    Morning all

    BOS - Hope Jess is feeling better today.

    Claire - Best not attempt the bath again unless there's someone there to help you, don't want to end up breaking something and not being able to use your lovely new shower for weeks.

    Squizz - Hope Mr Squizz is ok x

    Snaggs - Hope your two are on the mend soon - DD2 used to be hospitalised with her croup....I found a fab way of easing it off was to strap her in the buggy for a nap, pop the rain cover over so it formed a nice little enclosure and pop a bowl of hot water underneath with some vics in....her own little steamy bubble...really helped though.

    DD2 is home poorly again today - she can hardly swallow, glands are all up and to top it all off she's got the monthly from hell....she looked so pityful this morning bless her....she went back to bed at 8am and is still sparko.

    Sofa levitation man came this morning - looks a bit silly having one sofa 6 inches in the air but does the job.

    I've cleaned out the fish tank, cleaned out the parrot cage, sorted the washing and run round with the hoover......is it time to go back to bed yet?

    Oh and just checked the bank and 10 weeks worth of back pay DLA has gone in :j

    Morning all, and hello to Jess - sounds like you need a nice day of relaxing!

    Snaggs, Pooky, Gemmzie and BB I hope you/the kids feel better soon.

    Claire, I hope you're ok. I had to move somewhere without a bath cos I just couldn't get in and out safely, it's great not having that risk, I'm sure you'll love the freedom when you're bathroom's sorted.

    Squizz, hope the OH is better today, and I agree with the others that he really needs to report it.

    Great news on the DLA Pooky!

    Well, my plan for today is study, study, study! And I've got my first meeting at the writer's group this afternoon, plus a couple of phone calls to make.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Is it this weekend you are going to Glastonbury SRM? When you mentioned it originally, I thought you meant you were going to the music festival, for some reason. It confused me as I didn't have you down as a mud-and-portaloos kinda girl. :D

    Champers on the Tor sounds much more civilised. :T

    Good news about your OH, LMC. Are you all prepared?

    Hope the sofa levitation helps Pooky. Would be cool if you could get one that just goes up and down on demand (true of so many things in life mind you...).

    Well done Bunny, will keep everything crossed! :T

    I have forgotten what else I was going to say. :doh:
