    WHY DYA WANNA KNOW?
    WHO ARE YOU?

    Trikes - well done on egg number two and hugs for the anniversary. What did you do with number one, and what will you do with number 2? Maybe the fact Mrs Hilda Eggdon has laid yesterday and today is a Sign. I believe in those things.....

    I dunno yet, I've put them in a pretty pot and keep looking at them.:happylove:rotfl:

    Thanks for the hugs. xx

    Greenbee Hows the stove? Have you lit it yet?

    Haven't lit it yet... I need to wait until I can have all the windows open as it will be very smelly the first time round! So probably sunday... (haven't made the final payment either... I'm waiting till I've lit it!)

    DW emptied and stuff put away. Remaining grubby stuff loaded into DW. Suppose I should go and make my hot water bottles and head off to bed as the house is cooling down. No rush tomorrow, as my first call isn't till 1pm, but if it isn't frosty in the morning I'll go in for 10am. I need to have a chat to a few people about the fact that I don't intend to go in much now its getting cold!

    See you all in the morning....

    Didnt manage to get on the computer after shopping trip yesterday and today the keyboard was kerput so couldnt catch up.

    Lazy day today recovering from yesterday so will fly tomorrow (well a short flight maybe :D) and hopefully catch up with the thread a bit as well.

    Thursday i have my first treatment and according to the ward sister who rang me today, it sounds like it wont take as long as thought and I might not have to have as many as first told either so fingers crossed.

    Hope everyone is ok and coping (I've only read the last few pages so hugs and coping vibes to carlsberg)

    See you all in morning
