    Valli explained the 'pseudonym' for you and Soappie - great Idea - no offence Soappie, but hope you don't have to use it much for obvious reasons :D

    No offence taken at all - I hope I don't have to use it much as well :rotfl:
    soappie what you up to today - havent seen much of you - are you ok? xx

    I'm fine Toots - just been busy writing - I now have four articles sent in and published. I must, though, start planning my days a bit more. It's all too easy to get up, start writing, go bathe, get dressed, do more writing and before you know the day is gone! Enjoy your chair!

    Hex - you've done really well going by those pictures
    Boddy - healing vibes for DDs friend who is in intensive care. And I love the story of Spooky Lukey
    Kazw - well done on the ebay sales!
    Welcome back TAG!

    Dusty (and others) update on BB: She seems fine in herself and had a lovely three hours outside with the gardener who came today but had another runny session about 3pm this afternoon - when I say runny, it really is liquid. I'm grateful I have a hose!

    She currently thinks she's in disgrace because I've fed the cats and not her yet. The kids decided to buy themselves chinese and ate it in front of her with had strict orders not to let her have any titbits. I've just cooked up some plain rice so when that's cooled I'll give it to her with a little bit of dried food and we'll see what happens.

    I'm about to cook my dinner which will be a braised salmon steak with salad and ~pause for drum role~ baby new potatoes grown in my own garden :D :T I have picked the first handful today.

    Then I'll need to make my bed before I can go and lie in it.... the sheets are beautifully dry.

    We are up and down to Eyemouth all the time as OH does a bit of Dj-ing in a lovely wee pub on the harbour. Every time we are there we say we'll go but have never managed it yet, so we promised we would next weekend. I'm looking forward to it. Just hope the weather is good then I can spend the rest of the weekend sitting on my backside on a lounger reading!!

    I was hoping you'd all had a nice quiet day :rolleyes: so it would be easy to catch up. Congratulations on all the flying that's been going on. Obviously Pigpen getting stars has made everyone try harder!

    I had loads to say but can't really remember it. The walk was great, although I did the last 5 miles very slowly with a friend who had sprained her ankle a few weeks ago and was finding it hard going. I've now eaten and caught up on the thread... so need to have a shower as I'm filthy. Then I think I'll go to bed :o. I have a massage booked for tomorrow lunchtime, so may do some flying beforehand if I can summon up the energy to move!

    Hugs all round... you've been great today and definitely deserve them!

    Oooooh all this talk of the hoppings has got me well jealous! I've been every year since I was a bairn, with parents and then with friends, but this year I'm down in Manchester.

    FFP - we're going to the treehouse at alnwick castle for my mum's birthday in a couple of weeks, i've been before and love it there.Hope you have a nice time there!

    Two Stars please!! Kitchen and bathroom have been done, despite being interupted by going to the cinema to see the Hangover.

    Living room and bedroom being attacked tomorrow after swimming, with binbags for charity shop, bin and taking home to parents.

    Love to everyone

    Yeah well don't expecct great things next week lol!!

    Actually.. next week I will be frantic as it is DD1's birthday next weekend and we are having family and DD1's friends over so it WILL be spicked and spanned by then!! I have the back room fairly reasonable.. or rather it is doable in a week now.. the girly room is a skip still but as very few people will be going in there it can stay that way.

    the boys have trashed their room already so that is their job for tomorrow afternoon.. :D

    The girls will be tidying the middle room because they have trashed that and I will be clearing the computer desk which is currently piled with papers which have been there a fair few months and need shifting.. actually that is only a 5 minute job I may do it in a moment... then mix more filler for my bedroom wall....

    I also have built a chairdrobe today in my room which I need to slide back into my cupboard.. and in the process I shall be clearing out some of my gear.. if I can.. it is all fairly newish stuff but.. hey ho.. it may have to go!!

    pigpen - your updated list is very impressive - not only have you done the daily lists (almost 5) but you been doing the selling challenge too - well done!
    boddy I fancy going to see Alnwick castle - I have heard nice things about it.
    Jo - well done - tht was a big hurdle for you - I hope they do really well.
    Soappie yes but when the literay thoughts are flowing you have to take advantage. Hugs for BB - hope the dried stuff helps -rice is what i used to use on mine and steamed fish. Oooooooooh you lucky thing having your own new potatoes - congratulations - I bet they taste devine!
    greenbee - I was just going to ask about you and there you are - Congratulations on doing your walk - that is brilliant.
    well done carol for getting back on track.

    ok peeps I am going to go do the stars and then head for bed.

    Hope you all sleep well and dont have any noisy neighbours wakening you.

    love and hugs all round

    Toots did you say it was quiet without me!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    Sorry, i've not caught up at all. I went to take that with friends yesterday and had the best day out in ages....it was fantastic. I had been a bit nervous as I only knew one of the girls going but we all had a fabulous time. Anyone still to go ... it's BRILLIANT!!!:rotfl:

    Tonight we've been out to Pizza Express with our tesco club card deal vouchers - great three course meal for four with wine (apart from me - designated driver!) and didn't cost a penny! Made it taste so much better.

    Tootles...i'm a ONE STAR girl this week. Too warm....too busy.....too unfocused but i've had a great week so :p:D .

    Hope everyone's had a good week and those healthy vibes are winging their way to anyone who needs them.

    Hugs xx
