    Afternoon all-at home with DS, he has the runs and has been sent home from pre-school/childminders. Work must think I am a skivver but hey ho, I don't care!

    1. DH wears pajamas to bed
    2. I can't make fairy cakes either
    3. DD-SOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo happy you're back-I had an issue at work with a bully. All osrted now once I mentioned the word 'bullying' strangely but a horrid situation noone the less.
    4. SRM, glad you got the money back.
    5. DH called me an Ice Queen last night. Nice huh?
    6. Luc ((hugs)) I found I felt better very quickly once I took the pills but I think a lot of it was because I had faced up to the situation.
    7. I am going to stay at Snags while we're at Leeds. DH has pointed out it will probably cost near on £200 once we pay for the room etc and we don't have that money right now-but we'll come see you all in the hotel on the Sat.
    8. Sammy, sorry you feel like poo.
    9. I have got a new boiler and cavity wall insulation as of today.
    10. Sal-kick the lazy git into touch. sorry, having been made redundant twice last year, I know he can get a job-he just has to get off his arris.
    11. Sal again-hope DD feels better xx

    Sal, I think it will take you about 5 hours.

    Leeds is 2 hours from mine and it took me about 3 to get to Dorset the last time I drove it...

    poo £235 for flights...think petrol will actually cost me £80 and then £20 for food so looks like driving it is...must get AA cover for my banger!

    I can give buffy a lift back from leeds to birmingham then I will veer off and go west country.
