    Jan59 - I'm fighting a humungous planning application
    Boddy - happy birthday to your Mum

    Hugs to all the poorlies

    Was nice and quiet at work first thing this morning so was able to start on my campaign notes and objections but then from about 11am it was busy, busy, busy....

    Also had an interview offer for that job application I sent off last week. It next Weds so fingers crossed please ladies - maybe it'll be third interview lucky...

    Charity Commission has now been included in campaign correspondence but I don't hold out much hope from that quarter.

    I need to Dyson the living room and kitchen desperately so will go do that in a minute whilst the chicks are still outside. They are in overnight and during the day when I'm at work but go out into their coop for a few hours in the evening.

    Then wade my way through more paperwork...and take copious notes...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy hold on. When did you get an OH, I've missed something major and now I know why you've not been on here. Spill or point me to posts with more details.xx

    Greenbee come on, spill the beans!!:D
    You lot are SO nosy :p:p:p

    New OH... met him at work... we've been together for a couple of months now and he wanted to meet my parents. He's already met my brother and SIL, and some of my friends. Most important thing is that I like him :D He's been living in the next county near his kids, but is moving to Winchester, not far from my brother in the next couple of weeks.

    He appears to be fairly well house trained, and has so far cleaned my car (not a small undertaking...), cut my hedge, put up shelves in my shed, and is looking after my house while I'm away this week.

    And that's all the detail you'll be getting...

    Right, better go and bath the dog AGAIN... I only washed her on Sunday and she's rolled in something unspeakable while I was out today...
