    Thanks Bunny, good shot from 90 miles:D

    Thought DS had pig flu last night, but is apparently Man-flu and as his GF has been sent home from work with a cough he is miraculously OK to get on his motorbike and go see her!

    ...given me a good idea for a sign for the door tonight though. Along the lines of '..... Off, Swine Flu Containment Area':D

    Got friends round tonight for Hot Chilli and plenty wine so really cant be bothered with Halloween

    Morning everyone :hello:

    No party for me, but the kids are busy carving their pumpkins - the house stinks of it. We'll put them in the window tonight so all the local darlings know they can knock on for treats :T

    Other than that, I'll be catching up on chores, then HM lasagne and garlic bread for dinner followed by X Factor :T

    Back to work on Monday :rolleyes:

    DS and started to carve ours this morning.... until DS annouces that ir 'smells gusting' and wanders back to play with his train! So I was left sat on the kitchen floor, surrounded by gooey pumpkin (which does smell 'gusting'!) that even the dog won't eat! He looks good though :o

    We're just having the annual tea light crisis. I'm sure we've got some somewhere :confused: :rotfl::rotfl:

    I ended up using the citronella ones we didn't get to use on the summer :o

    Different house, exactly the same issues ehh Sarah. There'll be peeps all over the country searching for tea lights as we speak :rotfl:

    The kids have done a fab job on their pumpkins, and have even cleaned up after themselves :T

    Havent ever managed to put pics on here, but will put some on FB later and hopefully some kind clever soul will transfer them here for me :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi pepe :wave: I have a trucking question!!!!!!
    ...Linda xx
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
