    Wow GnB, your size 12 trousers were huge! That’s fab! Well done!

    Thanks honey, they fitted me about 18 months ago:o Glad they dont anymore though. I fit comfortably into a size 10 and can get my 8's on and done up but they are a wee bit neat around the thighs. 6 years of rugby does not lend itself to lovely svelte thighs:rotfl:

    Oh and Plan B - we have a flicker of life in the engines - I spent yesterday writing two articles for an online freelance site and have just found out I've been accepted as a contributer :D It's not going to get me riches but it's a start and it'll be a show case for my writing work.....

    We have had a thunderstorm rolling round here for the last hour or so and it's really, really humid and keeps tipping down with rain. My gardener was due to come today but somehow, I think he might give it a miss....

    Thats great news! Well done you:T
    I love thunderstorms! We dont get nearly enough round this way.

    Toochoosey - that cake looks amazing, if i had just had a baby i would be really pleased to get something like that.

    Just having a cuppa before i take LO to school.

    Just text hubby about the MJ news, dont know if he knows yet, he is a huge fan. He couldnt afford tickets to the O2 gigs, kinda glad now. I had a £10 bet with him that all the gigs wouldnt be completed:eek: Guess i win in a morbid way:o

    Toots - you're supposed to be resting!

    Soappie - well done!

    Okay, so far this morning I have:

    Stripped DS's bed
    Washed the bedding
    HHI
    Cleared drainer
    Washed dishes
    Seen to animals
    Put bedding on the line
    Reloaded WM
    Fed Gemma
    Made sandwiches
    Fed me and the kids

    I think that's it - don't think I'll get anything else done before work although I will give the worksurface a quick wipeover.

    Mum and Dad's for tea tonight so I won't be doing much later.

    Hugs to all

    Morning All :hello:

    Thanks Dusty and Toots, it was a tough day. We had a very young one come in who turned out to be pregnant. It was devastating for her, and very sad for us.

    90% of the clients are straightforward. 5% are tricky, 5% are downright alarming. :eek: :eek:

    Anyway, I'm not in today, so I've got to rescue the pit that is my home! Yikes, now that is alarming!!!!

    Time to get those children ready for school.

    See you later
