    I have had a catch up so sorry if this is old new to everyone -

    Welcome to all the newbies I have not mentioned before

    Toots – Sorry tube area has not healed yet, hope its not causing you too much discomfort :( (((hugs)))
    Jo-Jo – Well done on getting your payment after what sounds like a long drawn out battle
    Sorry cannot remember the name of the person :o- Sorry to hear of your “accident” with the car, as most said its only metal and bricks and mortar that were damaged, they can be sorted but you must have been pretty shaken up at the time((hugs))
    LW – Hope your mouth is a bit better now x
    Serena – Our company supplies a lot of machinery to the construction trade in England as well as Scotland and we had an update yesterday that the government has cancelled 710 schools across the UK, so not good for anyone.:mad:
    Cycling - Sorry to hear the diagnosis, my thoughts are with you all ((hugs))
    Crafty – Your hand never seems to have been out your pocket this week, hope it stops soon and your car is better, at least it was nothing too major x
    Carolinejane, saver-j, longtermlurker – You are doing great with the lists, so don’t beat yourself up about it, I used to at the start but for me declutteringwas the key. :D
    ffp – hope your having a nice time and well done on using the shower :T blocks, you will need to PM me the site you are on in Eyemouth, that’s one that’s on my list, we are off to Lomond Woods in ours on 16th, just Fri-Sun.
    AnW’s - you will be gone now but hope you have a fun time at camp.:cool:
    Valli – Should we be starting to buy hats??? You sound very keen on this one, is he a keeper? :p
    Winchelsea – (((hugs))) you have a lot to deal with right now, look after yourself as well x :A


    Oh and Valli - I too am a Libra, let him come to yours, you need a life too, and please do not let him sleep on your brand-new-not-even-paid-for-yet-sofa :p

    I am off now to brush my teeth before I finish, I have the dentist after work for a check up although I know that a filling has crumbled so will need a return visit no doubt!!
    :TGratitude is the best Attitude :T

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hi,

    We've had to come in from the garden as the fumes and noise from the diggers in the building site next door were driving us mad.:mad: I'm not happy with them anyway, they're clearing the weeds and earth and they've taken too much earth away and my fence now looks like it's going to fall down. :eek: There's also a massive gap at the bottom now that Ds2 could fit through with a good 6ft drop.:mad: I've spoken to the people working there ( who i went to school with ) and they're going to get the boss to come and see me on Monday. They think he plans to put a wall there.
