    Morning all :hello:

    happy birthday willow!!
    Hugs for sick dogs .. It's not so long since I lost my old girl, so I can feel for you. Still hurts now, they leave such a gap.

    Am so glad it's the bedroom today!! I stand a slim chance of catching up ;)
    My extras are:
    go to parents' house, do dust/vacuum & wait for some furniture to be collected
    go to sister's house, pick up dad's tablets to go in hold luggage for Portugal next week
    start packing for Portugal
    do more sewing (got to be done for Sunday!)
    think that'll do, seeing as it's got to fit in the school day together with some paid work & flying..

    Have a good day everyone

    65 days till christmas la la la!

    Good morning ya'll just thought I'd pop that in! I haven't been flying much I'd like as placement is taking up loads of my time, driving up to 40 miles each way to see operations and clinics. Just doing my best to stay on top of the grunge by S&S daily the hotspots of kitchen and bathroom and doing best to make sure piles of carp don't accumulate. Children don't help much on that front, although my DD1 did hoover all thru for me yesterday :) On a plus note I did find out I got an A on my exam so that was a relief. :)

    Back on an early shift today and I want to do some baking when I get home before Brownies. DD2 is taking her promise at Brownies tonight as all the local packs celebrate the centenary of the Brownies at 20:10 on the 20/10/2010 and they will all be renewing their promises then too. It feel a very special occassion.

    Have a good day!

    I had to reread this Mrs B, I was convinced I had read you had a new bath plumbed into your bedroom..:rotfl:

    It goes along with thinking that I had read that Kaz had hoovered her cat last week - can't remember if it was something else to do with a cat or hoovering..lol

    :rotfl::rotfl: How funny you are!!! Thankfully the installation wasn't THAT bad!!!:rotfl:

    Mrs Beatson how blooming annoying - hope they get things sorted quickly - no fun for you (((hugs)))

    toots xx

    Thanks toots xx

    Best crack on then, kitchen and living room look RUBBISH, thanks to kiddies, which is very annoying after all my hard work the last couple of days, so I'm going to do those (again) first grrrr.
    Can't blame DD as she has been led on sofa for last week with pneumonia (as those on my FB will know), Doctor phoned me yesterday to say he'd now seen her xray and it was worse then he thought so has given her MORE medication! Poor kid :(

    ETA Hellyboo I would like to pinch your signature for my FB status today, if you don't mind!

    onwards & upwards, ladies, onwards and upwards

    Mrs B xx
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
    Mrs B you're a legend.
