Congratulations Ragz! Welcone to the world little Abigail x

((hugs)) for those who need/want one

Just popping in so you know I am still here......ish....Busy even with less meetings (still ended up with one) more appointments and more getting things done so I can't moan too much. Touch of the dormouse which is probably because the week is slower. Best go, got chocolate brownies in the oven (yes I am getting better being more OS full dinner too with more left overs meats I found in the freezer and bendy veg)

I have come to the conclusion that I need a free food processor (none of my resolutions will allow the purchase of one!!) have tried hinting at NSNDH but I actually don't think he knows what a food processor is, so just looks bewildered.

Why not try Freecycle in your area?

Mumof2 are you thinking of learning to train people to sing, or to sign? I’m confused, at first I thought you meant signing, like in sign language, but then you mention a singing voice

No, it was teaching baby signing to mums and their babies 6-18 months old - you do this by singing songs and doing the signs at the same time - that way the babies enjoy the singing (in theory ) and the mums learn the signs. Anyhow, not going to pursue it now - sorry to confuse you!

Pigpen, how can you sleep tonight - you should be wracked with guilt at giving us such a horrible horrible list!!!! (only joking!)

OK, really am off to bed now ...

I haven't managed to fly yet this week - but am off work tomorrow so hopefully will get lots of flyign done.

Hugs to all in need and have a good nights sleep one and all:)
