    Morning All!
    Sunny here in Hastings. Seagulls started at 3am, but I managed to ignore them:rotfl:
    Actually slept last night, must have been the acupuncture. Waiting for a delivery this morning, then taking my Dad out to buy him some new clothes. He's lost so much weight, he's only eight and a half stone, and his clothes are hanging off him. He is eating, but not a lot.:o

    Moggins Congratulations!:T Really pleased for you!

    Hope you all have a good day.
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T
    A Bargain is only a bargain if you need it!

    LOL, the baby is due in February. It's still early days yet and at my age there's a lot that could go wrong but I feel really well and I'm looking after myself (no choice, I get nagged so much). It's a bit mad considering I will have two grandchildren older than this child but everyone is telling me that this baby is obviously meant to be and my friend has nicknamed it Rocky :)

    I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife :D Louise Brooks
    All will be well in the end. If it's not well, it's not the end.

    Sunnygirl - Best wishes to DS.

    Penny_Pincher - is your dog going to be called Martin by any chance?:D

    Twink- glad you and the family are ok.

    Moggins - Congratulations! Glad you are pleased about it. Best wishes to you, and good luck with the job.

    NPM and jayward - Hope you are feeling better xx

    Not sure what I'll be doing today apart from some hoovering! Need to pop into Lidl at some point.

    halight - Enjoy the scones! Which reminds me, thanks to whoever it was - redruby?- for mentioning the "ultimate scones" recipe - I'll have to have a look at that!
    tired mum - Hope all goes well with your car. Surely they wouldn't write it off for the sake of a respray? My heart really goes out to you, having such awful neighbours.

    Dinner is going to be roast chicken, then we can have chicken curry tomorrow!

    Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

    ivyleaf xx

    Moggins - congratulations, what a lovely surprise
