    GnB and Pigpen, I told DH all the slug stories and he said that after eating a slug you couldn’t really complain about having to eat brussel sprouts! Everything would seem nice compared to a slug!

    One of my cats eats all theslugs in here!! I love brussels.. yummy!!

    valli - that is exactly why I only use dry cat food these days, cant stand maggots.
    Mudbath - Tiger plays happily with Ben (7 month old border collie) so Stripes would be fine. The confidence the kitten has is amazing which is why I had to have him.

    Downstairs is now respectabiggle, I would no longer have to blindfold visitors. Upstairs is not too bad - just need to hoover for todays star but it will have to wait probably till Friday now.

    Rose - if you are still hungry eat some fruit slowly. It is psychological! I am using my naughty points on a glass of white wine which I am off to drink in the bath.

    Have caught up with the thread whilst watching the football!

    feefeelalabelle - welcome

    holly - hugs for DS and for all your extended family too; glad they've got the ****** Another 2 lives wasted

    GnB - brilliant! Well done

    hex - well done on the weight loss

    kazm - well done for going

    bevan - thanks!

    The trip went well though it was a longish journey and I'm very sleepy now! Only one child out of the 48 went missing and that was only for 5 minutes, so not bad really. However, my arm is now more painful and stiff than it's been in a while so think I overdid it :o (and I didn't even go on any of the rides!!)

    Hideous day at work... I'm just trying to forget about it - although how they're supposed to fill in assessment forms for their selection pool based on competencies when there are no competencies listed in the role profile is beyond me :confused: interestingly some roles have them, some don't, so its a very inconsistent approach! They haven't even used the same template/format across the whole lot :mad:

    Jo - my curtains can't be washed so I hoover them withthe upholstery attachment

    rose - well done on the steps

    hex - well done on the weight loss. I was doing well until this week went pear-shaped. I think the stress is also probably helping me cling on to the weight!

    Tooch - that's the problem with buying a cheap printer, as the manufacturers make their money from the consumables. Also be aware that the new printer may not include cartridges (my brother came across this when he had the same dilemma about a month ago). The environmentally responsible thing to do is to keep the same printer and either buy new cartridges (not necessarily branded) or refill them.

    soappie - great news on the book. If I'm unemployed at any point I'll copy edit it for you if you want (I was a book editor in my previous career!)

    swinstie - don't bin your videos :eek: freecycle or recycle

    well done GnB - it just shows that slugs are good for your brain ;)

    valli - can you ship DS off to his dad's to mope there :D or are the hugs adequate compensation ;)

    kazm - if I'm good... and I'm in Norfolk at the right time can I come to your meet too? I'd only be up the road from you and Quillion :D

    I've done some washing up, yay for me! :T LOL! I'm so not in the mood for doing anything at all, just want to veg!

    Big hugs Kaz, sounds like all the emotion and stress of the last few days, plus the sleepless night, all caught up with you today. Hope you feel a bit better having had a good cry xx

    Soappie it wasn’t really a nosebleed. It was a really tiny amount and it was just when I blew my nose in the morning and sometimes later in the day. Bit weird. It’s more or less stopped now. I will go to the GP tho as my headaches are annoying me – painkillers are having absolutely no effect. I will ring and make an appointment in the morning. I feel very sinusy so maybe it does need checking. Thanks for nagging me, I need it! I would just have left it if you hadn’t mentioned it again.

    Frodders, well done with the trip! That sounds exhausting!

    SGT, ooh exciting times! What exactly do you have up for grabs? My ears !!!!! up when I hear of people giving things away! ETA: they've censored me! LOL! Think of what a dog's ears do when you mention walkies, or biscuits and you will know what I mean! Or the end of a pin
