    Morning all

    WE WON THE QUIZ!

    we won - the line - £5
    then- 4 corners £5
    then the Full House - well we got most right 20 out of 25 qs so another £10

    all in vouchers so my neice's BF has had them as his parents are coming to visit him this weekend he can take them for a meal!

    the answers go on a sheet with 25 circles randomly numbered - the answers are called out in random order but my sheet was the lucky one for the first two categories...some lucky guesses and we did it!

    DD is 14 today maybe baby ragz will be along to share her birthday...

      I did enjoy it, thankyou. And it happened to be in the freezer so was something bought a while ago which came into its own at the right time.

      And do you know, just after lunch today, I was so tired and was faced with the drive home that I called on several guardian angels to sit on my shoulder and watch over me for the rest of the day. If I'd known there was HM pea and ham soup just over the Severn bridge, I might just have turned right instead of left, paid the toll and turned up on your doorstep begging for a bowl of said ham and pea soup and a bed for the night...xx

      You would be more than welcome anytime and theres some left in the freezer now....I will keep it just in case of an emergency Soappie visit! :D

      Macpep- yes, it is different in Scotland.....I dont know why - like you, I had my first smear when I was 20 I think. But in England its 25, Im not sure what it is here in Wales. :confused:

      Flying....

      Kitchen swished,
      Living room tidied,
      cushion covers back on sofa cushions,
      TD fed,
      LO fed,
      Dog fed,
      breakfast dishes in sink to be done before I do to work,
      lifted floordrobe in my room
      and stripped the bed.

      Thats about as much as I can manage today before work. :o

      Im in for a long long busy day at work I know it - but Im hopefully coming right home after work with no detours, or jobs to do!!!!

      Crapola - I just remembered I need to go to the sorting office to pick up a letter which doesnt have enough postage on it!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad:
      :)Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying:)
