  • Yeah, you must be ;)

    Actually, DD sleepover was ok, some minor sleep issues (ie. air mattress cream crackered!) but ok otherwise...

    Give her big hugs and we will give her gift (and B's as well-which is still sitting on my dresser) when I see you next week.

    Morning everyone

    How lovely to start the day with some great news. Huge congratulations Bookie! I too am a habitual lurker but have been following the threads.

    Well, we are having a plumber over tonight to give us a quote for the mountain of work that needs doing. I think I might need one of those cushions for when he tells us the cost, like in the ad for the bank whose name I have forgotten... :o

  • My manager had booked today off and was told to come in for a meeting with everyone at the office with big boss from company that owns us...talk in the office is that they are closing the place down...wouldnt be surprised-so, possibly redudnacy AGAIN. Not too worried if they do, its a well known fact I hate the bloomin job but still unsettling.
