I've been doing the kitchen - because it needed it most. Just having a snack as I have a Governors meeting in an hour, I usually cycle but it is too windy. Toots hope you are ok in the wind and haven't lost electricity.
Jetbag hugs for you, I cannot imagine how you ever start to live on

Toots - it's calmed down up on the north coast, hopefully that'll spread throughout the rest of the country fairly soon. I nearly got blown over getting the bin down the drive, only grabbing the gate stopped me landing on my backside!
OH has come home, taken one look round the living room, given me a big hug and is now cooking beef olives for dinner0 -
Jetbag I'm so sorry to hear that, it must be so tough. I'm sure my customers/pals will get through it (hopefully) their son and his wife however and the young mans sister (who I know) however. I dread to think.
Thank guys-again *mwah*
My prefab walls were moving in the wind :eek: :eek: the rabbits however are completley nuts and love it, their ears are mint to watcherm actually one was on top of the other at it like errr rabbits, theyre supposed to be both girls :eek:
I've got the tea in the oven, made a few brews, text OH for a while and chatted to littley, teenie has been told b ut probs more calmer than he deserved, he no longer is using my phone, he's been told to pay me back and to get his phone sorted and usable, probably went in one ear and out the other, but there's no way he's using my phone again.
Off to tidy something, dont know what, anything will do.0 -
lol embb... mine sit facing the wind to their ears flap like flags... and the cats kill everything.. fence, grass, leaves, washing... each other!.
Jetbag.. so sad to hear you lost yor son.. it seems so wrong to lose a child whatever their age.(((hugs))) My nephew was killed in a motorbike accident just before his 21st birthday. The guy driving the lorry is being tried now.. it has been very very drawn out.. the original court date was my nephews 22nd birthday! We had far too many taken too soon that year.
TD on with Squeaks washing.

Weather here atrocious. Oz looks like he's in a wind tunnel when we go out. He's discovered another way of asking for a walk - pick his ball out of the box of doggie stuff next to the door and drop it in my lap:D Seriously not happening. He's been out twice today and I've been soaked both times.
No flying today. Feeling yuck. Still doing the retching in the morning thing, now its progressed to keeping me awake at night and occasionally actually bringing up bile (sorry probably TMI) I'm just getting sick of it - its been going on for almost six months now and they seem to have no idea. Still got bruises from DH blood taking last Monday. Next he's said it will be a laproscopic job. Yuck.
Sorry to vent. Just getting sick of it.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -
