    Hi All,

    Yesterday was a no-fly zone for me, as wasn't up early enough to get anything done before work & was out with the girls last night, but today will be better! (It needs to be as very little flying likely to get done tomorrow ( Day off then concert in eve)). This morning I managed DW - empty & re-fill, sort out sink + WM on x 1. Failed miserably at getting the washing on the line though, which has irritated me as I can now see glorious sunshine outside). :-( + :-) all at once!

    Happy Birthday to PenPen & Willow - hoping you have a wonderful day!
    Mrs B - Hope DD picks up soon & the HA sort the Bath out.
    MSG - That's a lot of tabs hon, hope they do what they're supposed to & that they don't make you rattle!
    Sxy - Hoping the pain subsides & you get the 'all clear' on tha ppendix front shortly.
    Serena - Fingers are crossed for SIL
    Mudbath - Sending healing thoughts for Stripes
    Diddly - Congrats on your results!
    Crafty - Hope the Flu Jab went smoothly.
    Vanilla - Poor DD :-( Hoping she has a much better day today.

    Hugs & Spoons to Toots, LL, LW & all who want/need them.

    Thanks to All for the support & motivation, have become rather fond of you all!

    Dippypud oh, bless – just make sure the kitties don't try to get into the WM!:eek:

    Diddly congratulations on the exam result.:beer:

    Seafarers I'm so glad your ring turned up; that happened to me once, and the flippin' thing turned up months later in my knicker drawer! Gods alone know how it got there, or where it had been in the interim.:cool:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
