    Epiggers - glad all was 'normal' at lunchtime

    THURSDAY lunch time.. not today!

    My feet are so swollen the skin hurts and is as taut as it is possible to be without splitting!

    Party done for another year..next ones are November... PHEW!! So I have time to recover!

    DW loaded.. though I have 4 loads of laundry to fold.. though no table to put it on, so I need to finish clearing that.

    Oh Valli, you have an ickle kitty!:j When did you get her and what colour is she? You have already told everyone I expect but I need telling cos I have been AWOL for weeks. Need piccies as well please! :D

    Miss Tag's 'babies' are 9 months old now. But they still seem little,
    I don't think they'll be partiularly big when they've stopped growing.

    And joy of joys we're getting regular presents **rolls eyes** Mice (lots of), birdies (a few of) and they're favorite is catching bumble bees. They still haven't sussed that they hurt though.....daft things.

    But they are such fun too have around. Love em to bits. :D

    she's a basement cat but you can see tabby evidence really (in the sunshine) so not pure black IYSWIM

    I was offered her on wednesday

    and refused

    and wanted her really

    so I asked if I could have her on friday (and got lost in the townships) despite detailed instructions *rolleyes* then there was an accident and road closure near the Messy Church *pauses to unhook kitten from self - twice - rolleyes*
    but then I have been known to get on the M1 at J29 with the intention of leaving the M1 at J28 and missing my exit...the Vallikids are (frequently) instructed to keep schtum about our adventures :rotfl:and I CANNOT have a satnav because the 12V socket thing is broken and I would swear at it anyway...and, in order to read a map I need glasses BUT I cannot wear them when driving.

    OH (bless) sent me detailed instructions to get to his which involves pulling up just off the A1(M) in a Premier Inn car park and ringing him to come and get me - and I get admonished because my journey time was so short (therefore I must have 'had my foot down')*looks innocent*

  • Hi, day one level 1 just finished! Sitting room looking habitable now thanks. Also got OH to help with hoovering after I had cleared floor .... he was trying to watch telly and every time adverts came on I switched hoover on, he took over to get the job done quicker ....result!
    DW loaded and unloaded
    Wm x 1
    TD x1

    Just a couple of queries;
    1. what is 'flying', where does the term come from?
    2. how do I reproduce the list of tasks and put a line through them?

    Also spent all day at work blitzing my classroom, another day needed there tomorrow.

    I calls 'em adventures ;)

    FLYING comes from in order to love your home you must First Love Yourself (American - 'nuff said)
    (Personally I think it's to do with running around like a fly with a blue bum :rotfl:)
    Reproduce the lists by quoting and editing as appropriate.

    to line though (aka strike) you edit your post using the Go Advanced button and then highlighting and hitting the [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] button above the white box

    HTH and welcome - I'm the sane one;)

    where d'you teach (roughly) cabbage and what age group?

    (loads of us on here...)

    I too am in school tomorrow. Best to go in while I'm in the zone, methinks...also my co-teachers are in.

    Jinks has wriggled behind me - I can't sit back. So I am about to introduce her to her bed. I will not '!!!!!foot' round a sleeping cat...she will be moved and she will learn,

    And a recent visitor ;) commented on tidiness/cleanliness of hovel.
