    I've got my list for tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to post; it's going to be a tad busy, what with the hedge man coming early on, and then Sidney arriving and we'll be getting him settled and get the gen on his medical care.

    I'll try to post, but if I don't, well, you'll know I'm busy with the wee pooch.:D

    Evening all

    Piggers
    - DS2 has Biology tomorrow and I have the pleasure of invigilating it too. It's usually quite an easy module so they should be fine but as mine is only year 9 and just 14 it seems a tad bit early. There are always resits but he'll be fine.

    DS3 put to bed at 6:30 for fighting at school - toad, all over football and he is not even supposed to be playing football yet since breaking his arm.

    G&B that must be a lovely feeling

    Newlywed I hope you and hubbie are on better terms this evening. I know you feel let down but trust an old bird life really is too short for we never know what is around the corner. Next time you want a kiss take the initiative and instigate one yoruself.

    Still not a whole load of flying to report but I have unloaded the wm to the maiden and put the DW on.

    DH home now so time for a glass of wine. Hoping if I soak my trotter he'll squeeze my feet.

    Hi to all

    I've done hardly anything this week apart from washing and ironing and the house is still like a bombsite.

    Hugs to all

    toochoosey squishy hug for DD - what would you really like to do? you should write down the good points and the bad points about doing the course and see where that gets you.
    G&B great news - does that mean we will have the pleasure of your company too?? Hope LO gets safely over whatever is brewing xx
    LameWolf I hope tomorrow goes well for you with evrything and your new lodger settles well :D

    Thanks Toots, She is fine now and is even asking for the savlon spray now!!!!

    I think I would like to go into something like tha. Before having DD I worked in private creches with under 2's and loved it (Teachers assistant allows me to have the hols off). Really want to do something with my life other than what I am doing now. I have looked at a couple of sites and you don't necessarily need qualifications so may have a word in the school tomorrow.....Thanks xx

    toots my lovely saw your message from last night about my e-mail to you - hope it didn't upset you as you haven't replied - that's the last thing i would want to do to such a special lady
    posting and running again my lovelies - so love and hugs and healing and coping vibes as needed from me.

    danny is on the hospital plane as we speak thank the lord, we have to be at selly oak military hospital tomorrow at 2 to meet him, the doctors and the liason officer. they are putting us up in a hotel friday night, which has me worrying that there is something they haven't said to danny or us; it must be though that they do this as a matter of course? we only live 2 and a half hours away - which they know - so can easily travel there and back.

    anyway ennough of me and mine - sorry for cluttering up the thread, but know you have been thinking of him and wanted to give you an update. goodness knows when i will get back on, but will text jinkypoooooooooooo and let her know - i know because she is so lovely that she will pass any news on to you all

    lots of love and kisses xx

    Good advice; I'm sure I'm an even older bird :p

    I hope it isn't bad news - I'd bet that the MoD is looking to help military families. Crossed fingers that you manage to get some sleep :A

    Just got back from choir, and am decluttering a glass of red :beer: It's been decided that we'll be singing extracts from Carmen in French :eek: The ladies are fine, but the men have reverted to humming :rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to update my list :)
