Separate individual names by a ; and you can send to at least 5 people in one go

I think that may apply to special people like you Pen Pen, but whenever I've tried it, it's told me to bog off..

ruthiejane - I'm in Connah's Quay, is that anywhere near you?

soappie - the garden's so small he's managing to patrol it really well - he'll let the doves and wood pigeons in but that's it and the front garden is usually occupied by next door's cat

There are other berry bushes around and we're near some woods but it must be getting really bad for the birds if we're seeing species that (in my case) we've never even heard of before!

ruthiejane breaking it down and sending it in daily chunks is a great idea but off the top of my head i think its not practical -
a) we had 45 new starts this week so I have sent 45 pm's - if I break it down then I would be doing 45pms for a few days:eek: my out box couldnt cope!!! and unfortunately you have to send them singly - there is no means (well at least for me) to send a group of pms
b) not everybody starts on the same day so i think I would get confused as to what i was sending to whom!!

but I will bear it in mind as its maybe something i could work round given time to think about it.

How about you send a new shorter PM, and then PM a list of who you have sent them to on to someone else. That person sends the second PM the next day and sends the list on to the next person who sends out the third PM the next day. Does that make sense? Share the workload a bit, but not actually increase it for you.

Toots - just wanted to send you a huge hug. I appreciate just what a huge task the stars must be atm.

Thursday - those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms


All done please Toots

(I feel like I am shouting, and pushing my luck - which just isn't me )

That's because you don't think anyone will believe you :p

Toots have a very big hug, a virtual glass of wine and bar of chocolate to go with jinky's flowers, and potter round for a bit before heading off for an early night with a hot water bottle and a good book.

toots ((hugs)) I know you must get fed up of fuss, but we do care about you x

Agreed greenbee if you're going to get your car stuck it's a hazard, dragged so many out this week. Our councils advised people needed to drive on the roads to help salt work however so it depends which way it's looked at, if noone drives the salt won't work. They said people should go about their normal lives but with due care necessary. Never going to be an easy right/wrong way but yes plans need to be made. I actually prefer the boys being at home, I'm sad like that but they enjoy the routine, the local kids haven't been an issue as we've had this for weeks and I think they are fed up now. There has been a few accidents on the back field, had to help an ambulance and medic car out with one of them. They sent a plough round the street afterwards so must have been a complaint as no other side streets were done. We always allowed a small amount for my DP not working, he's gone in this week but been so quiet he's ended up with less than minimum wage for his risk (but people are moaning to council there wasn't enough taxis out last week so the TDA had to ensure was some). Starting the year over £1000 down so far isn't fun and if this is a sign of winters to come I need some serious changes in the way we prepare for quiet times.

Anyway, I've had enough of talking about snow, especially as it's now cloudy outside here it comes again. We're on call tonight with response service apart from when he needs to get the person to the airport so no drinkies allowed, I don't normally care but when I can't have one why does it bother me? Madness. He's gone to bed now, as he had to open the centre at 9,30am he's worn out, he's getting up at 10pm for tea then I'll go to bed and he can stay up after the airport run (or just doze on sofa) incase we are needed. That way at least one of us has had sleep and can do anything needed. I am really pleased they just managed to sort a patient who needs kidney treatment to - from hospital for the next week (3 days) he lives in the dales and wouldn't have got his life preserving dialysis without it. Considering it's a completely voluntary service where people actually pay to volunteer and no expenses are covered, I find it amazing what is done.

Ok morning list for me

Check schools - see if they are open and if transport is on, take boys if it's on
Check neighbours before we leave, phone DPs Nana/Gran to make sure they are ok, so can collect essentials while we are out
Contact Dunelm re delivery date
Look online for tie backs
Clean mould off upstairs windows
Pigpen's kitchen list (if it's not the kitchen I will do last weeks)
Collect prescriptions
Laundry - probably 3-4 loads
Snow clearing
Clean animals out
Sort through one of those plastic crates
Finish trawling through financial mess
