    Why have they chosen Coventry? I hope it's all going well for them, and I'm sure they'll be on the phone lots. They'll still need you (I bet they appreciate you more when you aren't around!)

    I now have DW salt... but it's still cold and miserable here, so I really don't feel like doing anything :o

    It is the only place with a vacancy at an assessment unit

    I'm sorry. I must behave. I realise that those of you who have not seen what I saw this morning when googling won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

    Might have another HHC in a while but right now I have some cooking to do - minced lamb and veg to turn into a filling for a Teviot pie for tomorrow's dinner, and some apples and blackberries to make a crumble filling from. Back in a while!

    Lady-L - Nice neighbour and I are planning a week on the Isle of Wight in May with Beffy Boo. I've found somewhere looking promising and have left a message on the answerphone - hopefully they'll call me back soon.

    Toots - I've been a VERY good girl. I have spent all day flying and have now earned FIVE stars please. The Friday thing - I've just mucked out the utility area and washed the floor.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    :T You will be addicted, I have lost many hours on FarmTown recently :rotfl:

    Its all a mystery to me! I've been registered on there for nearly 2 years & still have no idea how to add or invite friends without it emailing everyone in my email address book which I definately don't want it to be doing!...I have to wait for people to add me then reply! That might explain why I'm pretty much a facebook billy-no mates!!

    Priest has been, he was lovely. We sat at the kitchen table and planned the service with kids arriving home from football full of match reports and covered in mud. They all said how nice he was and he chatted to them about them and their interests.
    I am pleased he was nice and good with the children Dusty I am sure he will do a lovely service for your Nan. When is the funeral?
