    Without the aid of a safety net I have been intrepid and made it to Bristol and back and (sort of) navigated round it without the aid of a sad nav!:D Did 491.8 miles on my little bike which didnt put a hoof wrong! What a lovely part of the country!!! I went to Bristol Zoo and made friends with Fruit bats :cool: (such sweet faces) There were an awful lot of 'earth mummys' there who wore organic cotton and had kiddies called Tarkie and Joachim..... Scary.....:eek: And theres me slopping about.. Dear or dear...

    My trusty mp3 kept me company although I had a scary bit on the M4 after Reading (stopped for a full fat hot chocolate:eek:) with War of the Worlds playing when theres this HUGE wind turbine that pops up out of the trees. (I've got a real thing about them....eek)

    Also went to Horseworld (What can I say I missed my babies) loved it :D Got back to sunny suffolk in 3 3/4 hours good going I reckon straight runs :D

    DansDad had just about collapsed with everything he 'had' to do. (which was just everything I have to do) The boys didnt miss me (none of my pets do I think) They dont care who pushes the tea trolley as long as its on time.

    I didnt spend too much thank goodness, the bike cost £31 there and back petrol, spent £24 on prezzies for my mum and DansDad, but did spend £42 on pond bits as we re did the pond yesterday. (DansDad never been a big believer in spirit levels) we now have a level pond and Flipper and Dave much happier....

    When I got back DansDad had carted the Long Suffering Dawg off for a haircut at the poodle parlour... I wasnt popular. Even less with Dawg then with the cats!!! He's forgiven me a bit since and has found the depths of our muck heap at the yard to traipse through :j Yay.... not. So I get my own back and hose him down before he gets in Willie.... Poor old dawg..

    DansDad really really peed me off yesterday. I spent 2-3 hours doing cleaning and domestic duties, bleuch, washing skirting boards and the mucky bits round the light switches and generally being the goddess I know myself to be. (Dahling) The house smelt good (as good as it can with 4 cats and aforementioned muck covered dawg)
    Anyway I wake up ay 1245 this morning, go downstairs as there is a distinct absence of DansDad to find him smoking in my spik and span living room! :mad: Now I gave up 2 1/2 year ago and have a rule no smoking in the house and no matter how many times I tell, nay demand, that he doesnt smoke in the house he does anyway. Grr Grr and Grr again. My house now smells like an ashtray. I find it really disrespectful. He cant see it... Grr again.

    Nanny in a home now, gone to a private one as all the SS ones are full £800 p/w:eek: Will go and see her Wednesday. Shes got worse since being in Hospital now cant recognise food as food.....

    B*ggeration... Thank gawd for Lewis Lane and my ENORMOUS hangover due to too much of GG's Pimms (hic!):rotfl:

    Hi hun :) Does DansDad have an area which is his? If so, perhaps you could spray it with something smelly :D


    .......noooo, not manure! Put it down!

    DansDad had the entire outside including my covered 'cat-cage' (I live right next door to a dual carriageway so the cats have currently limited outside use) He just wants to watch the telly while he does his best chimney impression....:(

    So far today I have submitted my leccy/gas readings to Atlantic. I thought I'd have been owed lots of money for the Leccy, although my usage is much higher than I thought. However the gas is much less so I suppose it evens out, but I reckon they'll be a huge bill :(

    The rain has cleared up :D AND when I weighed my self this morning which will be the first time since May 1st I have lost 7 lb :D Yay. I am now the lightest I've been for some time. I need to get inspiration from Dinah 93 and use my cross trainer everyday at least for 30 mins while cooking dinner to get down further. Bring on the size 12's :A

    No, you may not throw manure at Dans Dad (insert stern face) However......how does a fire alarm in the living room sound? :)
