    Thankyou hunny - I feel a bit better now :) I just hate taking time off work - don't get me wrong my kids always come first, just feel like my 12 year old would probably have been ok and sort of feel like I'm skiving off for the day :( Then again last weekend he nearly cracked his skull open on the trampoline! I would have banned him for today but it could have been something else. I probably have made the right decision - I just feel a bit bad because there is actually somebody here if something had gone wrong but hubby really does need to get his sleep for work later x
    At the end of the day I do love my job but it is just a job and my babies are my life x
    Thank you again pigpen - you're an angel, muwah muwah xx
    I'm gonna shift some of this guilt and get some cleaning done to make me feel better :)

    Morning all

    Good job we went out yesterday as when we woke up there was not water :eek: was the same for the whole village. Fortunately it was back on by the time we got home.

    Had a reasonable time out, the fool that organised the ringing was too officious and not very welcoming of younger/less experienced ringers (ie Miss A and her adopted Grandad) but what ringing we did was enjoyable as was the pub lunch. W enjoyed chasing the pigeons at one tower. We finished the day at Loxton Canal locks :)

    Came online this morning to find 4 ebay sales :D two already paid for, so they are about to be parcelled whilst I have a :coffee: then I shall be off to Mr M's and do some flying this pm.

    'Only' another 9 pages to catch up on!

    Morning all.

    A lovely sunny day here. Did the living room yesterday and then builder came last night to say they would start repointing today.:cool: The window is open a touch for their cable to come through. I have covered it with a sheet but still lots of dust. Oh well at least its getting another job done. Will leave the kitchen for now as they will be doing back of the house next. I will do the bathroom.

    Welcome to the newbies.

    valli I am much better now Im trying to eat more sensibly. Had a bit of a scare the other day but no further problems.
    carlsberggal Hugs. Hope you hear from him soon.
    jinky Glad your gran has come through ok. Healing vibes being sent for her.
    Soappie Hugs.

    Special hugs for Toots, Lady L and Diva.
