Good afternoon Flypeople :beer: DD and I have had a great day shopping (I've not been since the summer holidays, so my poor CC took a bit of a battering :T ). I couldn;t find a kettle I like, so I've been browsing the internet. I know it's not Flying, but would appreciate your suggetsions. Can you put these kettles in order - which would you buy

Kettle A

Kettle B - in one of a variety of colours

Kettle C

TIA :A

Sunnygirl I think thats better news for the wee man - it may be harder on him but it will be over quicker IYSWIM? I hope your visit goes ok and you are not too upset - hugs and prayers for the LO and his family xxx
Dusty everything crossed for your application - when will you hear? I think you will make an excellent governor xx good luck with the knitting too!
PenPen - 1 L'express IMHO 2.0 litres is plenty and 15y guarantee is excellent! 2 Horwood would be too heavy and maybe a bit dangerous if full? 3 Le Creuset the enamel would get stained eventually - hope that helps!
Pollybear you are amazing - thats great having everything wrapped and ready - well done to you xx and I just love the idea of the frames on the tree with the pets photos- even if old doggy is still there I think its lovely to give her a place of honour on the tree for now and always- I hope she is still with you too (((hugs)))
toochoosey sounds like you enjoyed your day - well done - and well done getting the nappy cake to do - yes get it priced properly so that you instanty have a price if someone asks you for one.
Aunty hope the repairs are going well.
TAG hope your arm is healing and not so sore today - did you get another iron yet - better hurry or you will be having withdrawl symptoms:D
GRaaaaaaaaaaan nice to see you posting hun and hopefully we will have you bavck properly real soon - as always you have so much on your plate yet you cope and come through it - poor Danny lets hope the families man can sort things out for him and that a transfer comes through PDQ. DD1 will have to change her ways when she is doing for herself and maybe it will be the making of her but at least she is good with Chloe and thats the important thing at the moment.
DD2 has made what she thinks is the right choice for her and though you and others might not necessarily agree people have to respect her wishes. As for DH's DD thank goodness you havent had the room to have her - I think you will have your hands full there:D but the news about your MiL is brilliant what a relief that must have been for everybody - I am delighted to hear the positive outcome. Take care of yourself honey and I hope we will see you soon (((hugs)))

have had a hectic day - the time has just flown by!

I had a new carer - a change at the last minute but she was ok but it was a later time than normal for a thursday - she was not long out the door and the cleaner arrived - I was just telling her what I wanted done when the lady came from the carers office for my review - we were still talking when my lunchtime carer came in a bit early - it was chaos!!!
so review lady went
carer fed me and went
then my pal popped in to see if I needed anything at asda
cleaner went
pal arrived back for a coffee
while she was here the gardener arrived
pal left
since it was a lovely day I was outside with the gardener and had 2 deliveries as well! so pretty hectic!!!
I did enjoy my time outside it was very warm and she got loads of tidying up done.

of for tea now

Hiya everyone

Just flying in to say I met my challenge and found a home for 100 things (170 actually). The house looks a lot tidier. I did have to resort to opening drawers and cupboards because even we didn't have 170 things hanging around! I've also spent a few hours planning to expand my business. I love what I do, I have a bit more time now so it makes sense.

Big hugs sunnygirl and massive love and hugs for tomorrow msgnomey xx
