    Morning everyone.
    Was up early as I couldnt sleep. Im at my voluntary job later and meeting mum there with carer as she has an appointment with ENT clinic. That should be fun as I doubt she will let them look at her nose. Could I please have some positive vibes for one of my fellow volunteers who is very ill on HDU. Thanks. Nipping out now to arrange to get DDs carpet fitted.

    Hugs for everyone specially Toots Lady L and Diva.

  • Pigpen - Did you send those BD's down to Cornwall, because they arrived here last night with a vegence, I ended up feeling very sorry for myself, crying on the phone to BF and drank 1/2 bottle of brandy (I don't normally drink!) I now have a headache from hell, sore eyes and feel carp. Absolutely no flying done, can't focus. PLEASE don't send them down again:)
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

    done to 502

    No problem FFP - its done!

    Tooch - what about Miss T yesterday - does she get her award?

    Yes please Toots, she was very good at the hairdressers and was good when I had to do her hair again!!!!! She was in bed by 6:30 and telly off at 8 with minimal complaining, so all in all a good day. Today was off to a good start as well as I had to wash her hair, twice as soon as she got out of bed and we were still in school on time.

    I went to see the school secretary to tell about the lice(just eggs so hopefully caught in time:)) Would normally see the teacher but last time I did that and went up at lunchtime, DD was crying, saying that a few of the kids were picking on her "You got nits ner, ner" etc etc!!!!! So thought I would just tell the sec to send out letters/texts.

    Enough babblng from me.....must go [STRIKE]fly[/STRIKE] flutter.......


    ETA School text just through!!!!! She's good!!! ETA and again in welsh!!!

    Really going now........
