Went back to bed and had a good sleep. Missed the Christmas Lunch as I just wasnt up to it. I'm just going to phone work to report sick for tomorrow. I might try to brave the garage to get the toolbox so I can put the card holders up.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

PP I have had hens for nearly ten years and this is the first time we have had no eggs for two months. Any ideas? I was hoping to make lemon curd as gifts today.
We're nearly snowed in too - DS is still at school, so amybe he'll have to be snowed in there for 2 weeks :rotfl:
Hens - are they outside; that can send them off lay. How old are they - they may just be running downHow about their food - this can make a difference. HTH :A
While YOU were all busy virtuously flying Quillion and Mummyof5 finally got to meet me - and, more importantly I them.
We had :coffee: and a fabby chatty time...hope to do it again soon.
Sorry not to have been able to make it this time - if you do it again (especially if it's up closer to Sheffield) I'll try to join you all :T
Had a lovely time at my friend;'s but had to stay longer than expected as it was snowing so heavily :j She gave me a jar of jam and a jar of chutney :j I have 48 mince pies and a cake waiting to go in the oven :j

Just popping on to update you on the meeting with deputy head - it was fine in the end - did it straight after school - just a couple of amendments that the head wanted made on there and they needed to reprint and I had to re-write my comment cos of formatting - not due to content, so it's just waiting for head's approval before it's sent off to LEA. Must rush as have to get to Portsmouth in rush hour by 5.30pm and I'm cutting it fine!
Thanks to all who've looked out for me.

I've come to the conclusion that some people who cause immense harm to others never get their comeuppance.....and it makes me sick and tired of trying to be a decent human being when others allow these people to continously get away with it.

Hey all! Had a manic day today, but it's been a good one. My cold isn't letting up at all which is annoying.
Good news, paypal have lifted the hold on the money, apparently the ebay buyer was trying to pull a fast one and claim he didn't recieve the goods but thankfully I sent it RD!

Poohbear you put beans on the same plate as gravy??????????:eek::eek:
NP.. and I thought baked beans thing is gross too.. though.. may have to try it.. just in case it is delumptious!
Pigpen - how could you put the garage on the list????!!!! - how did you know we have a double garage & cant get any cars in it because of all the junk??? (half of which is MILs which I have been told I can't throw out) I promise we will tackle the garage after Christmas (when we have finished the boxroom....)
Because everyone complained about the Monday list being a killer.. and someone else suggested the attic for Friday.. and someone else said we could do the attic because theirs was empty but their garage was a state... sounded like requests to add them to me..
I'm fine.. my attic, though rammed is fairly neatly stacked.. and I don't have a garage..**Rant**
