    Onwards and upwards Wol, things are going to be just great for you I am sure.

    If anyone deserves it you do xx
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Oh dear :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    I had a weak [STRIKE]mental[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]alcoholic induced[/STRIKE] mental moment last night and am now about to be the proud adopted mother of (at least 3:eek::eek:) female pigies - one each for Beechie, Ginger and Bandit.;)..plus maybe two more girlies :eek::eek::eek:

    Don;t worry - my boys are knadgered..and the poor lady owner was in exactly the same position I faced two years ago where I thought I would have to give up my piggies to someone else because i couldnt; care for them properly (courtesy of arm in plaster from Beechie boy :cool:)....and despite ll my phone calls, no-one would take them :(

    The female piggies are really beautiful and one is a chinchilla and white colour :happyhear:happyhear:happyhear...and their mumjy lives near me so she can come and visit ...needless to say she is gutted she has to rehome them and i really do feel for her :(

    So hopefully we will meet to introduce them to each other in early September :D:D....and hopefully Beechie and Bandit will be snapped out of their current pancake lethargy.......so it will all be worthwhile :T


    Off to demolish Kc's house tomorrrow (please don;t tell her :shhh::shhh: )......I'll be trying to get certain fixtures and fittings off the wall before she moves :cool::D:rotfl:


    Right off to batch cook "grow your own" 3kg of courgettes and 2kg of runner beans :eek::eek:

    :hello: Looking forward to it! One of the sticky bits isn't quite as bad as I feared - but I need to consult with you about sandpapering it quickly and sloshing a bit of paint on from the stash in the garage.... no idea if thats realistic. As I say tho, it doesn't look like the nightmare I thought it did, it looks normal-horrible, iykwim.

    Piggies. Lots of piggies! And very active boy piggies soon, from the sound of it :rotfl: You're going to be very busy (like you haven't been already :D)

    I'm good thanks - v v tired, strangely - it might have something to do with not bothering to go to bed till 1am ...

    Any excuse for top totty, hey? :D I'm glad I could help provide one, but I bet you could find something :p

    Ooh, another request - unless I see something from you here, I'll ring you later - my vacuum cleaner has done its cut-out thing, and I *need* a vacuum cleaner :o:o:o I might have to bite the bullet and get a new one once I'm in the new house, cos this is getting ridiculous.

    Hello Wol, gang & piggies.

    Sorry I've not been around I have been busy earning money:j Also I received some extra money from the council, on ringing them I discover it was some housing benefit due to me from last year:D

    Not much to report here really - am off to the docs on Monday to get the results of my bone scan - doc writes to me and says there is nothing to worry about but wants to see me (confuddled now).

    Last weekend, I was on a photography course and spent 5 boring hours on the M5 driving to Honiton..this trip is normally 2hrs yawn...I came home via the A350 and the Fosse Way stopping for an hour in Bridport and 2hrs in Shaftesbury catching up with folks.

    Smashed..I am sorry to hear about your nail - I am sure it will grow back.

    Wol - enjoy your courgettes and beans.

    aha Horace, there you are :D - I've been worriting about your absence & was about to send out a search party.

    Great news about the housing benefit rebate - I can honestly say that having my coucil tax refunded was one of the most satisyfing moments I've had .

    Even better news about earning money :D
