Oh no, I feel bad now, a teacher friend down the road said ages ago that she would be happy to countersign my passport application but I never got round to it. I was going to call in soon with a box of her favourite Gallo, White Grenache, but now I don't know. Is that the going rate?

I can't sign passport applications, as I'm not a British citizen, but would not dream of charging people if I could (unless everybody started coming to me with them all of a sudden) . None of my friends and colleagues do, either. A small present would be nice, but I wouldn't expect anything from friends.

Allergic to penicillin. Got to steam the wallpaper off... steam myself at same time??;):p I would say that's multitasking:D

DS1 calls it 'boiling his head' - he uses it as a spot treatment, with a bowl, hot water and a towel.

Not sure if i can ask ( so just delete my post if there is a problem-after i have got my stars , mind you!) but does stuff last from the shop where you buy everything 'flat packed'?. DS1 needs a new bed etc.

We've had lots of stuff from there, and even though DH doesn't rate it, I'm very happy. We've had two beds (one currently used by DS2), desks, CODs, coffee tables, bedside cabinets, toy storage, shelving... In fact, I'm due to go back in the holidays to get more bits for the cellar shelving and a few things for DS1's room. Whenever we replaced things it was a matter of choice, not because they'd broken. I've only ever struggled with instructions once, and I usually put stuff together by myself.

Um... if I hadn't left home when I was 20, I'd probably have still been in a cupboard.... sorry Mum!:D

DH has already killed him! He is on borrowed time so if I cant sort it out, I will have to rehome him. According to the vet, it could be the unneutered tom muscling in on his territory. One of our others is a bit disturbed at the mo so I think he is right.

I am not sure if it was raining

Thanks, Lilo

Surgical spirit stops them going back to the same spot, 2 parts to 8 parts water.

I'm just popping on to see if L L has heard anything from Diva? I'm getting a little worried now and don't want to be phoning her OH as he'll probably have enough on at the moment
