    Hi all - I have literally only just grabbed today's list - but you may be sure it's not getting done tonight!:p Prob not tomorrow either, as I have a large amount of raspberries awaiting jamming, and that needs to be done tomorrow.:o

    I'm 'orribly out of date with what's been happening, so (((HUGS))) sticks, spoons, congrats, commiserations and boots up the bum for BDs and deadbeat OHs as appropriate.;)

    I think I may have mislaid a couple of months' worth of spoons in Belgium, so will be trying at least to pace myself for the foreseeable. (Yeah, I know, famous last words!):D

    Anyways - I think I must still be on Belgium time (1 hour ahead of ours) as I'm certain I can hear my bed calling for me.:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    welcome to all the new people and returners - especially

    TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG where have you beeeeeeeeeeeeen??? how lovely to see you honey - gosh imagine you not being 40 on wednesday - dont stress its a great age -wish I could turn the clock back to then! Hows the puddies?

    :wave: Helloooooo Toots.

    Not quite sure 'where' I've been really. I just don't seem to be able to get my head round flying properly in this house for some reason :undecided:undecided. In fact I'm toying with moving again.:undecided:undecided

    And just what is that weird looking number thing you refer to?
    40, me? Nope, I'll most definitely be 39yrs and 12 mths:D:D

    Puddies are fine. In fact they have multiplied and we now have 2 more babies. A ginger tabby girl called Sockey and a black, white and tabby boy called Cheeky Charlie/Fluffy. (Miss Tag wants Fluffy I want Charlie). Both 11 weeksish old. That's it though, no more.

    WTG on your ebaying. Selling 73 out of 100 :T:T

    Right, on a flying front, the kitchen surfaces have been cleared and wiped twice and now it looks like a tornado has been through it again *sigh, sigh and double sigh*

    So, I'm giving up and going to bed too read! I have to be up early anyway as DS is off on a uni taster to Bournemouth tomorrow for 4 days. I have to drop him off at the train station at 7.15am and then on to work for me.

    TTFN and see you all tomorrow, hopefully with a better 'flylady' head on my shoulders. xx

  • WOWSERS I went outside for some late night shopping (24 loo rolls for £7 in lidl! Bargain!) and it is so warm! It's like being on holiday :D:D love it.

    Ordered a takeaway because dammit, I [strike]deserve[/strike] want one.

    Uropa the bathroom window doesn't open. And there's an extractor fan, which doesn't turn on. :eek: On second thoughts maybe it wasn't just the tenants' fault ;)
    I tried PLIERS on that window lock and it wasn't happening. :eek:

    Briar House? Not anymore :( used to be there with our dog as he had an ongoing bill and she'd let me pay it off weekly. The cats are at Pets at Home

    Yes, we were able to do that some years ago when our cat stumbled across some barbed wire :eek:

    Why did you go to PAH? Not heard good reports. Are they better than people say?

    I would imagine they are a lot like Medivet - lure you in with discounted vaccinations/microchipping/routine stuff, but if your pet is actually ill they fleece you :(
    Is it worth ringing around, if the urgency has gone (had ABs)?
