    No flying done yet, but we took advantage of the lovely sunshine and walked the dog for 1 3/4 hours. She has passed out in her basket and the children are unusually quiet :D

    Off to make a coffee and catch up with the thread now x

    ETA Made it back one page and realised what I had missed :rotfl:

    Congratulations PigPen x Lots and lots of hugs being sent your way. What marvellous news x x

    Hi All :wave:

    Hope you are all well, seems very quiet in here today, ah there is a meet somewhere I believe.

    It is dull, wet and miserable here, typical Scottish weather

    All 5 items on ebay sold, I have not listed anything for ages and ages, so made £173.00 and some change J going to see what else I can find.

    Well Greenbee the first thing I done last night after shutting over lappy was get a load of washing, put it in and put the dishwasher on, went up to bed and [STRIKE]*played my ds*[/STRIKE] went to sleep straightaway. I must say I did have a better nights sleep last night than I have been having over the last week. I did wake up but as soon as I did, I didn’t even gibe the brain time to think about the thought, I put it in “the black box” and closed the lid so thanks for that, never even used lavender, going to have a bath tonight as kids are at their Grans, will keep doing a wee bit from your list until I can sleep through xx

    Hex – Sorry about your wee chook x
    LadyL – ((Hugs)) can you pass on my love to Diva as well x
    Toots - Hope the silence is not too much for you ((hugs))
    Soappie – How is snotsville??
    Greenbee – I just changed my car a few weeks ago and my cousin said “new car – same cd’s” (I LIKE really cheesy music)
    Grateful – Good luck with 12 week scan
