            Hi all..
Just popped on to catch up, meant to make it here last night but I got sidetracked ..anyway I have read back..
Sandy (((hugs))) for today, I too will be with you virtually, hope theres still a space left on the bus..I can always cling onto the luggage rack if needs be!
Cyclingyorkie and Ajmoney - Positive vibes to both of you..
Pigpen and FFP - hope all your fishes are ok now. I had a little tank bought for me for Christmas, I've just got Neon Tetras but they are very beautiful, if a little shy!
Not much flying happening here yet, just a big sweep thro every night once the plumbers have finished.. its all gonna need a massive clean once its done..every floor & surface is covered in dust & as we've only got a tiny landing, they've spread their tools in all the bedrooms! I tried shutting the doors but they just opened them again so I gave up.. Nevermind, the bathroom looks fab and we now have a shower!0 - 
            
 
Wet, grey and misrable here today again:(.
Yesterday DD won a prize for her book review for world book day. She got to choose a book from the traveling book fair and was presented it in assembly. I'm so proud she was the only primary 1 to get a prize:T:T
On the not good front the school will close for good when they break up in June for the summer holidays so I'll need to wait to hear now which catchment area we will be in and which school DD and DS2 will be attending, we are bang in the middle now of 2 schools. Can't beleive the dirty rotters are closing it at the end of it's 99th year and they have just spent over 1/4 of a million doing it up.:mad:
Sandy I'll be thinking of you today. I've bought my ticket for the bus and will take charge of the dodgy singing. Huge hugs honey.
 for Toots, Lady-L, carsberggal, Rose, and anyone I've missed I'm having a blank moment:o
Piggers keep meaning to say then CRAFT kicks in.... Can I offer you a new avvie? Just wondering as we are in March and it's a christmasy one. Let me know and I'll try to find whatever you want. I know you like christmas though so you might want to keep it but I thought I'd ask.

            Morning all,
Hugs to Sandy, Cyclingyorkie, AJm's and her horsey friend, and all you ladies with tummybugs (good job they are virtual hugs - and scanned for viruses:D). Oh and I'll be on the virtual bus too, don't want to miss the wheelchair conga:rotfl:Dustykitten wrote: »Evening all
Went to the cinema to see 'Alice' it was better than I thought but I did find the 3D very tiring - gee I'm getting old. I kept fancying a cup of tea whilst watching it too especially with the tea party scenes.
:rotfl:I'll remember to take a flask.After all, once you've discussed peg-matching and lists written by someone called pigpen in public, reality really doesn't have any relevance!
We need a secret sign or something (like the masons) so one flylady could spot another in the street and nod, maybe Soappie could help what with her secret agent experience; or maybe a badge like the Mothers Union, is that Rosepinks territory?:DMoney_saving_Diva wrote: »
Thanks Diva, very funny about the social networks, you are naughty :rotfl:. Please tell the lovely Lady-L I'm thinking of her.
Pigpen, I think you only know about Soappie's KGB experience because you were like that woman from the bond film in a former life, just health and safety have made you remove the knives from your mules (ducks, just in case:p):D
Am still decorating so only level 1s again but the house is holding up surprisingly well. I suspect that level 3 service will not be resumed until after the Easter hols, lots of birthdays in April too, so extra busy....

Snap! Mine's having an MOT and a service - I remembered to empty boot, I put last year's cert in service book AND told my 'little man' about the bulb (sidelight) that has blown...so pass MOT vibes for TWO carsMorning All
My car's going in for its MOT this morning so I need to go and empty it in a minute. I've done nothing all week although I have kept up with my ironing. Mum and Dad's for tea tonight so it will probably be tomorrow before I catch up with you all properly although I may get on later.
Hugs to all

Meadowhall sounds good (easy-and free, to park;)) if the 8th's Friday I can do that.
Twoloads on line (cheap rate;)) sheets in - did DS's room yesterday so will claim that star when I hav done the beds BUT didn't get as much done as I would have liked so lots to do - back later
Rach - don't forget the NCT nearly new sales - I wish I had known about them sooner - didn't discover them until DD was born:o when I bumped into a long time aquaintance on her way to one... and could have done with knowing about sudocrem a bit earlier too - DS had awful nappy rash - he actually had blisters - couldn't even tolerate a wet nappy:( and speaking personally I like hearing the baby talk even if I am not a bit broody - but always remember he/she is your babyand your decisions are the right ones even if they're not what someone else would do.
Vibes for the horsey lady and Yorki and AJ
When I met Quillion and Mummyoffve (who somehow seemed to know it was me as I walked up to the shop) I muttered the codeword pigpen
I am going cleaning with pen now - bet she'll have cake for when we're done
