Just rang up the hospital and talked to sister. Geoff is still v unwell. They will get the results of his blood tests later tonight. I will get them when I call in the morn. They are not sure if he has food poisioning as he still has high temps, diarohhea (sp) and bad headaches. His feace (sp) test won't come back for a few days. He's in the best place & he seemed a bit brighter when we talked.

Rzl Good luck with the appt tomorrow. I hope the place is what you are looking for.

Thanks for your kind words everyone about DGS & YS. :A

Snowy A little bird told me that it's your birthday soon. And you stretch the truth. I have a few years on you. I did start a bit earlier than you. Not planned mind you. :rolleyes:

Morning all.

PP good luck with the hospital.

Snowy my cat disappeared when we were on holiday and I broke my heart. 4.00am that morning I was worken being bitten on the nose because he was back and pleased to see me, my neighbour who had been feeding him hadn't seen him for a week. The little gits are like that but I know it's impossible not to worry.

Piglet & Icemaiden hope you finally got some sleep!

Kazonline, it'll all be ok!

Aussielass that's a great pic!

Scuzz I always feel like it's my birthday when I find that!

Ajax18 Heck that sounds like a long day! Hope you're not too exhausted at the end of it.

Brokenwings that's my biggest worry about walking our dog at the mo. Thank goodness he's ok and you must love him very much to get up that early to walk! p.s. have you a recipie for that Rhubarb meringue?

Pooky you're making us all jealous with your cool house.
Bargain Rzl that's a serious bargain!
Sounds like you're in for a lovely day Churchmouse.
Twink, I'd stay well away from the hoover today!

Bad morning for me already, I decided to start doing my bit for the environment and my pocket and cycling to work. If anyone is walking around the forest in Belfast keep an eye out for my front brakes because they pinged off in that general area LOL. Am also knackered because the gears don't work brilliantly and wouldn't change so I had to do most of the trip in top gear. Will consider perhaps spending a few quid on getting new parts today at lunch time.

will post the recipe for rhubarb meringue pie on the recipe thread later this afternoon.
takes a while to do from start to finish but is well worth it.

AussieLass - Hope your son gets better soon. My OH thought he had food poisining (sp) & it turned out to be a kidney stone

SnowyOwll - Fingers crossed for you my cat reguarly goes missing for a couple of days - but Im used to it and its quite normal here - hope he turns up soon.

So far 2 loads of washing down & on line. Rooms that needed hoovering done & floors washed. Kitchen and utility room wiped down.

Now in office loads of paperwork to do - keep being interupted by phone calls tho. Need to get done in here before this afternoon as it will be like an oven then.

Later have got to pop out to get some cash and and will pick up a couple of cooked chickens from morrisons and some salad stuff as DD has got a couple of friends round for tea.

Hope you all have a good day and stay cool.

Wingman

Hi Mrs Wingman here,

My name is Em and i'm 34, I hope to be posting more on this board, it really helps me stick to a budget and to the OS way of thinking:cool:

Had about 3 hours sleep last night, so i'm quite tired and the heat is ubearable already:eek: Have got some bits and bobs to do today, paint the porch, order some gravel from B & Q and go and find some cheap hanging baskets, to spruce up the front, we let the close down every year, so this year thought i'd make the effort;)

Brekkie - Toast and cereal
Lunch - Kids have got packed lunch, i'm having cheese spread on toast
Dinner - Chicken fajitas

Enjoy your day everyone xx

OK this bike thing really isn't saving me money! I've spent £25 on a helmet and lock, £20 on a pump and slime for tyres, now need to go out and buy a new brake and buy my co-worker something for doing all the work on it for nothing. It's going to need new tyres before the summer is out and then lights for it. I'm not happy!
