    Morning all. Another brand new day. I nearly forgot about the census form!!! Will do that first, then the ironing, then the marking. Am trying to hide up here out of his way.

    awwww SW, it's not right. Your parents are visiting and you should be spending time with them, not hiding away. :(

    Steve is right, you should have teflon shoulders. By that I mean, just let everything that you don't want to hear, slide right off your head and shoulders and take no notice.

    Have a good day. Sun is coming out, hopefully will be warmer than yesterday.

    My brace is feeling better!! Its still an !!!! to eat, but otherwise its ok. Just rubbing my lips but i'm gunna try and not put anything over it today.

    I've just had to massage my dogs leg. I think he enjoyed it because he's nodding off on my foot. Good job its the good one!

    I filled out my part of the census, i better remind mum to send that off. I felt quite proud ticking off the qualification parts :D Only time they've been used in some years ha.

    Evening gang - it stayed very cold most of the day - mind you the sun came out for an hour or so as we were packing up - typical :mad: :mad: Ah well, at least it stayed dry. Still no money about but I made another £23 for the doggies making [STRIKE]£160[/STRIKE] £176 so far :j :j and Mr 3dogs had an OK day :D

    We ate at the cafe down at the car boot when we had finished to save cooking when we got home - jacket potato actually done in the oven, not microwave, with chilli - yum yum yummy

    Just been trying to do accounts since I got back, plus Mr 3Dogs is playing some vinyl on his record deck - fantastic :T

    He is just taking the 2 doggies out now for a good walk, and I am taking Bonnie along to my friends so he can take her with my friend's dog Misty - and I will have my cuppa and chat round there

    Actually, talking about cuppas & tea - I must mention that my next door neighbour who lives on his own knocked on our door yesterday asking if I had plenty tea bags :rotfl: He had run out and asked for 7 tea bags to see him through and was determined to pay me 21 p for them - it must have been all he had left for the week I think - I gave him a large handfull of PG T!ps tea bags and off he trotted, happy as a little monkey :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'll be back on here when I come back home from my friends - tarra for now x :cool:

    Shredder is alive but it gets over heated rather quickly and then needs a long rest.

    Hope everyone has had a good day.

    DD was sick last night :( she is ok now thou. Need to go and make her bed as it was a bit messy so mega cleaning up this morning. Hopefully her duvet has dried by now.

    Feeling so much better for getting that stuff shredded even than there is still a massive pile to sort out and also for finally having uncluttered bedroom. Did some Zumba today, only to learn some of the basic steps and I was out of breath. Can't wait to get going properly. Must get the census thingy done - pah... I need to decide if I speak English very well or well, BF seemed to think that I only speak it well. Ho hum...

    I've just edited my last post as every one knows that £153 + £23 = £176 and not £160 which is what I put as total raised so far :o:o:o:o

    Kit - hope you get your work done OK tonight hun :D

    Marru - glad you got the shredder to work, even in short spurts - sorry to hear the DD was ill and hope she is OK for school tomorrow. Good luck with the Zumba and with the census form too - I think you write English very well, so I assume you speak it very well too petal :T :T

    Hiya Beanie hun x

    I think you write it very well. Census form was v quick but as startagain said that is 'cos we live alone good luck with filling it in. I filled in my parents as guests so i had an extra page. I felt rather proud. A bit of a non event for me. Has it always asked so few questions?

    I have 7 assignments to mark. Wont take long maybe an hour i hope. It is starting to darken outside now. I do like it when the clocks change!
