    Hi Guys,

    Just popped in quickly to see how Marru has gone on? And she still isn't sure :confused: So sweetheart take care and as Jo says do a test. I hope its the result you want? Big hugs and let us know as soon as you can please :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Jo so glad you are feeling better, keep well and stay safe. Big hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    On the tv programmes front: I loved Dear Dougal on the magic roundabout :D But I used to love Follyfoot Farm and Black Beauty. (Secretly wanted my own horse). Ah the good ole days :D Btw I have raided Mr Budgies retro sweethamper. These peardrops are ace.

    Ok must dash been to Spoons for Sunday Lunch I had a J20, Mr Budgie asked me if I wanted alcohol :eek: I looked at him, gave an exasperated sigh and said: "But I am on the 365 day challenge". Oh sorry he said. (Miss P its your 900 calorie korma all over again) ;)

    But on a serious note, Mr Budgie had a pint today, (He doesn't drink from one year to another). But I have been watchful and ..........................

    Well that is it just the one, it didn't make him want to go and get some cans to take home. NOW if I had, had a glass of wine then I would have purchased a bottle to bring home. So I am seeing a pattern he is quite happy with one drink, one drink is not enough for me.

    So Budgie is learning, don't have the first drink. (May not be rocket science, but its amazing how long it takes to realise it).

    Ok back later but Columbo is starting soon, I love him bless.

    Stay safe and warm
    Hugs Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hello,

    I have been in the town with DD. Went to Mr Mac, did some shopping in Marks, got early response kit from Boots hoping that it might do the trick just to come home to realise that my monthly appointment has started. I feel so embarrased, idiotic, foolish, stupid, etc etc :o:o:o:o:o:o I am not kind of person who gets into the flap like this for nothing so hey ho. One good thing came out of this. BF has been very clear that he wants kids and I have been very clear that I don't. Well now I do as I feel I have lost one even that there wasn't one to lose. I don't know if this makes sense. Going to have a little cry and then get on with all those tasks.

    ETA: will still stay AF thou...

    hi all, still in dressing gown, need a slanket! though am going to get dressed and sort the recycling out cos I'll have more mice outside than usual!

    Just read 4 pages for catch up and read that someone was going having some "mice pies" = all this talk of mice (mince pies of course)

    including today its 10AF for me. Last night was the worse struggle as went to the coop at 7pm. I thought about the trigger and it was boredom, I think the days are long as I've not been able to get to work since Monday. Anyway went home and got a bath but still didnt get to bed until 2am! Really need to set up my 10 week course than I'm doing with work stop me feeling bored. Been doing more silly applications on fb!

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend and pray the kids are in school tomorrow though its snowing/sleeting here now! :mad:
