    Evening all,

    Madcatgirl that's great news about your Dad :j.

    I've done hardly any flying since my last post. I picked Ds2 up from nursery and we took the courtesy car back :cry: . I really didn't want to give it back. Then Oh went to buy a new ( to him ) car which took hours:eek:. He can pick it up on Saturday. It still leaves me car less and OH starts his new job in a week so i won't even be able to borrow his anymore. Hopefully we'll be able to get me a little run around before then. Once we got back i had just enough time for a coffee and to bring the rabbits in before i had to take DS2 to a Birthday party.

    I'm currently packing Ebay parcels ready to post tomorrow. I also need to do some ironing because Ds1 needs clean uniform and if we get up at 7.55 again tomorrow like we did today we'll be in trouble if i have to iron too:rolleyes:.

  • Hi all,

    I haven't caught up with thread haven't done much flying either yet this week, we went to london for the day yesterday and today I was out shopping for DS fancy dress for children in need tomorrow!

    So as we have guests coming on sunday afternoon and I go to bible meetings every sunday, I will only have sat to do weeks worth of flying! Friday nights are my night off no matter what, I have some wine, wath some tv and catch up on here as DH is working!

    Right I need a reasonably early night for me as I have to be up in time to get DS ready for nursery, he is going as the milky bar kid, and using the children in need bandana which is spotty as the neckchief (spotty, yellow or red as the theme)! I've even lamenated some milkybar wrappers for his waistcoat pocket!

    Anyhoooooo! Night all. Will catch up tomorrow!

    'Neglected rooms'? That's all but the lounge this week. I'm SO looking forward to a job-application-free day tomorrow. Time to try to find a home (or not) for all the clutter I cleared out of the lounge earlier in the week. Probably more than five for the charity shop!

    000201DC.gif all . Been busy but been good and flying but just not had time to post.

    Education board are trying to shut down DS2 and DD's school so I have been glued to the computer trying to find grounds to argue to keep it open. Worked out so far that ours is eduationally on a par with all the other schools and 1 of the schools that they are saying the kids would use if ours shuts and they re allocate the boundries only has 4 places and we have 45 kids in that area that they would have to accomadate, plus ours is the only grade B building (good condition) they other schools a grade C & D (poor and very poor condition) considering that our building has been standing since 1911 and the other schools were built in the late 70's I think we are doing well. Any way wondering there............


    Toots huge hugs honey how are you doing?

    How are the rest of you all ? Being good I hope !!!!!!!!!

    I didn't BUT.. I could email everyone on the list only your addy and only you all the participants.. but emails addy's to everyone.. for e-cards you know..

    Would there be any objections?

    I have a stack of stamps somewhere from last year.. I could fling them in.. thinkety-think..

    Carlsberg... if she needs anything.. you know you only have to ask.. one of us here WILL have it.. we are all willing to help in any way we can.. sadly I cannot magic up loft conversions or winning lottery tickets.. but I bet someone here could.. :p. You knew what her decision was the moment she told you.. if she didn't want to keep it she either wouldn't have told you and 'gone it alone' or she would have already made the decision before seeing the dr. She was seeing how you would react and you being supportive has made her feel able to continue.. that is a good thing. She knows she can rely on you and not be judged or 'punished' and she has not been pressured into anything she didn't want. I wish her well and all of you.. hugs xxx

    I have decluttered a whole bag of white chocolate minstrel type things.. and I am now off to bed...
