*faints*

KH has agreed to swap a weekend with me..

then he remembered he had to ask about the following weekend when he is doing the Edinburgh marathon or some such crap.. but... I also gave him holiday dates and said if he wants any extras days to let me know... *giggle*

One for the non-fb-ers ... I forgot there are some of those

Had an email re the file handover scheduled for 17th April (for those not up to date on the saga, I'm handing over one third of one lot of voluntary paperwork I do).

ooh, something occurred to me. How familiar are they with the paperwork? Because maybe you need to set some rules on when and for how long you are available to them to give advice on what you were doing as well as confirming methods of contact. But I'm sure you'll give them a Wolfie stare on the day and bring them back to reality PDQ;)

Right, I'm off to see the programme on Filthy Cities which is recording in the living room. Shame they didn't think of giving out scratch and sniff cards:rotfl:

Awwwww, are you sure that little angel child kept you up last night Pigpen?

Just downloading my new relaxation tape the GP recommended I buy - it has a warning on it not to drive/operate heavy machinery or have a bath whilst listening to it so hopefully I'll soon be pushing out the zzzzzzzs!

Goodnight all x

They did - in the Radio Times. DH works in sewage (not literally!) & says the sewage scratch 'n' sniff is quite authentic!

cheers m'dears!

Might your dad just have bunged up ears and need them syringing? A few drops of oil (olive or veg not engine!) before bed a couple of nights migh help loosen any gunk. Or he might try candling.. it is very effective by all accounts.

Thanks I will put him on my to do list.

What a lovely baby you have.


I have had to go back to parent's house. My Mum got stuck in the kitchen and was crying when I arrived. My Dad was upstairs. I had to clean kitchen and rearrange it so she has room to move around. My Dad seems to not to realise that she needs room to walk with a frame. I thought it was stressful with her being in a home. :undecided

Well I did the bathroom and S&S the kitchen and then hoover and threw the girls junk out of the loung so house looks respectable again. Thankfully I had dusted and dustbunnied the lounge yesterday. Also managed HHE by taking woof for a trot so 2 jobs in one there!

Not sure what I will get done tomorrow as topic book walk around at school in the afternoon so may get an hour at home after work before heading out there again.

Pigpen - you little one is adorable! I remember when my two were like that - they were the easy days looking back now lol! Not sure how you cope with the range of ages you have with your brood!

Jinky well done on the weight loss:T:T
katiecat thats good news about your Dad )))hugs)))
mamaninie - you are tired honey so dont be so hard on yourself - can you have an early night to try and re-charge the batteries?
helen j hop the AB's kick in soon and you feel better (((hugs))) and remember you cant go near your MUm while you are not well in case you pass something on;)
Kazm nice to see you cracking the whip honey (((hugs)))
LW have you thought about doing an in depth written step by step idiot guide for the new person and then you wouldnt have to go? you could give them your email addy so they could come back with any queries - the DM sounds a right dipstick but should be able to deal with the handover without you! Just a thought!
Kazw my condolences for DH's loss - very sad when its the last link - as you say there is not a lot you physically can do but just being with him is the most important thing - showing him your love and support will see him through - ((( hugs))) to you both xx
:hello:embb ooooooooooooooh how did I miss that - :easter_ba_party_:EasterBun:icotbaske:bdaycake::kisses3:Happy Birthday hope you have had a brilliant day honey xxxx

Toots - glad it is for positive reasons. Is there anything anoyne can do to help? have you found the moving house websites where they tell everyone fo ryou?

Hands are bad after a busy weekend cleaning and gradening so please excuse typos. Glad it is mostly just my hands now. have you been overdoing it - hope the hands ease off soon

Boys have been total stars and done lots for me so we should end tonight fairly tidy.

:T:T:T:T well done to the boys. Yes I believe my PA:cool: has been checking the websites and at last check we were on schedule despite thte fact that we should have started about 4 weeks ago:rotfl: .....I wish you could help but you are bit toooo far away unless the elephant needs a hike!!! another brain and extra hands would be helpful and 48 hours in the day - but hey apart from that I am getting there!!! (((hugs)))
Mumto5 hope MUm is doing ok (((hugs))) to you all.
cycling wow what a milestone for DD1 - I am glad she like her haircut - thats a big ego boost too.

Are you sure? It's not a problem :D NO thank you!!!!!!!

Stop reading the newspapers and use them instead to chase the BD away. I don't often read the papers as there is very little good news in them as good news does not sell as well as bad IMO. I totally agree - I just read the good bits online!!!


PA duties commenced for the day :A:A:A:A:A
:coffee: being drunk while I check online banking and do the money shuffle

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I totally missed the smilie of the cup and wondered how on earth you were drunk in the morning....oops!!!:D

Triker ((hugs))) hope your day hasnt been too bad
pigpen lovely photo and glad all is well at the moment (((hugs)))

dancemum sorry to hear about your Dad and I hope its something simple like wax build-up - and that your Mum is improving! have a (((hug))) eta it will take a while for her to adjust to the different space from the home but I am sure she would much rather be at home - would it be possible to remove any furniture for a while?


I hope I havent missed anyone - My brain is trying to deal with too many different things at the moment.

I am also speaking to my 'PA';) at the moment doing an update on where I have got to and checking out new WMs!

love and hugs to everyone
