    Morning everyone.

    Im in again this week thanks for the list pigpen and hope you are feeling a bit better.

    Have rang DD this morning to see how she is. Think its hit her how serious a blood clot can be. She has to go to Social Security with proof she is ill and cant do her course this week or they will stop her money.

    Ive got an email to send then will crack on. Im going to make a shepherds pie and put that in to cook while Im busy. Night shift so bed for me this afternoon.

    Kitchen and bathroom s&sed.

    LadyL Thinking of you.
    rosepink Positive vibes for you.
    quillion Thanks for doing the stars.
    rach good luck for interview.
    Toots More healing vibes for you and big hugs.

    Thanks pigpen and Quillion for the list and star chart, I am trying to be in
    Triker, well done on the major cook off! For more 'Curry Queen recipes' this book is where they basically came from http://www.thecurrysecret.co.uk/ it's on amazon and occasionally ebay, think I paid about £4. Love it! ***Big hugs*** for you and the family, hoping Satan settles soon and the exams go well!
    Hugs for pigpen and toots
    :rotfl: @ penguins little penguin, awwww bless her haha
    LadyL we're all thinking of you x
    boddy, thinking of your DD, it can be so hard sometimes when something 'happens to you' just accepting it.

    Spent the last 15 minutes labelling DS2s camp stuff I have packed so far, not going bad actually, must find his sweater/necker/woggle which I think he's left in the car, needs it for Thursday then clean again by Friday....

    Dogs in at groomers at 10am so wander through the field to gather some extra mud before he goes I think. Need to do a lot today as it's our only day when DP and I are both here.

    Have a lovely day everyone
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning everyone :) I bet you all wondered where I had disappeared to after popping on Monday of last week and then going AWOL the rest of the week. No excuse I'm afraid just a major case of CBA's :o Did anyone miss me.. Although people could probably see me around the net either on Facebook or Twitter. Can someone please take Twitter away from me, I am addicted to it to the point that I don't get anything done now. I just can't drag myself away from it..help!! *My name is Natalie and I am a Twitter addict!*

    This week I really intend to get my rear into gear and actually do stuff, yeah where have you all heard that before. No honestly I really do want to get my house back .. lol. Although at the weekend DH and myself cleared both our spare rooms so that we can actually walk in there, hoover and generally tidy up. Although this was more of a necessary as I have Virgin Media coming on Saturday to install the new 50mb and I didn't want them going into DH's train room and not being able to find anything.. Oh and I also discovered that we don't have to have our old router plugged into the computer at the moment, it is wireless..doh!! Now how long have I had it plugged into DH's old computer for..lol So that has been recycled, or will be via Freecycle :)

    Vanilla Rhys is a darling, he is so gorgeous. Kind of makes me all broody, I wish I could have children but well as I can't wonder if DH will let me have one of my friends alsation puppies to go with our menagerie..:rotfl:
    Rose well done on the stars, you've done wonderfully hon. You should be so proud of yourself.:T
    Pigpen hope you are feeling better, and starting to get on the road to recovery now.
    Tag *hugs* hon.
    Toots, hurry back sweetie, we miss you. Get well soon, gentle hugs for you.
    Lady_Liberty sending you positive vibes, and hope that you get the results you want. *Hugs*
