    Good morning

    DS2 off school again (missing out on trip to York :(, but I've promised to take him at the weekend or in holidays). Hoping that DS1 will look after him from lunchtime so I can do half a day at school.

    Not feeling too great myself yet, so I'll use time productively for another nap. I've already checked e-mails and had a call from the union rep, so things are ticking over. I hate to feel ill when the weather is so lovely for a change. Bloomin' cold.

    Hope everyone has a good day. x

    If you fancy some pointers for a trip to York give me a shout!

    Thanks, cy. Will do. We could meet for a coffee, too, if you like. Will pm you when I know more.

    Had my nap and feel a bit brighter. Time for food, then I'll get ready for work and pass childcare duties on to DS1.

    Hi everyone :hello:

    Bonnie_bumpkins asked me to come back lol so here I am as requested.
    Life hasn't been too good and I ended up not having the mental energy to even lurk :(
    Aww, Wendy is it anything Flylady vibes would help with? Not asking for details, just a "yes" will do.;) Have a Wolfy (((HUG))) in any case.:o
    If only all the boards were as supportive as old style!
    :T:T:TWell said! Couldn't have put it better myself!

    I'm so glad I wasn't holding a cup of coffee when I read that!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Molly I recognised it immediately as a parody of "Stayin' Alive", but I used to make a naughty habit of writing parodies of pop songs.;):D
    I did a very long one to "I Will Survive" a long time ago - I may even still have it somewhere!:rotfl:

    Oh shoot, I've run out of quotes to use (limit is 3, I believe).

    OK....

    Bossy if I was able-bodied, I'd be over in a shot to help with the decorating; it's something I used to be good at, having even painted an awkward stairwell myself on one occasion, and I've hung loads of wallpaper in my time.:o With the patterns matching up, I might add!:D

    Macpep I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's Dad.:(

    Greenbee an earthquake?!:eek: You sure do visit some interesting places!
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
