Hugs Triker

Toots didn't make visualisation, but am praying.

Dusty do you ever turn your aga down for the summer? We just have and its working on devon time at the moment!

No, never, it is the only means of cooking we have! Kitchen is off the side of the house so no room above. There are also 2 doors, one to the front garden and a stable door to the back, plus a window so we can vent the room quite well if necessary.

Dinner done, DW on, will need a reload. Kids playing out for 10 and then bathtime/revision time.

pigpen roll on friday then for DD1's return - hope she had a nice time and got over her sickness - I am sure she will be just as good a help when she gets back - has she moved into her own room now?

DD1 has always had her own teeny tiny room.. it is DD2 who is getting DS1's old room.. but I haven't had chance to get her in it yet what with everything else but it will be done once I've got college out of the way.

Evening everyone

Triker - big hugs on your upsetting news xx

Kazm - enjoy the perfume and the reunion

Welcome Paybacktime (and all other new people)

Boddy - glad your first visit went well.

Toots - glad you did the hair thing and that you're pleased with the result. Sending you enormous ebay result vibes to help you pay your unexpected bill.

I have spent the afternoon working on the book and the evening catching up with friends on the phone. I have a venison casserole in the oven for dinner which will be ready very soon (both kids are out so it's all for me )



Justamum - and Valli - just because something is a .org doesn't actually mean it's a charity, it could just be an organisation. The best way to check out if some org really is a charity is to go to http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ and search the register to see if they are there. ANYONE can take out a .org or .org.uk (I know, I have several!)

Triker hun.. big big hugs to you i know how attached you are to may of your young people and their families and know you will be very upset by this .. you know where I am if you need a shoulder an ear or some germs xxx.. Sadly these are one of the little wake up calls we get in life to remind us how precious our own loved ones are. Much love to you and yours and my thoughts will be with the family who have suffered such a tragic loss.

off to declutter some food down the throats of my monkeys then i'll be back to inflict tomorrows list on you all and get at least a small amount of work done!

Thanks, :kisses3: I'm ok, just frustrated that awful things happen to people who don't deserve it.......but hey, onwards goes the cycle of life.


I've got some time off thursday so would hope to have a bit of head space and see you then, obviously I'll bring garlic to ward off your germ warfare.:p

Feel a bit grot meself, getting awful hayfever, sneezing and v.v. itchy nose, sore throat and I walked head first into the corner of a shelf, on the wall at work today, so developing a nice bruise on my forehead.:o


Flying, made tea **note to self....erm why am I making tea when DD's 1 and 2 are on half term and OH was off today ** ate tea, cleared table, rolled some rolls to remoska them later.
