    Evening everyone. Been working today and did not get in till 9pm. The only flying Ive done is tidy the living room and wash the kitchen floor beforeI went to work.
    Myself and a colleague have been out all day with one of the clients. It was foggy at first but red hot later. We went to Berwick then down though Alnwick past the castle. Then went to Seahouses for fish and chips.We also drove by the Cheviots. Im shattered tonight. Will have to catch up on theflying tomorrow.

    Carlsberggal.
    Huge hugs for you and DH.
    Vanilla Big big hugs for you and DH too. I hope you are getting some support.
    embb Good to see you back.
    Soappie Happy Birthday to your DS.

    What do you expect from a SCOTSMAN. An English gentleman would be far more polite....

    I'm still tired, but think that's probably due to lack of exercise - I walked to the school and back, but that's only a couple of thousand steps, so I'll be coming in well under my 12,000 average :o
    Hugs for you as you feel so tired, but I had to laugh that you think 12, 000 average is low, I'm struggling to get over 5, 000. 5, 398 so far today.

    Only if I can clean out the guinea pig and count the poos in that! (I've a feeling we're becoming sad....don't say 'what do you mean BECOMING!!!). I might also declutter stripes hair when I brush her:rotfl:xx

    Pigpen and Mudbath, I emptied my hole punch and resisted the temptation to count how many little white circles there were – I estimate between 1000-1500! I was tempted to count them tho! :rotfl:

    I’ve researched how to do accounts, found a great guide on the HMRC website, have set up a template and have done a little tiny bit of DH’s accounts. Really not in the mood for it but then will I ever be? LOL!

    Done the washing up and cleaned kitchen in an anti fly offensive – have been ordered to by text from my mum! I'm going to empty the kitchen bin as often as possible too, as Mum says her bin is full of maggots. :cool:

    Phizzimum I hate shopping too, I buy it all online ;)

    Well done with the mending Dusty, I love the make do and mend mentality. I was going to do that with my slippers but have now discovered another hole in the side (they already have holes in the toe which I was planning to patch) and I don’t think they are going to make it :o

    Carol, your hairdresser sounds fab! All those freebies


    Boddy, I am so jealous of your day. I’m going to have to persuade my mum to take us with her next time she goes on holiday to Northumberland. Berwick, Alnwick and Seahouses all in one day, bliss!

    This tennis match is a good un. The trouble is that DH still hasn't had his bath yet, and I'm ready for bed, my eyes are closing.

    Hugs Toots and Lady Liberty

    ETA: It's just ended, congratulations AM!

    Hellooooooooooo :wave: Special wave to SGT :hello: ;)



    Hi Hun, so nice to see you back..... :j

    I'm sort of in this week, frantically trying to get my paperwork & last few things sorted before I get on the ferry on Wednesday to go to Spain, arrive in Spain Friday & then have a 13 hour journey to my new 'home'!! Not sure if P&O have wifi, if they do & I can post I will drop you a quick update. Freecyclers still collecting stuff, in fact they will be collecting my bed on Wednesday morning, hopefully they will let me get out of it first :rotfl: TTFN
