    Yay :j:j:j:j


    Great to see you all on here - welcome back all - particularly Penguin, Angel, Louise and Gun jack :T:T:T


    Will reply individually over the next few days :cool:

    Well - what a difference a day makes :rotfl::rotfl:(I DO believe young Numpty posted a link to this song a few months ago ;))

    So as of tonight I now
    a) hopefully will be adopting 3 new lady piggies for my boys in early September :D:D
    b)Have spent this afternoon with KC and am reassured that she has the appropriate support in readiness for her big move on wednesday :T:T:T...You GO Hun ;)
    c) Frozen a load of fresh pineapple that was decaying in my fridge :o
    d) Blanched and frozen all my bean crop to date ;)
    e) Got a lovely table base from KC to put my old oak boards on to create a new cage stand for Piggie Palace - plus an original vintage Beldray ironing board in red to match my new colour scheme :T:T (thanx hun :D)
    f) Out of the blue......Got some work for September :j:j
    g) Got my first decent night's sleep last night for the first time in 6 months :T:T:T
    h) Confirmed my minder availability for my hospital day op on tuesday next week :cool:...so now it should go ahead (only been waiting 3 years :rotfl::rotfl:)

    So.....Before I go to bed tonight I need to clean out the more stinky piggies (phwwwaawwwwww!!!)

    And Tomorrow I need to
    a) Bait the compost bins as there is a rather large blackish rat:eek: in residence (I thought his tail was a slow worm at first but then realised it was the tail end of a rather larger than normal mammal :eek::eek:........euk!!!!!!)
    b) Ring Numpty for a conflab about something (no worries judgin by the emails Hun ;))
    c) dead-head all my hanging baskets which are looking very sorry for themselves through lack of attention subsequent to Horace's kind ministrations just prior to The Rave :o
    d) order a new chest freezer for Piggie Palace so I can store more home-grown produce...as I have no more freezer space left :eek:..... but loads of tupperware waiting in the fridge for -20deg C places ;)
    e) Urgently sort out replies to the solicitors/Ombudsman's communications etc etc if I am not to lose my current position ;)

    Tonight I had my first "proper" meal since the night before The Rave - salmon fillet, new potoatoes and fresh green beans from the garden....really made a change from eating ratatouille/veg soup....(.i.e. batch cooking) each night :cool:


    There's other significant stuff as well which I will report over the next few days. Bottom line is....The Only Way is Up :T:beer::j:D

    Right must toddle off and change the worst of the stinky pigs :rotfl:
    Well OK - so the kitchen is now a bomb site - que sera sera.......just a little something else to sort out tomoz :rotfl:

    Night night all - sleep well

    xxxx

    P.S. Sorry - no update yet on Smashed's nail - have left her messages so hopefully tomorrow there will be some good news :rotfl:
