    Morning all

    Welcome Em586 and junior_j
    Welcome back louboutin

    Good luck with the dentist Keys - I'm sure you'll be fine and just think, once the tooth is out, the pain will be gone. But do take it easy afterwards

    Johnina - hope your hand isn't too painful today

    Triker - hope you're not too bad with the cold

    Winter's coming back according to the forecast with wintry showers this week. Have just heard on the radio it's snowing in Liphook - you'll probably get some Greenbee.

    I have to knuckle down this week. I have a fete meeting on Thursday so need to prep for that. Also, the first of the talks I'm giving is only about a month away now so I really need to get the talk organised. I need to focus I think.

    Have a great day everyone
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Morning All :hello:

    Am in again this week, thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie

    Keys Good luck with the dentist
    Johina ouch, hope your hand isn't too sore
    Greenbee hope your finger isn't too sore
    Its snowing here this morning :eek:. I am still not feeling 100% after my dose of the trots so I have called in sick, probably could have went but feel cheated of a weekend as I felt total carp and done sod all yesterday;)

    I have the docs today at 4.50 to discuss my latest scan for the cyst on my ovary, I am hoping it has gotten smaller but he did say it was still there (knew that anyway due to the pains I get:rotfl:)

    Am off to wake up DD for school, will have an HHC 9.15 - 9.45 when DH leaves to take DS to childminder.

    Hope the rest of you are well and had a nice weekend x

    Morning all

    Well haven't really been around last week but have been organising DS room so that I can get some bunk beds for his room.

    He is having a friend over tomorrow so good incentive to tidy up. I am going to replace clean out side with tidy up pile of pictures(children's drawing) then pop them in the side board. Hope that is ok as they have been there FAR too long.

    Have to goto the solicitor today to see about a divorce as DH/XH wants a divorce as his girlfriend has found out that she has terminal cancer :(. I know I get legal aid but need to make sure that I don't end up out of pocket as i need to think about the children and keeping a roof over their head.

    Good morning.

    Hope all the poorlies are feeling better this morning, ready for a new week of flying :D

    I have already put the WM on and the DW (from yesterday - oops :o); about to have a bath, then will do some flying and declutter some porridge before setting off at about 10ish for my appointment. Only 70 miles each way today, so should be back by teatime and then I can complete today's list this evening. Living room is relatively easy as I try to keep it clean and tidy anyway - we do need at least one place where we are not inundated with clutter :eek:

    Either I'm missing a bit from the airbed as there is no way that the pump fits, or I can't spot the air inlet. Chances of me working it out... minimal...

    Maybe if I leave it for the teenager he'll work it out :D

    ETA... worked it out... takes AGES!!!

    Its newton's fourth law, there is always a bit missing from the air bed.
