    Morning Suzy and all who follow...

    Happy St Patricks day to you too......this day 7 years ago I was in Wexford having a lovely holiday and dreaming of moving to Ireland for good.....This day last year, DH had his accident......

    How things change eh?

    2 shrews welcomed me this morning - the cat was so pleased with himself he was tripping over his own paws trying to show me just how clever he was. I really don't need that at 6am.

    Oh Pooky.....sorry that it stirs up painful memories for you. I didn't realise it was so recent.

    I have family in Wexford (can't remember which village they live in) but the last time I was there was 1989!!! It is a beautiful place though. I love Ireland and really should make the effort to go back.

    So...your cat is a hunter? Mine's far too ladylike to engage in that sort of activity :)

    Hi Pooky, Suzy Su, hi all

    Hope today goes okay for you Pooky. Date's are weird aren't they - how the same date can be a nightmare and good. My parents had their wedding, my mums diagnosis and her death all on Friday 13th!

    Busy day today at work. 4 days left at work and a one week course for which I have to do pre-reading. At this rate I won't be so much filing the paper on the desk as scooping them up in a big pile and dropping a match on them!

    Going to ring up about switching broadband in about half an hour as I have to get my costs down to about £1000 a month to give myself a decent run up to the next job (hopefully!)

    Looks okay outside - I can even see a bit of blue sky.

  • Morning Suzy and Pooky,

    Top of the mornin' to yah.

    Pooky, big hugs.

    Last night my studing lasted all of 5 minutes as I woke up at 9.30 with my nose in the book! :o

    I'm still full of cold and I'm sure my nose glows in the dark. :rotfl:

    Have a great day everyone.

    good morning

    its dull and raining here! first rain we've had since roof was fixed, seems to be ok, no extra wet marks :) suppose the test will come when the kitchen has been repainted, then we'll see any problems

    ds1 & 2 missed the bus this morning :( so i've sent them to clean their rooms, told them not to come out till they are spotless.

    in two minds whether to go to cu and pick up loan cheque and cash it :) still in two minds whats going to happen with bathroom, need to have a word with stuart today i think

    still got the ironing to do as i never got round to doing it mon, so my goal is to at least get half done today
