    Hello all new fliers, I started lurking on this thread around easter, started posting in May, and after just a few weeks things were so much easier, and my home looked like a home, so don't be scared, everyone's lovely here :).

    Right, got the soup on the go, need to go and check on it.

    Luckily for me, they don't allow wolves in schools.:p:p:p:p:p:rotfl:

    Westies fed, pongy dog-foody dishes and utensils all washed up, back lawn "hoovered" (by Mr LW; I'm not trying that again after nearly sending myself early to my next life last time), poo patrol completed (you wouldn't believe how much poo two small dogs can produce).

    Signing off for now, see you on the Noo Fred.;)

    I feel very smug that I don't have to go to work :rotfl:

    But I'm pretty immobile so it's not a bad thing! My mum is on her way from London, mil picking her up from the station. Me and ma are going for a curry then, dh's mate coming around to play ps3.

    greenbee - not sure if i've said but congrats on becoming an aunty. Hope the lil man starts to feed better soon, my friend refused to leave hosp til they had helped her feed him. I am going along to my local babycafe when I'm off to try and get some help and tips.

    Countryfile is on TV and baby is going mad, s/he must love John Craven as much as I do!

    I don't wanna go to school...


    ...nor do I!!

    Only year 7 in tomorrow, then activity day on Tuesday (whose stupid idea was that??? Total chaos on the first full day back is not a good way to start!).

    I have a To Do List for tomorrow that stretches over several pages, and may well require me to stay up until the wee small hours....not that I could get any of it done earlier at school without computer access.

    On the plus side, I have had a busy but lovely weekend. I have lost a little weight this week, rather than putting it on,(probably because I have added a daily walk!) and had a couple of hours gardening this morning.

    I have to be in school every day this week, so I am not sure how much flying I'll be able to do. Then next week I have two days in France.
