    Nope, just struggle to get the Landrover in them as it is too tall and rather big to manage small turning circles! I wonder if I can get into the ground floor at Meadowhall? Does anyone know if there are height barriers?

    There are height restrictions at Meadowhell but you should be fine with the Landrover as there are loads of Chelsea Tractors going in there all the time :rolleyes:

    Great pic Pigpen, they all look happy :)

    OK my MACAW......

    Hi Pigpen, cheers for that, relied this to OH, who thought as much.

    and how handsome is that GS of yours? Ah Bless.... Posting pics like that will give me ideas, that I really don't want! although oh had them last week as we where watching footage of Matthew & Brody from over two years ago, and he was not even a year in them and Brody still called herself "dodie" I was getting longing looks over the table the next day. I was like no not a chance, we have two........don't need any more

    but little ones are so cute.....no they don't stay cute that long...stop it...get a cat..landlord won't allow them......... .clean something quick......runs off in frantic search of a duster...............

    Evening all

    I am proud of myself as I managed to not take on any extra work with my boss being off - only to make sure all the partner agencies know the situation, but I've had some time freed up as my 2 handover meetings ahve been cancelled. I also told the boss I am hoping to finish a day earlier than I am suppossed to as I'm accruing toil this week (in early today). Nightmare journey home today (2.5 hours!) hopefully it's a one off. ready for bed now!
    .

    Yay! Go Rach :j:T

    Well done for avoiding extra work AND freeing up time to finish a day early. Hope it all comes to fruition nicely. Hope you don't have any more nightmare journeys.

    Piggers - little Jacob looks SOOOO alert - you're going to have eyes in the back of your head when they come home ....

    My brain is worn out. I have done an awful lot of researching and typing up today. I WILL get the back of this book broken in the next couple of weeks. Then I can start putting it properly together.

    I am now going to do the washing up after dinner.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

  • Good Evening,

    I am in this week! Haven't done any flying today. I've been nursing a teething baby, he's 13 months and he is cutting his teeth with such trauma. We had to cut our Weekend away short and came back Saturday night, we were only at the in-laws, but it meant travelling 200miles within 24hrs!!

    He gets really bad nappy rash, dodgy tummy, rubbing gums, grinding teeth, banging head, very clingy... With DS1 it didn't bother him at all, and he had 2 teeth, 4 teeth, and before I knew it a mouth full! Have only been doing the basic necessary things today and just sitting with the kids. Giving DS2 lots of cuddles, massage, bath etc...

    I'm gonna try and start tomorrow as the house is a tip, but take things easy and try and do to L2 so heres my list:

    Magnificent Monday ~ Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One
    Declutter the floors
    Declutter the flat surfaces inc. mantle.. even if you scoop it all into a box to deal with later!
    Level Two
    Vacuum the floors, stairs and sofas etc
    Wipe any marks off the sofas
    Dust and deweb!

    Terrible Tuesday ~ Master bedroom and Landing
    Level One

    strip the bedding and get it washed.. air the duvet
    Mattress vacuumed turned vacuumed other side and redress bed
    Level Two
    Deal with the floordrobe
    tidy the underbed stash of junk and miscellaneous gibble!! Rehome those dust mammoths!!
    Wipe all the doors and frames upstairs

    My List:
    Ring Tax Credits
    Cancel PPI
    Fill out DS1s school forms
    Fill out DS1s Football Club form
    Start collecting items for carboot sale

    OK I'm off to bed, and I'll check in tomorrw. I hope all is well - thanks for your continued support, and hugs to All

    Just thought I'd let you know that the seller has getting back in touch with us. They are going to send one to us and told us not to worry and they are going to deal with the courier themselves, OH is emailing back to see if they'd like the proof that he was at work that day, and to say thanks.... Brody will be happy, I feel relieved, but a bit .. I don't know, sad they are having to send another when it's the courier that's at fault, I do hope they sort it...on the other thread one replied that his 300 pound laptop had been left out side by a courier, and his signiture faked I'd of been like you 3$%3 3$& what the $3^%&*$ do you mean $*%$* has %^%( forged my sig the ^&*^wit.

    Any way night all, I will do the ironing tomorrow I promise
