    congratulations on your son getting a job pigpen!

    Love the sound of the takeaway book, could really do with one and I haven't decided whether to brave the city today or not.

    Happy moving day jo, hope it all goes well.

    Am still in bed, drinking tea, i suppose i should work up the enthusiasm to get some bits done today, bathrooms are minging, so they definitely need to be done, have fallen behind this week but will catch up over the weekend, really need to do some ebay Flinging as per pigpen, but the motivation really isnt coming!

    Hi all.
    Firstly, Happy Belated Birthday PenPen:beer:; sorry, I just didn't have time to post yesterday evening, as I was running late getting ready for the Mensa meeting.:o

    Natty (((HUGS))) Now, quit apologising for not posting/reading/whatever, and get your health back on track, OK?:o

    Plumber is here, and I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, even with Mr LW here to run interference for me. I do so hate having workmen in the house.:(
    LW - make sure you leave plenty of time - more than you think you need, you can always get a coffee if you arrive very early, but then you can take your time and not feel rushed - it should help reduce some of the stress.
    I shall be leaving at 10:30; my appointment is 11:15, and Mr LW reckons it's a 15 minute drive! (Well, it is for him, I know I shall take longer). That'll give me time to find a parking spot, and enough time to hobble the 30 yards or so from the parking area to the dentist's surgery. (Hoping I can park as close as possible, of course:D). I timed it last week, it took me 10 minutes. I'll take my Nintendo DS in my bag, and if I'm early, I'll wait in the car til it's time to start hobbling;); I can't face sitting in reception, because the receptionist will want to chat, and I can't handle that.

    Meg's moulting, big time, and her owners didn't send a brush with her *rolleyes*. I may put on Mr LW's rubber gloves and see what I can shift off her that way, later on.;) Otherwise..... well, Mr LW does the hoovering around here in any case, so it ain't so bad.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    pigpen congrats for ds1

    xxJoxx good luck with the move. Hope the weather is good. See you Tuesday

    LW take it easy. Let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed you can park close by.

    We are off home after the rugby. I'm dreading seeing the state of the house. May have to keep my eyes closed while getting ready for big dinner/dance tonight.

    Afternoon all

    Concentrating on cleaning the reclaimed brass today so not much flying done.

    I am going to get the winter duvets out and fluffing up over the weekend as we all need them now.

    Had a battle with EON today who thought they would be putting my DD up a shocking £129 per month because we owe them £21 - think not:eek: Have managed to knock them down to £36 a month and starting in December. Not a great month as we have home insurance and one lot of car insurance that month too but still gives us a month.

    Piggers great news on DS1 getting a job. Is DD1 still at college? Lots of youngsters here are struggling to find work too.

    Time for a cuppa and then back to my vinegar, brass cleaner and brasso.
