    Mind you, it's no bad thing that they're disinfecting the building anyway, but I think everyone's been over reacting today! Any sign of illness is automatically assumed to be SF!

    Heard on the radio tonight of a boy misdiagnosed and actually had a serve bladder infection which was not treated until late because no doctors wanted him in the surgery as they thought he had SF.

    Had a lovely time tidying the long border out the front. Need to get the kids in bed now for a bit of peace.

    Evening ladies,

    Happy Birthday SSL!

    Have skimmed the thread, you ladies like to talk! I'm pooped and cant remember what everyone has said:o Did see that Toots is home though which is great news:beer:

    LO's surgery went as well as expected, she is grumpy though as she is confined to her bed, she isnt allowed to stand at all. She is most unimpressed:rotfl:
    She should get out tomorrow hopefully.
    I need to go to bed i think...

    crafty how does the op only take 5 min to mop the kitchen floor, does she live in a doll's house?

    And i thought i was a saddo, i don't time myself lol, at least not yet anyways:rotfl:. In all honesty having had just a quick look at the thread i don't think she as OCD just what many of us are like, she needs to be a flylady and have 4 kids, i wonder if it will only take 2 minutes to hang out washing then :rotfl:. I remember the days it took no more than an hour to clean my house, then i kept breeding.:rolleyes:

    Anyways, Pretty perwease can i have a STAR all done for today.

    I am gonna have an hour looking through wedding stuff i may actually get on and get married by the end of the year then!


    Night ladies x


    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Glad to hear you're feeling better soappie! If your DD is travelling around, I hope she's isolated her boyfriend (our guidelines say stay 1 metre away and don't touch anything they touch) so that she isn't spreading germs around the neighbourhood! Hopefully he will get better once the pills kick in.

    She's pretty good at the handwashing and stuff - almost OCD one could say! I'm being v. careful though, even though I'm feeling better, I'm not going to go out tomorrow at all - except maybe for a quick turn of the cricket field with the dog when there's no-one else about.

  • Princess Jane, I totally sympathise with you on the men losing cheques thing, my DH did that a lot when we were first married and it took several shouting matches before he agreed to put cheques straight into his wallet and not his pocket where he thought they would be safe but evidently were not. His parents got involved too as he lost one of the cheques there, never to be seen again.

    well luckily the court have agreed to issue another cheque in a couple of days, thank god.

    I know not many people use cheques nowadays but !!!!!!.
