    Kaz what a lovely surprise

    Boddy big hugs for you. Mothers Day (sorry PenPen I know you like to call it Mothering Sunday) will be tough and you don't have to smile through it you know xx

    DS2 has enjoyed his KFC platter as a birthday (once a year) treat.

    Just need to get DS3 to bed before Love Thy Neighbour

    well i have not been flying at all!! have sold my house and started my new job so with the fact that i dont have to keep the house pristine any more - thank god it was only on the market for 6 days or i would not have been able to keep it up - and the fact that im at work all the time i have no time. ive not even been able to read all your lovely posts!! so i have decided to keep up with posts and at least do level one. this has got to be better than pushing all the bits and bobs in to the corner of the room hopefully.

    kaz can't see the problem of moderation on two groups. Congrats on the eternity ring. I didn't get one at 5 years. Although the fact that I gave up working on a very good salary to set up on my own with DH's support was definitely reward enough. Going from a 60+ hr week to being able to decide at lunchtime today to take hound for a walk is priceless.

    OH had to go to Peterborough for a meeting yesterday. He rang about 4pm to say he should be in York by 5.30 .....
    He finally arrived in York about 9.10 - DS went to get him and he got home just before 9.30. Alll caused by an 'incident on the line' at Grantham!

    My mate almost had to attend that incident the other day :( the woman must have been so desperate to do what she did.

    I believe there's still 3 pairs of Mr LW's pyjamas stored in the loft (he hasn't used them since I moved in with him) so I guess I'd borrow those.:D


    :rotfl::rotfl:Might be worth having at least 1 pair somewhere a bit more accessable jic!


    Pigpen sorry to hear things are not good round your gaff at the mom, hope it get's sorted soon.

    Kazw what a lovely suprise :) DH got me my eternity ring when Miss A was born :D Hope you have a good trip.

    piggers you don't do hugs? Sorry, didn't realise. What do you do instead? Other than fume:rotfl:

    Hugs should sometimes be 'get a grips' but they have a place..

    Cups of tea and biscuits are good.. and thunderbolts and the fleas of a thousand camels inflicted on the perpetrator of my ire is fine.
