hello everyone

have had a lovely couple of hours watching my nepew playing in mini rugby tournament - they only play 15 minute games so its quick and BRUTAL!!!! he got punched in the face but was ok.
His team usually do very well but alas not today - the other teams were physically MUCH bigger - taller and broader and JJ's team were being bulldozed! but they still enjoyed - well most of it!
It wasnt too cold but the wind was beginning to pick up when I left.

I also have study to do (and an assignment) so will think of you and pigpen and get down to it.

aunty crafty hello! I have probably asked you before but my memory is getting bad - what are you studying - is it OU?
natty thats is appalling treatment - keep pushing with your complaint - glad you can use Oh's BUPA - I hope they find a cause of your pain soon and get it sorted - REST!!!!!!!
LadyL enjoy your walk but dont go tooo far!
casleigh oh you poor thing - water is horrible to deal with - I hope the plumber gets there quick and sorts it properly this time -if the mattress is bad you could put some towells down on the base and turn the mattress over so the wet patches soak on to the towells - it will take the worst of it off - keep pulling out the wet towells and stuffing dry ones back in IYSWIM then you might be able to use a hairdryer if its not too bad.
jjef she maybe needs a different type of AB- hope DD feels better soon - from memory its a very tiring illness - go back to the doc if you are concerned.
Hello Jo - stop apologising honey - we are glad you are here again! hows the iron today - have you spoken to it yet!!!!
triker poor DD2 and you with all the cleaning up - confine her to her bed with a bucket - at least the mess will be in on e place!
kalojac sorry to hear your brood has been poorly - dont overdo it today - just get the basics done - you will catch up over next week.
froddy - even a photo of the broken bits and an idea of the size and the base marks - was it crested?

off to do some ebay

:hello: Hi everyone! I'm just catching up on the thread, starting on p.53. Have go to p.56 now, but wanted to say a few things
Emily, big big hugs to you. You are a really brave lady, and it sounds like your DH is a wonderful man. I'm glad you feel able to talk to us about what you've been through.

Hugs to Phil, Mrs Phil, Mof5 and DD, Grateful and everyone else

Jo, I like your style re BF. Sometimes men don't realise that they can't act like a single bloke when they are in a new relationship. My DH took a while for that to sink in! He soon cottoned on tho!

AnW's mum, your story reminded me of when I was younger and informed my parents that a lot of women became tits during the war! I couldn't work out why they laughed so much! I knew they were named after a small bird, but it's the Wrens!

I've done washing up today and s&s'd the kitchen. It's still looking good out there. Need to do lots of flying tomorrow as hardly did any last week and my inforced holiday is coming to an end soon.
Back to p.57 to do more catching up now!

Hi guys
A confession. My 2nd week as a flybaby and I have been awful. I forgot about it until Wednesday then I felt overwhelmed to catch up so I gave up!

I will be back with a vengance tomorrow and remember to start the list on a Monday. Hope I am forgiven!!

Question - we've got quite a small back garden and OH wants to create a shooting range in the back corner of it. I've told him that I don't want him to and he's sulking. Am I being unfair? I've told him that he can shoot at the ranges at his club but he says he wants to practice.

Anyone? I asked him if he was still sulking and he said he was ok, but didn't sound very convincing, and then said that he didn't have much choice really but to be ok.

i knew there was something else I meant to say sexymouse, I'd stick with your guns. Ignore it for a bit, he'll soon get over it!

ETA: just realised my inappropriate expression!!
