    Morning All

    I'm not use to seeing you this early piggers! Try and get some rest as well as running about.

    I didn't get the job but I didn't expect to get it though when I found out it was for the nursery - when did I find this out? - at the interview!

    Meeting a friend for a drink this morning and then possibly visiting another school later - I need to do the application form as well at some point before tomorrow but I could do it this evening if need be and drop it in on my way out tomorrow.

    Not sure when I'm going to fit any flying in.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning everyone, had a terrible week flying, started off pretty well Monday but got gradually worse from there to the point that I did nothing yesterday. Think I'm in a bit of a slump this week and need to try and pull myself out if it. Hopefully I can catch up on the jobs that really need doing. Hope everyone has a good day :) x

    Morning everyone, hope we are all well:D

    Wow can’t believe it’s before 7.45am and I am showered and dressed – what the heck happened there..lol

    Have been out to feed the birds in the garden, but they are rather slow in getting up. Woody has been down and has been strutting around the garden.. I think he has been letting everyone know he is back!! Mr and Mrs Dove are still asleep in the tree I think, I can see two huddled little grey things, but I doubt if it will be too long before they get up seeing as the sun is shining directly on their tree.. :D


    Just hunting around for a chicken pie receipe in my cook books, all I want is a simple one and do you think I can find one. I am going to go through my Easy Cook mags later either that or might just blag it.. It was the filling with the chicken that I wasn’t sure on :o.

    Yikes Piggers you’re up and about early. does this mean that ‘cos you aren’t around for a few days that Dot has decided to make an appearance early.. We’ll all be good we promise. :D
