    No postie here yet but I have just had a very "special" delivery, my FIL has just called in with a present to make up for what happened to the flowers at the cemetry last week! bless him! it's a really lovely useful book about growing veg in containers with recipes as well :o How lovely is that, what a sweetie. He also told me he's out all weekend as usual lol, we never get to see him since MIL passed away as he's got so involved with his bowls club he's never in - not bad for nearly 85!
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    well i went to the sorting office and apparently not having a red card won't be a problem they still hadn't received the item back. So then I went to the doctors to pick up my prescription which I put in on Tuesday and they hadn't even got a record of it :mad: Luckily I don't need it tomorrow as I'll have to wait until Monday to pick it up now and that's if they've done it by then. Unsuccessful morning really!

    Lots of people all dressed up looking like they are going to a wedding in town! I'm assuming they're going to the races though :rolleyes:

    Hope all those that are going on holiday have a great time :)

    welcome to our forum and country competitions

    Have not read back, have not been around, not even passed a parcel today, concentrate on doing the comps up to sunday, which I have done, so my next job is to pass the parcels.

    How is everybody today,

    we had our easter egg raffle today at school, there were lots of kids buying tickets last minute, and there were loads of eggs donated, my daughter was running the event at the school for me, and will count how many were donated. School disco later!

    So how is everybody?

    Welcome to mse competitions :wave: hope you have lots of luck!

    Hope everyone else has caught up with comps before the big switch off!
    I haven't entered as many as I usually do, my ds is having major behavioural probs & I don't know what wrong with him. He's so aggressive & bullying his sisters (he's only 7!) Gonna try & get to the bottom of whats troubling him but I have dance comps with girls all wkend, hopefully it's just growing pains!
    Happy hols to those lucky ones jetting off! :)
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
