    Rattus Rattus isnt pretty - where was the shovel then Wol? I told you to bash them over the head, its a quick n easy way to despatch them.:eek:

    I got kissed by some totty last night - a peck on the check that I wasnt expecting and I came over all of a fluster:o If only I was 20 years younger..sigh. He is relatively famous having been on Britains Got Talent and the only magician to get 3 yes votes - he showed the trick he performed for them (don't try this at home kids), he swallowed some needles and then a long piece of cotton and after gagging somewhat he managed to pull on the thread and out came all the needles that had now been threaded:eek:

    I am in the process of hatching another money making scheme as well as doing my other stuff. I am pleased to announce that the old profile (stop tittering numpty at the word old;)) is going to get an almighty push because I have been asked to do the FAQs for a national wedding mag that gets distributed at all the major fairs in the UK:cool: Now I am bricking it because I can't think of any questions (insert banned rolleyes smilie). This will bring in money but I am working on something else..I have a cunning plan:eek::rotfl:

    Am boggling this afternoon as I know that I havent spilt any coffee - I picked up some business cards from the coffee table and they were stuck together, my new lease which was waiting for me to sign it was lying on top and was neatly folded and yet the inside has huge coffee sploges on it..I certainly don't recall sploshing coffee everywhere..so I am wondering who did it? My lease looks tatty because it has huge brown splodges on it and I have now amended the date (landlord puts the wrong date and tells me to amend) and signed it so I will copy it and post it tomorrow.

    Hi Wol, sending you a PM now.

    Yup, i'm coming to the rave but i'm reserving the right not to dance as most men do :)
    Will be good to see everyone.

    Hope you, piggies and totty are all doing okay.
    Don't forget to use some suntan lotion in that heatwave you're having - if you walk around with a bottle, you may just be asked to put it some of your totty (like you've not already offered)

    Hi all
    Bad news is the build is now two weeks (and counting :eek:) behind schedule and I am a bit peeved :mad:

    Good news...(?) ....did a good samaraitan emergency dash for a guinea pig owner in London whose guinea hasn;t been eating for almost a week and poos had stopped...:eek:. Involved trip to Huntingon yesterday - worst day for traffic this year :mad:

    Finally got home at 9.15pm having been on the road most of the day. However the piggie (and owner) are now both going to make it :T

    Had a bit of a weepy this moring courtesy of no hormone patches and also lack of porgress this week on build :(:(:(:(

    In the garden this afterooon with piggies in the runs.......so lovely when
    a) the sun is out a
    b)it;s warm andI
    c) 'm being creative/produtive with the garden stuff

    Rave is still on - but timing of buil contract now at critical :eek:

    Hugs to all - thanx peeps :T:A:beer:

    Oooh it was rather late last night was;t it :o....I had been planning on going to bed early - but then I didn;t eat til 10pm, got caught up watching Muse at Glastonbury (not normally my cup of tea but they really put on an impressive show) and was then checking up on piggie patient progress (his mummy posts after midnight).

    Woke up this morning with a raging sore throat but I am not giving into some virus at this time as I have too much to do and at least the hormone patch has cut in and I am feeling much better about everything today :D

    So have mooched on the forums this morning while getting my first two cups of tea......(piggie patient is eating much better today and has started pooing :j:j.....yay - another little life saved) and am now showered with first cup of coffee in hand ready to start the day:cool:. First job.....washing up :o......(I can;t wait to get my dishwasher back - currently the washing machine is plumbed in to where it should be while they re-build the utility room)

    I am going to spend some time outside continuing to get the garden back into shape and mowing the lawns but then need to do a shedload of ironing and sort out the house so I have space to move. The decorator will need to use one of the upstairs bedrooms this week for his pasting table as the dining room floor needs to be laid so we have a logistical nighmare as the work in each room has backed up owing to the delays. It's been 7 weeks now and all I want is ONE ROOM FINISHED - but at the moment the whole house is in bedlam and I am still living out of the lounge. :(:(:(

    Top totty electrician came in last night to wire in the new oven - gave himself a shock - (which he recovered from quickly without the need for me to give mouth to mouth :() and then realised he couldn;t do the job as the socket grub screws were missing :mad:

    Good news - the barbecue and garden furniture is now ready for delivery :j

    Right off to do the washing up
