    PS - Toots, I went in our Polish shop last week and spoke to 2 very friendly ladies about the fizzy drink you were hankering after. I hope you found it elsewhere and have scratched that itch because they didn't have it. On the plus side, I did buy some interesting food stuffs but fear I may not be able to go back, or if I do, I may have the name 'crazy fizzy stuff lady' in Polish :o

    I am still ebaying:)

    Todays list
    ebay at least 10 items
    remind DH to complete business skills application form
    research local plasterers..last one quoted £4000
    Don't forget weigh in today
    Look at business plan proforma

    Toots I hope you have a good day today, maybe not so busy as yesterday. Don't do too much:)
    I was hoping to be going up your way soon but my DA has organised for us to go to Anglesey instead.
    Diva, I am pleased that you are able to keep some food down. Don't forget to make sure you are drinking enough. You might be a bit dehydrated. Take care of yourself. Hugs too.

    AnWsmum. ebaying is so slow... I am using auctiva.. I think it is speeding things up a bit. Hopefully I will get into the swing of things again soon.
    I have a laptop which DSs keep complaining is too slow. Maybe it is just what we are used to as I don't mind the speed of it. Mine isn't an all singing and dancing thing like the boys would like. It is basic for my needs.

    carlsberggal Huge hugs, I can't imagine what it must be like for you. Loads of hugs and prayers for DS too. It is good that you can keep in touch each day.
    It is quite exciting that DD is so close to having her baby. Are you her birthing partner? What a lot you have going on right now. I am thinking of you all.

    Thanks for the hugs etc you lovely people! Pooh - better not tell you about DD1 who has been in tears for 3 weeks since her and her long time boyfriend have split up, that she wouldn't eat for days and nearly had to force feed her and the fact that she found out last friday she is getting redundant in a months time and no payout as she hasn't been there that long then! Or the fact we spent 3 hours in hospital tuesday as community midwife was concerned that DD2's waters were leaking - no they arn't thank the lord and baby happy and healthy where it is for now. Am losing the plot completely at the minute - though Jinky the cheeky mare says I have already!

    Read back a bit so healing vibes to piggers Ds and also to GnB's LO, thinking of you. No wonder you cried honey, it's very distressing seeing them in hospital x

    meant to say hugs Gran - and well done for the stiff upper lip...I can't imagine what you (and all the families) go through. But am proud of our boys and girls in the forces and just wanted you to know that..

    will anyone do anything about the rat if I moan???


    Speaking as the wife of a pest controller (who used to do our county's schools as a contract, until they all decided to go self-funded/grant-maintained etc :cool:) you need to report it so they can call out the contracted pest control company to deal with the offending rodent and the surrounding area.

    If you get no joy, let me know.....you never know DH might do it.....where are you? (have van, will travel :D)

    Notso
