apologies dusty i knew it was someone on here and I've seen pigpen use the term too!
Well dh has cheered up a bit and apologised to me. I'm still in bed with the lappy and should really get up and make some soup for lunch! I've deleted loads of emails, renewed my library books and browsed online for a bit. Need to nip out later for a couple of bits we need, will be good to get some air! We are going to a concert tonight with in laws, and to theirs for lunch tomorrow.

Change of plan - I am not going out - it is too windy I'll go at the end of the week so it looks like some wrapping and then some time in the RofDThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0

I am in a foul mood, variety of issues in the main to do with the family namely hubby and both daughters.
Just feeling a tad taken for granted in lots of areas....and I'm annoyed about it. Raaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Thank you hunnys - I'm ok really. Have had the BD on and off for a while (which is why I keep disappearing) but blood tests last week confirm I am anaemic again so this time I have to have IV treatment as I think its the only way it will pick up to a decent level.
Havent done a thing this week flying and for the last 2 days I've sat and watched telly so i think I'm covering the rest bit quite well. Better go get dressed now DH keeps coming up and looking at me as if to say are you going to do anything today :rotfl:

Triker, I've just seen a job lot of 108 thongs on ebay! various colours and sizes!! £12 or so.
Whole house is CLEAN and sorted, all stars please.
Ironing waiting to be done a bit later this afternoon ro tomorrow morning.
2 ebay parcels posted and other 5 sat here waiting to go, but not paid for yet, why is it people win and then don't pay for at least 6 days in one case?? I have sent them a reminder to see if that helps speed things along.
