  • Morning all :wave:

    I'm online at work, internet being installed at new flat on Friday, can't wait!

    Happy birthdays to those I have missed
    Lou - hope you got to say goodbye to your nan
    Camelot - congrats, love the name!

    I'm really not feeling too well :( vertigo is playing up massively. Last night everytime I tried to stand up I'd get so dizzy I'd fall over :( It's a bit better today but still not great. I went to hospital for blood tests fri, but that was more a general MOT rather than just the vertigo. If it continues like this then I'm going to take my parents up on offer of paying for a private consultation.

    I had to come into work today as had a visit to do this morning and everyone else was off or busy, but think I'll head home at lunch.

    Not been doing much OS other than washing and tidying, but did cook big pot of HM pasta sauce last night and have frozen the LO's. Getting back in the swing of it now that I'm all unpacked. BM will go on later.

    Have a good day all

    Morning all.

    OOOOOh Camelot, what lovely names. Well done to the proud Mum and Dad

    Had every intention of mucking out the kitchen cupboards first thing this morning but a series of phone calls and a couple of visitors has put paid to that. Every other minute today is accounted for. Rummaging through the freezer for food today, trying to use up a few ancient relics, most of them unlabelled and undated. It makes meals that bit more exciting when no-one has a clue what they are going to be eating, (including me). I MUST mend my ways.

  • Morning all,

    Sorry to hear you aren't doing so well flutter by, hope you get an answer soon.

    Lots to do today again, dh is off shortly for an exam for work purposes, he has been studying for days.

    Have god days all, take care.

    Morning all

    Congrats to Camelot-what a lovely name.

    Hester-hope the car is not too expensive!

    Flutterby hope you get rid of the poorlies soon!

    Well I'm going to the gym in a moment-just waiting for this shower of rain to stop as I don't want to take the car-it's only round the corner.

    Sausage casserole for tea tonight-hoping for leftovers for tomorrow!

    Not a lot to say-a bit of flying to do this afternoon and hope I can put the washing out when I get back.

    Have a good afternoon all.

    Gintot

    So many of us are not sleeping properly. Wonder why?

    well my reason is covered in fur with 4 legs. She came pestering to go outside at 4.30am which quite frankly is too bloomin' early so I tried ignoring her for 45 mins whilst she chirped and knocked stuff off the bedside tables etc. Finally she got launched out of the back door.

    Am tired (makes a change) and I have the start of the kids cold coming :( Fantastic my last week of work, holiday to pack and prep for and I am going sick :mad: anyway am taking eccinachea (sp!) so will see how things go.
    Raining here so stuck indoors with the kids. I need to make a loaf and make some cakes, I think the kids can help with the latter ;)
    Have a day off tomorrow so need to check the weather as I have plans to take kids to Black Country Museum if it's dry. I haven't been there since I was a kid :D At least now I am of an age I could go in the pub ;) Pity I've got the kids with me LOL

    Camelot - Well done to your DD and beautiful name. We don't appear to be FB friends so I am gonna miss any pics :(

    Candy - don't stress it, you can't plan for a labour so they'll have to suck it up ;)

    JA - Happy Birthday to your dad xx

    Bargainbird - Well done to your H :T

    Cranky - glad you had a good time in Cork :)

    Sorry if I've missed anything. Hugs and spoons all round. have a great day OS or not.

    Glad you found Waitrose. Know what you mean about the weather. I was in ski thermals at the tattoo on Saturday. Currently sitting in front of the TV wrapped in a slanket. I refuse to turn the heating on.

    Afternoon All

    Thanks for all your good wishes for the baby, off to see her this evening. It had to be my first day back at work for 6 weeks today or I would have snook up there earlier! I will take lots of photos so will share them later. BBird and BitsyB of course you can be my friend!

    Flutterby - I think it's time for you to get a second opinion regarding the vertigo, this seems to be going on a long time.
    Bitsy, feel better soon.
    JA - hope your dad enjoys his birthday.

    Sorry for anything I've missed, head somewhere else today! Take Care. XX
