    Morning all, i woke yesterday with a runny nose and now i have a full blown head cold. :mad: Managed very little flying yesterday but we did have a snow ball fight and build a snow man. :rotfl:

    Plan today is get as much done as i can, gonna need to go to the shop to at some point but will need the lane done first.

    Wheelie bins didn't get emptied yesterday so had to be brought back up the lane again, not easy when there completely full. I just hope they get emptied before christmas. :(

    Hubby still in a crappy mood and i think i know why, nothing to do with anyone just his meds so phone call made and one med now reduced and is to be built up slowly. He didn't have one available to him for 2 weeks and then he went on full dose which has made him very dizzy. Hopefully now he'll build it up, it's a mood stabaliser(sp) so thats why his mood is so crap. :(

    Greenbee big hugs and i really hope things work out.
    Mudders well done to your DS.:T

    Kids up so i best get breakkie on and get a cuppa myself. The kids can give a hand today and clean there rooms.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Ooh - Happy Birthday Crafty!

    LadyL I'm sure that Hampshire have probably gritted the A27, so once you've got there, hopefully the journey shouldn't be too bad. Be careful out there though.

    Well the traffic seems to be making it's way down our road ok, so think I'm going to brave it later.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Morning

    Mumof2 - good news about your dog - naughty dog - just like mine, he stole choc but thankfully he can digest it easily, and the other day he stole a chicken leg off DH plate!! Had to do poo monitor to make sure all was ok hehe. I love Strictly so looking forward to tonight

    PenPen - sorry I forgot to say about the redundancy notices - how awful for you all - shocking way to tell you, hope it all gets sorted out to everyone's satisfaction and that those who lose their jobs get new ones very very quickly

    Cyclingyorkie - back soothing vibes on there way to you - I hate back pain

    Vanilla - hugs for you too andfor Mr and Mrs LW

    Crafty - Happy Birthday - hope you have a lovely day

    DS was meant to be a mascot at MK Dons footie game today but again it has been cancelled due to frozen pitch - I hadn't told him about it so he's ok and I'm glad as I didn't fancy being there for 4 hours in this cold weather

    Off to do some from my list now

    Dad has been transferred to the Gastric ward so hoping things get sorted now

    DW, wm, td all on. Dirty clothes gathered up from around the house. DS2 came into the utility room where i was and seen one of Rhys's pressies so i'll have to wrap it and stick it under the tree and say it's from the kiddies. :o

    So as soon as hubby comes back from his ones, i'm gonna open some of the stuff and get it built and put in the attic out of the way. :D

    Now time to get all the bed stripped and remade, my washing piles is seriously getting out of hand so the wm will be on all day.

    Crafty Happy Birthday hope you have a lovely day.:bdaycake:

    The kiddies are eating their tea with no protest - go me - go ANW's Mum!!!!

    Way to go :) well done to you all :T Hope your Dad is on the mend.

    Happy Birthday Crafty :bdaycake:

    It was my last paid work day yesterday this side of Christmas :D and then we were out for our 'do' which was good. I wore a dress! and people commented on the fact that I have legs :rotfl:

    Miss A and W stopped with Nanan and Grandad, who have taken them to swimming lessons this morning.

    The promised snow has not arrived thankfully although it is very cold and icy out there. I am off to thaw out the waste pipe in the cloakroom and reset the boiler :( before going to fine the SW's

    Toots is doing well (forget who asked), I've been in contact this morning.

    Hugs to all those going through tough times just now.
