with the stresses of the job. You sound like you are working towards a more positive attitude. I know what it's like to want to hide away (I'm like that a lot!) and have depression too.

    flower - hugs

    emily - hello :D

    mof77 - can you say that serial killers actually do the deed themselves - might help him distinguish between them and the 'leaders' you mentioned. PM me if you want

    fedup - huge hugs; take it easy

    I need to parcel up a cross stitch sampler and then find a list for tomorrow.

    For those who want to copy and paste their lists and not lose the underlining....there's an easy way to do it:

    find your last list/post with list in
    hit 'quote'
    delete the
    at the beginning and [/ quote] at the end and Bob's your uncle

    fedupandskint - hugs, it never rains but it pours does it. take care
    dusty- hope you get the comp sorted. DH occasionally just formats our whole computers but it's a bit of an extreme solution and depends if you have all the software and drivers etc

    greenbee - i did actually meet DH online. Having always turned my nose up at online dating I realised that because of my job (which used to involve working most evenings and weekends) and the fact that I didn't have anywhere to meet people, I gave it a go. Had quite a few dates and you can actually screen people a bit first and you both know what you're there for. Met quite a few lovely blokes and just one who was a bit odd, but in no way dodgy or dangerous. I did use a Christian site and I'm the third of my good friends to marry someone off there! froddy - it might suit you.

    And no, I'm not a weirdo (soappie can testify to that...hopefully!)

    Hopefully DH will finish the studying soon, I am ready for 24 once WDYTYA has finished. bless him, he's working so hard at the moment. Just off to check my train times for the morning.

    rach - I'm WAY too much of a wimp to do online dating... I'd die of stress just thinking about meeting up with someone I'd never met all on my own :o

    .

    I certainly can. Rach is not a weirdo. She's quite a well strung together person really. Probably more strung together than me!

    And greenbee - I think DD and her bloke have sorted out the bed situation. There's mutterings of one coming from his parents or something so I would freecycle if I were you. If their other plans fall through then it won't be any fault of our own. Thank you again for the kind offer.

    Have just been doing an email exchange with DD. She emailed me to say she'd put some money in my account (I helped her with the deposit :rolleyes: ). I emailed back and said I'd put two loo rolls in her basket of goodies. She was over the moon! It was on her mental list of things to do but had forgotten! We then discussed soap. So two bars of soap and a tube of toothpaste have been added too.

    But back to flying.
    Dinner done
    Hand washing up done
    Some stuff in the dishwasher which won't be put on until I can supervise.....

    Have a lovely night ladies and sleep well.
