    Not good that your mam is not eating Susan.

    Hi Beanie, all is good here but am sooo tired. Keep wanting to fall asleep so i might go and have an early night. Have been watching Andrew Marr's Mega Cities and it is superb tv but i really just want to watch something entertaining tonight!!

    Hiya everyone - one my sister's netbook again - I've been down to see Mam who is wide awake today and eating OK - the nurse said she slept all night which is good too. I took my brother home and off-loaded the shopping I had been getting for him, and spent a little while chatting with him as we hardly seem to have time when I am up here as we visit Mam at different times normally. My brother gave me the money for my next train tickets which is good :j :j

    Then I remembered I had a couple of bit's I had to take back to Mr T's that I got last time I was up, so had to pop and get them from my sister's and go up there - no problems getting refund but couldn't walk past the whoopsies so my sister now has some blueberries £1 and lean mince £1.30 ;) and at last Mr T had the Glamour mags in with the freebie Benefit on front so got 3 copies to get all three Benefit items as mag is only £2 at Mr T, half price I think ;) Lots of coupons inside too I believe - something to read on the train and then Mr 3Dogs can sell them on the car boot :D

    Thinking of just getting the Metro up to Newcastle for my train, and going early so I can sort out these other tickets with my voucher. My train is at 5.15 pm, getting home about 7.45 pm. The lift Mr 3Dogs had organised had fallen through but, when he heard this morning, the chap who runs the car boot cafe said he would pick Mr 3Dogs up and drive him over to pick me up, so that's lovely of him

    I am 1st Class going back so get wi-fi all the way, instead of only 15 mins on Standard fare, plus they now give you food and a 'proper drink' depending on time of day, instead of just coffee/tea/soft drink and biccie - so I think I'll make the most of it and have a wine or two on the journey :D:D :beer: :D:D

    Hellooooo, I thought you had left this morning, silly me!!!!

    All is good here. I ordered some jeans from ebay and they fit me and only cost £4 instead of the usual £40 odd!!!! And it is nice to know even though my bum is big i can still get into my size!

    I had a busy day at work. Nice to be home.Hooray for the weekend.

    Well done on the jeans Kit - the price and the size ;);)

    I am on the train now - got my luggage in the rack OK today as train started at Newcastle so first on train ;) but train seems qiet anyway. Got a 2-seater with table to myself, so that's good - and they have already been round with the coffee :D Just pulling out of Durham and it's raining here - it wasn't at Newcastle :eek:

    Glad George is resting - that is all he needs to do now, to recover :A

    With the way Mam was last week, Mr 3Dogs and I both agree that it would be best to come up for short time more regularly - and it would have been a long time till end of July otherwise :(
