    Good morning,

    hope you are all well, particularly Lady-L and Diva?

    Oops - just knocked full mug of tea over onto computer desk, nothing seems damaged and at least I can strike off that job this week :D. Shame I have no milk left for more tea, sigh.

    Congratulations to cazzab, hope you are taking things easy.
    lemanie the ladies here will vouch for the fact that I often used to go to bed with Sean!!!!:D I think he is just the bees knees!!!!

    I don't mind sharing with you at all, he's more than enough man for 2 ladies...
    Well hi again. I used to sign in as BenW but have now registered in my own name

    Hello Ruth, so pleased to see you back and glad you are happier about the name. I hope you are coping with the sad loss of your Mum and that the charity work hasn't taken too much from you. x

    Soappie, I wish you ladies wouldn't keep tempting me, I want chickens! I need a green-faced envious smiley.

    DH decluttered DS2 to school so I'm still in my dressing gown, will go and get dressed and start work, have only loaded the DW and WM so far but the sun is shining so the washing can be pegged out.

    See you later x

    I've been for a run and emptied the bins...

    I'm in London for work today. Client meeting, then meeting up with a colleague who's there for a conference to get some work done, then going out afterwards. So major decisions needed on what to wear... and I need to find a bag big enough to take a change of shoes (and ideally clothes) without making me look like a bag lady at my meeting...

    Luckily I don't need to take my laptop, just printouts and a notebook. I suppose I should mow the lawn before I go. I might have an hour of flying in the garden/house and then an hour to get myself sorted and leave...
