  • Not had chance to read thread but hope everyone is ok and sorry if they are not. Didn't know Diva either but it does sound like I missed out big time. Hope everything goes well for family and friends tomorrow.

    Went to Mr A this morning with a list and the desire to rush around to get back asap to find that they had moved everything around so it took three times as long grr!

    Only had time to put shopping away after decanting it into single sizes and a quick sprint round kitchen and I'm back out in 10mins. Note to self must try harder.

    Evening all

    Jo I hope your DS has had a good birthday.

    Toots how many miles have you cycled?! With all that toing and froing to the shed I reckon you can forgo ooooo abut 20 of those cycle miles ;)

    Great idea about purple all day for Diva tomorrow, not sure if I will get chance to post so will colour this post now.

    Been a busy day at work today but I have negotiated a bottle of red from my boss if I achieve a particular task before 9.30 am tomorrow!! I started negotiations by asking for a pay rise (which none of us are getting :( ) and said I would settle for the bottle! He thought he was going to get away with a chocolate bar, silly boy :rotfl:

    No beavers tonight as W is now a cub :D so I have my Thursday nights back :j Miss A is at a roller blading party so no bell ringning either tonight.

  • not done anything really today, have done more dishes and thats about it, got OH home and the cat is jealous of him :rotfl: OH got swiped by the cat god knows how many times, so he is going to be taking over the feeding and watering of the cat for the next few days so that jinks gets used to him again.

    just roasting a chicken for dinner tomorrow and going to have a roast chicken sarnie shortly.

    love hugs and spoons to those that need em.

    Very little done this week. Tonight I have WM/TD a load of washing and emptied all the bins and the dyson, and the litter tray so I can put the bin out.

    I will be remembering Diva and Thinking of her family and partner tomorrow. Don't forget the candles
