    Sally - Glad you're back - hope the party goes well tomorrow - have you finished the cake yet?

    Lou - I have to look twice at that marg pot to see what it is - looks like wrinkly grey skin....blugh.

    Hello everyone else - brain dead so hugs if you need them

    Just cooked brekkie, was yummy. Going to bribe the kids to clean the car out, then bribe them some more to muck out their rooms, they're off to stay with my parents for 4 days next week.....bliss.

    Hi guys,
    Just waved my Mum off - had a nice few days just catching up and nattering. We introduced my 2 to Billy Connolly last night (my family are all from Glasgow way so lesson in Cultural Heritage and all that, haha). It's actually stopped raining here now - we had to park the car over the ford last night in case it flooded and she missed her bus...

    Hope everyone's having a good weekend!

    Morning
    Im ok Sammy...only a grey cloud hovering now, which I can cope with! :) Hope the move goes ok Sammy..sure you will have a few tears later. I have a few bits for the baby here, does she need a sling, carrier at all?
    Bunny, I want to go and see HP but I need to catch up on the other films first!
    Buffy, relax and enjoy your time off, well deserved and just think 6-7 weeks on SW over the summer and you could go back a new woman :)

    At work all day today boo hiss...needs must as I got my adjusted CTC/WTC yesterday, increase to a whole £80 every 4 weeks...I don't think its right I mean how can a family realistically live on £63.40 (job seekers) +£20 a week to pay all bills and buy food etc hey ho, bread and water!

    Are you sure thats right Sally......sounds too low to me....

    I am sure DD would love a sling/carrier thing....although she doesn't know it yet...:rotfl: I will use it for when I am minding my grandson...well I need to be able to type at the same time don't I:rotfl:
