    Hugs and spoons all round, especially for some of you, LW, Lou, Jac and Dazi.
    Thanks Bitsy I sure could use 'em today!:o

    Bramble OMG that's really worrying; Pup really really needs to learn not to thieve; he's going to do himself a real injury one of these days. Hoping to goodness he's OK.

    Thankfully Oz doesn't touch food left out. However, he will open the fridge to snaffle a carrot, and so far this week we have had slippers, gloves, welly socks, house shoes and shopping bags taken into the back garden. He has a serious abandonment complex and if I leave him alone anything in the hallway is fair game. Grrrr

    He doesn't normally take things, and would never have dared if one of us was in.

    It was partly my fault for not putting it away, and his fault for being greedy. It's hard to teach him when we didn't catch him in the act...and i'm sure it wasn't the rabbit that took it!

  • Evening all

    Happy birthday to TopsyTurvy and Mr Mummysaver! :bdaycake:

    LW - hope you feel better soon

    What a horrible day weather wise! It's poured down all day, driving conditions were awful :eek:. I had to drive to Haverfordwest today which is about an hour 15mins away. Went for meeting, got a free lunch :) and a catch up with an ex-colleague.

    I may be MIA til Friday as I'm away with work on the residential trip in Pembroke. But I'll hopefully have internet access in the day as I need to pop back to office for visits etc, and am back for uni on Weds. Lots of driving for me this week!!

    OS wise - WM on, will place on airer now, DW will go on later, made HM curry for tea with all the left over veg and pots I had in fridge.

    I need to pack for my trip, lots of warm clothes, even though I won't be doing the outdoor pursuits due to vertigo1 It will still be chilly there!

    Have a good evening all

    evening!

    not read the thread yet sorry.

    Been a carp day at work - meeting to discuss shifts got rather heated:cool: we got nowhere as expected.

    3 years today since my best friend died, miss her so much. Had an email today from Mr MSD - with some wonderful photos of Divas last birthday.She looked gorgeous and so happy. Such a sad time at the moment for lots of people.:(

    OS - I made 6 individual cheese and potato pies - we had 3 for tea and will freeze the rest.

    WM is on its second load. House clean and tidy. DS2 is midway through tackling his pigsty:eek: I threatened him with a Justin Beiber cd if he didn't do it:D

    DS1 is still with his partner but things are still rocky there.

    thats about it from me - will catch up later x x x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Evening all,

    Just thought I would pop in with some good news for a change. Just realised we won £78 on the lottery at wkend:j:j
    Next DH's work car which has been off the road for 2mnths as we haven't been able to afford to fix it is back on the road. He has been doing lots of research and has managed to get a second hand part for it which he has put on and its working:j:j he is very pleased with himself as it has saved us a fortune and I am very pleased with him too;)
    They say good luck comes in threes so lets hope so. Maybe I will get the job, lets hope so. :D

    ETA Taplady sorry your having a bad day have a (((hug)))
