    I'm a bit southeast of you juliejim, Rugby in Warwickshire (junc 1 of M6)....about 70 miles down the M6 :D

    Maybe one day I'll manage a meet. It would be really nice to meet some of you lovely ladies on here. I'm really enjoying my time on here (a bit too much time sometimes :eek:)

    Have a good time... and wave at me as you go past our house (are you going that way? where is the meet? can't remember now.....shuffles off looking for memory....I'm sure it's here somewhere......) Actually, thinking about it, you'll probably veer off to M5 territory, mind you, what am I saying, I don't even know where the meet is, so how can I know which way you will go? I'll stop talking now....



    Notso

    Are you able to get to Milton Keynes - late May early June cos there'll be a meet up then

    Piggers - congratulations to you and OH - I must be one of the few that had no idea - love the scan photo

    Diva - hope you are ok

    Natty - bit late but I hope it went ok

    Off to find a list as I've done no flying this week but have been very busy with taking the kiddies out with DH as he's had 2 days off and we've had a lovely time. DH is at work later and DD is of to her Dad's so I may get some flying done later, I also have a dental app at 3.30 - its to see if all the work I need to have done can be done on NHS and under a general anasthetic [sp?] as I gag the minute the dentist goes anywhere near me!! Should be fun as they want to check my teeth and I'll gag so they won't be able to, still, they'll know why my dentist has requested this appointment!

    Mummyof5 - forgot to send you hugs earlier re the non-revising - I am with you all the way, it can be a nightmare! It can be so frustrating that this is the final hurdle and they fail to see that. Good luck.

    Found the work surface so off upstairs to hoover and go in the shower. Amazingly all children are up.

    Morning everyone, i headed to bed last night at 8.30 and feel so much better for it today. Stupid DHL left a ''sorry we missed you'' letter at PIL yesterday eventho we were at home.:mad: It's hubby's new laptop so we'll have to go and get that and then set it up. Hubby can't wait.

    Need to go into town and do the messages i should have done yesterday.
    Right better get everyone ready and head.

    Dusty enjoy the gardening,take it easy hun.
    Diva sending loads of healing vibes.
    Happy Birthday Lemaine.
    Natty big hugs, i hope all goes well.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning ladies,

    Hope everything went ok at doctors Natty.

    Anyone know how Diva is today?

    Feeling much better today than i did yesterday which is good! Spoke to my mum last night and she said she had been feeling very similar last week so don't know if there is maybe a virus going about?

    Morning all!

    Feeling a little bit better now I've had a cup of tea, but had a horrible nightmare about my teeth falling out at school, and nasty head wouldn't let me go as I was on playground duty! I hope these nightmares stop soon - I'm fed up with thinking about school when I'm not there any more.

    On the plus side, I've just a had an all day booking for after the Easter holidays (Wednesday), so hopefully work will pick up then. Off to find my old diary though, as I forgot to ask about start and finish times and break times etc as I've been there loads of times before.

    I'd better get dressed so that I can finally fly. I've decided I definitely work better under pressure (well some pressure) as I'm a terrible procrastinator and haven't done an awful lot this week.

    Happy birthday to lemanie

    Posi vibes for Diva and Natty

    Safe journey for Jue

    Hugs for LadyL and anyone else who would like one.
