Hell yeah............feelin the lurve :rotfl:

Glad to be back everyone... Sometimes I do wonder about the four wheels.... Wonders if I can manage with two wheels and my original four hoof drive???? (neigh lass...)

Well b*gger me not only do I come back I've only gone and broken my little toe last night. Was topping up the cats bicuits and swung round and cracked it on the borrowed cross trainer (see excersize is most :rotfl:definatley bad for one...:() Yowee. There was no way I was going to bring the bike in today despite the sunshine. Its gone Ribena coloured....

Long Suffering dog Wimp factor 5 today just because the boys had bought the fencing down last night in the torrential rain and they followed us round when we were putting it up....

Ho hum never mind - am hoping toe will be bearable for next weeks intrepid adventures - DansMum goes to WestCountryland and takes passport just in case

(Just noted Ben Shephard from GMTV leaves on Friday - there goes the morning dose of eye candy....)

SmlSave

Ow - your poor toe! big (hug) hun. Do try and rest it till the swelling goes down

Ohhh, what's happening in da westcountry? tell, tell.....

(Just noted Ben Shephard from GMTV leaves on Friday - there goes the morning dose of eye candy....)

Speaking of eye candy.....did you see the new BBC Sherlock Holmes? I think I'm in lurrrve :happyhear (perhaps just a weekend of him tied to my ....ho..hum....:D)

You're a wicked girl - make no mistake. Fancy tying the poor boy to your bed. Dont scare him now!! Am going to watch on the i player thingy so will reserve judgement for now...

Toe much better (sounds like I was making a real fuss but it was painful) Hopefully be back on the bike tomorrow am getting far too tight to run the car...

Had a late start at work today - just needed another few hours zzzzzeds so DansDad opened up so I could doze off again after he went to work. I must stop trying to burn the candle at both ends I love the early mornings, but cant stay up til 1030!!! (lightweight)

greent

ooh - I've broken toes before (kicking a door after an argument with OH!!) - painful! I remember walking downhill wearing heeled shoes really hurt (stupid person that I was - had a mile long downhill walk to work - and *had* to wear heels (age/ image thing at the time....))

Whereabouts in t'West Country are you off to? Hopefully the weather will be fab!

Am off to Bristol Mum working at Portishead four days a week then hot foots it back to sunny suffolk for the weekends... We're going to Drewsteignton in Devon for our holidays, with DansDad and the Longsuffering Dog (whos not the best traveller) in our caravan... Cheap n cheerful we spend a lot of our time exploring the moors as those who know, know Suffolk is as flat as the preverbial ...

Back on the bike Had an oilchange the other day so want to make sure it doesnt leak before I head westward ho!

Have to help clear my Nans house this weekend as its up for sale now to pay for her homeplace.... What is the motivation to have a MF home and retirement plan when if you need care you have to sell everything? She was a nurse for 55 years worked til she was 76 and wanted to leave everything to her daughters, but her illness has put paid to that. :mad:

I plan to pay it all off, get to 55/60 sell it and spend it. I'll have no children to leave it to, or other close (younger) relatives so may as well enjoy it while I can then if I go doolally then they can park me in a dark corner of a home somewhere and I can poke at people with my stick Sorry rant over x

Hi Dansmum - hope all goes well this weekend clearing your Nan's house. As you say, it's crackers we have a system that penalizes people who work hard and put by when they're older. Hopefully she's happy in her new home? QB

DansMum_2

Thanks QB appreciate it xxxxx

Well Am downloading onto this newfangled mp3 thingy (whatever was wrong with the old fashioned Sony Walkman cassette player?? Amazing. Have shedloads of tunes including all of War of the Worlds and theres still more room than my entire collection will fit on! I just need something to take the edge off the M4!!! Hoping to be in Westcountryland by about 230 - 3pm tomorrow afternoon (have packed passport to get out of suffolk) Am staying another day now coming back Thursday and will come back via stonehenge

So I doubt very much that I'll be doing any kind of Moneysaving whatsoever, although the bike is not going to cost a lot to get there and back I think the car would have been about £100!!! Just needing a break...

DansDad is looking after everything for me work, dog, cats and horses! Although I have to get feeds etc ready tomorrow morning. He's gotta get up early to get his instructions!!! Have been to Sainsbergs today to buy him some meals as I know what he's like - he'll live on toast when I'm not there..... Men!
