Greenbee - A small fig tree is £9.99 plus delivery from crocus so I think I will order one now. Should do well on the south facing stone wall on the front of the house once I have cleared a space.

Good luck with DDs room Jinky. Most of our house used to look like that when I first signed up for Flying.

Anyone up fo a 10.45-11.15 HHC?

Valli.. they stay at his overnight or take responsibility for their own getting up... but then.. is it likely to be all hot air and he won't do it anyway?

Someone has buttered my kitchen floor and something smells rancid in the middle room so the beasts are tidying in there to find the pong

wm on, dw on, painted fireplace, looks fab!

seen a guy about window repair, got a quote for floor sanding.

DH had just been bitten by (sorry soappie) a springer spaniel who we know and is a nice dog. Just went to see the people and the dog stuck his head through the gate and bit him! Anyway, makes you realise that you have to be careful with dogs, and we love dogs, DH is soo shocked. It isn't a bad bite, but it broke the skin. Doggie got a smacking and sent to his kennel, but what a shock!

Valli

Heard you boss! I really don't see why I should have to be responsible for chivvying them so they're ready. I DO want them to have a good time - I'm not that much of a cow but when I took them, and their cousin to Blackpool I had their cousin stay here overnight both before and after as Valliland-Zoelikesjamland-Blackpool-Zoelikesjamland-Valliland would have been AWFUL
And it was partly in deference to their ages that I arranged our London travel for late morning - no getting up and panicking then!

Quillion - check your thread please

Morning all

Quillion what a lovely friend you are honey - I hope her moving goes well.
froddy the more I think about it I have kind of been doing the 101 thing with my list of jobs except I havent a time limit. Are you doing the MSE one or the original?

I hope this guy isn't objecting on religious grounds, as he gives us a bad name.
About to put wm on again, and get more baby things in the attic.

DH has had hot sweet tea, and is calming down.

Morning Tooties! Thanks. I am lucky that I get on with MIL (didn't always lol). They know all the carp we've gone thru this last year and they go to the same place in turkey all the time so they know the people there. I don't know how much its costing them but I have till june to save up about a grand (!!!) to keep us all for a fortnight!!!

Right apart from what I did last night, I fell asleep on the bloomin sofa so feel awful! Early night tonight for school!!! Got to get on and get this corner of the living room done for the electrician tomorrow. Was going to hoover the hallway but he will probably make loads of mess so not going to bother till he is done and away.

Speak to you all in a bit

((((((Hugs for all)))))
