    £2.50 for 2 hours.. and absolutely terrible.. They built loads of new buildings on the carpark space so there is hardly any space at all.. here is most parking in entrance 2 but that is where most people need to go...

    We had a fairy early appointment there recently (plastic surgery clinic) and there was no space at all.. OH had to wait outside in one of the emergency spaces.. they said no more than 30 minute stops.. thankfully we weren't much more than that.

    And gynae/maternity/womens/outpatients bit we parked right at the front because the car park at the back is ALWAYS chocka!

    Thanks Piggers, will let them know to set off earlier if poss. Hope you get a good night's sleep. Same to all tired/stressed/depressed. x

    Been a busy bee, managed to catch up re posts...its been said a couple of time for those without central heating the warm front system is not just for those on benefits, they do subsidised central heating systems...I earn too much too and don't get any benefits but was quoted £4000 for full central heating which is significantly lower than the £7000 others were quoted.:D

    Anyways.....re bras...I'm 34 HH and I'm not pregnant, just voluptuous :eek: and can never find my blinking size anywhere....:o

    Re Castle Hill...nightmare, I tend to pass it regularly morn, noon and night and its always chocker, unless you can walk from the localish streets which is a bit of a walk, I'd suggest getting there earlier if poss, bring plenty of change for the ticket machines.

    Rosepink....huggles hun, sounds like you've had a rough day. xxx

    Piggers, get some rest, reckon you're worn out from half term hun...glad you met up with your Mum, hope it went well. xx

    Morning lovely flyladies,

    Toots -smooch.gifBless you. Unfortunately apart from the one angry text after I had expressed my upset he has decided to ignore me and I haven't had the energy to try and sort it out yet.
    Rosepink - You deserve an extra squishy hugs.giffor today
    LadyL -love.gifLove and hugs as always honey.
    Jinkypinks - kiss.gifMorning scrubber! smile_tongue.gif
    Mumof2 - Big hugs for you too honey
    Carlsbergirl - Hope the elbow mends soon
    Natty - Hope you feel better soon and that the car passed its MOT
    Sandy and Miss H - huggles to both of you
    Lemanie - Well done to your daughter!
    Valli - how are you today?
    Tomato - they are all on a dresser that I cleared off, near the window as at night it gets cold on the windowsills, so I draw the long curtains. That way they stay warm at night but still get the sunlight during the day.
    Poppy - Did you help them fertilize? If they aren't around a lot of insects and don't get all that lovely pollen, then they do tend to just drop off! My indoor chillies I 'help' along with a paintbrush. The other reason they might fall off is being under-watered.

    I managed to pot up all my seeds and they are all in my ready made 'greenhouses'. (clear plastic freezer bags with the seed trays placed inside, blown up with a straw as I tie them closed so they are puffed up and keep my soon-to-be lil babies all warm and snug!) Probably sounds odd, but it works. I will just untie them every two or three days for watering. I planted chillies, peppers, tomatoes (upright and trailing), carrots, pumpkin, butternut squash, red onions and salad onions plus an assortment of flowers.

    The S.W lady had a cancellation and came to see us first thing yesterday (arranged on Monday afternoon). She wasn't here very long and seemed very efficient.. Anyway we could really use lots of positive vibes going out there into the universe while she talks about us and our needs and comes to a conclusion please?
    head%20cold.gifHope all the poorly flyladies feel better today, including me.

    Off to find my list.
