    Morning campers, what on earth am I doing up so early, it's still dark outside..lol

    Feeling a bit fragile for some reason, bit of a squiffy stomach and a headache. So it looks like I will have to hunt out some paracetamol in awhile. Waved DH off to work half an hour ago and have basically just sat at the dining table doing errr nothing..lol. Oh wait I made a cup of tea and fed the cats their biscuits. Better feed birdies outside in a minute otherwise I might have a full scale bird riot - don't fancy Mr and Mrs Dove divebombing the french doors..lol

    Haven't got a lot planned today as DH is seeing a client in Rugby and then is coming home after lunch - the perks of being a bank manager I suppose, he can decide not to go in to work after his meeting..lol. Only trouble is he comes home and annoys me..hehehe:rotfl:

    Kaz - hugs honey, we're all here for you. If you want to pm then feel free, I'm around somewhere in cyberspace normally all day..:)
    LL good to see you posting honey. Fingers crossed for the CT scan results :) Hugs and love xx
    Kazw I know what you mean about banks, mine has majorly p***ed me off big time - letter from them yesterday saying they are going to take £180 :eek:worth of charges next month, due to bounced direct debits which was their fault for paying some early when the money wasn't in there - and I mean early like two weeks early!! They won't have any of it when I tackled them yesterday so I am taking it higher as per DH's insistance.
    Dippy ack your poor finger, hope it heals soon. :)
    AnW'sMum - aww bless W :) He wanted your farm to be in the spirit of Halloween, but 5FV as well as the FC, yikes!!!
    Oh no Onestep hope it is nothing major with your PC. I would be totally lost without my lappy. As you say thank gods for internet enabled phones :T
    Welcome Back MrsB :) Now don't go disappearing again, do you hear?
    Eeeek Toots, attendance records? Woohoo on finding your birth certificate, don't put it somewhere so safe that you forget where you put it :rotfl: Saying that I don't know where mine is...:eek:
    Willow you are doing well honey :)
    msgnomey hope you start to feel better soon, don't overdo it though.
    Mudders hugs for you and Stripes :)
    xx Jo xx sounds like you had a perfect evening :)

    Lots of people in need of hugs at the moment - must be the dark nights drawing in - turning menfolk funny!

    Hope all fingers, dogs, loved ones, etc are on the up.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

  • Morning all!


    Well after 11 o'clock yesterday nosedived! I was on my way out to work and I somehow trapped my finger in the door hinge! It was cut quite badly and it took ages to get a plaster on it - I went quite dizzy at one point!

    Managed to cycle to school where a first aider sorted me out..

    Lunch time service from hell! Whilst clearing plates I slipped on some spilled lasagne and landed on my backside - which was bruised alongside my ego!

    Hoping today is better - fingers crossed!
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j
