Firstly
Happy Birthday
((hugs)) for those still poorly
and YEAH for bruno
Now Can I have an almighty RANT !!!
Bloody FlyBe have cancelled all flights tomorrow even if the airspace is open again for precautionary reasons ... thats fine, I would rather be safe ... however .... my work have told me that I have to go on my course and that I will need to get a ferry and train instead .. the only ferry that still has spaces is Larne to Stranrar and thats 2 hours then the train connection goes from Stranrar to Edinburgh, then to Glasgow then to Leeds which will take approx 9 hours with connections !!! I would only arrive in Leeds train station at 5am on Monday morning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I would deem that a bit unreasonable and have said that I am not for doing it and have been told that it is reasonable to expect me to alter my travel plans to fit in with business needs.
So now I have had to keep my hotel booking and hope that I get over (otherwise I have to pay the £76 cancellation fee) and try to get a last minute flight either tomorrow or Monday morning to either Manchester or Liverpool and get the train over from there !!
I am in a seriously bad mood !!!The two best things I have done with my life

Congratulations to Bruno and Mrs bruno

Seems like a lot of the sickies are recovering, albeit, slowly!
Sami...not sure what to say about oh's cousins...we aren't sure who we are inviting to the two LO's naming ceremony which should be in September!
Beautiful weather here today, makes me feel brighter but thinking about the back garden, which has a weeks worth of dog poo and desperately needs mowing, means I haven't ventured out yet!Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,

On a final note, as you are my internet friends and unreal, it is ok to say that we are at the BFP stage. Only 4-5 weeks in so no real news beyond that. OH is a bit anxious as she is much crampier this time than last, she sees the doctor on Tuesday just in case.
Congrats - that's lovely news :jHere I go again on my own....0 -
That's really unreasonable of them MM, no wonder you are fuming! xDS1 12/10/04

Mel hope you all feel better soon! It's miserable when you have them all ill, constant cleaning up of bodily fluids, bleurgh!
SS, can you not switch off your ringer? Post woman shoes won't suit you anyway my dead, hope you and Molly feel better soon. Boo to your OH, mine uses the 'I was sleeeeping, I don't reeeeemember' excuse too. yer right ya git!
Becles enjoy your weekend, even if you are revising (I actually enjoyed revising if I had peace and quiet, coffee, chocolate and carrot sticks
)
Quiet congratulations Mr&Mrs Bruno (and E), the extra crampyness is normal with second/third etc babies, and the pregnancy will be nothing like the first one. Hope it all goes well for you all.
Caz, I see you're talking in questions again? Nasty habit? Is it a Scoooby?? (and what colour)
Jeebus-Creevus almighty! brb after I change Ambers bum! :eek:0 -

. I can't see how they can expext you to travel for that long and then be fresh to study :mad: The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents
