Mrs mp - LW's on holiday - unless I've lost a week and that was last week in which case she's probably getting herself sorted after being away!

Hello; just surfacing long enough to reassure you all I'm still on Planet Earth.:o

We got back late Saturday, having had the most awful ferry crossing - the lift to the passenger deck malfunctioned and we were stuck in it for ages - a disabled claustrophobe is not the best person to have stuck in a lift!:eek::eek::eek: We also got royally lost, when Mr LW mistook the A3(M) for the M3. *rolls eyes*. Anyways, we got home eventually.;)

Unfortunately, I've been having my usual post-holiday lupus flare - I always push myself to do far more than I should on holiday so that Mr LW isn't wasting the holiday languishing in the hotel room.:o It's OK, it happens every time, and I'd allowed for it. This time I've had a super-duper mouthful of ulcers (2p-sized):eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: so living on soup and scrambled egg!:cool:

I seem to be on the mend now, so hope to be back on the Fly-wagon next week.

Oh, and I had an email today; Lottie Dotty-Dog is coming to stay tomorrow!! Short notice, but she's a little sweetie - very nervous Cocker Spaniel.:o We'll install her in the kitchen and she can trundle through to the lounge when she's ready, that worked last time.:o

Thanks for caring - I wasn't going to post til I was back on track, but I can't have my friends worrying!:o

Oooh - and loads of posi-vibes all the places they're needed.;)

Good luck pigpen's DS's GF and bless them for not having anything ready, I guess it was a shock at 31 weeks :eek: I bet you are a god-send to her, I think I remember you saying she lost her mother fairly recently
:A fairy god-mother piggers :A

Glad you are on the mend and almost back to 'normal' :rotfl: Silly Mr LW on the wrong road Ferry sounds :eek: but I hope it didn't spoil the rest of your holiday. Never been to the IoW myself. Lovely to see you back, I missed you xx

This morning has been crazy, dentist done and i need 2 fillings, lifted OH's bike, got home and followed PIL to the missing cow which has turned up a good bit away (how it got there i'll never know), got it rounded up and brought home while it done it's best to beat up the trailer. Get home and get lunch on to here the boys, thought it can't be half 3 yet so thought i misheard. CPN comes round the kitchen door followed by said boys. School closed because of no water and they had been trying to get in touch. The teacher brought them home...:o

CPN seems happy enough with OH and he left pretty quickly when we mentioned the tummy bug. :rotfl:

Poor teachers arrived up when the yard was full of cattle, so at least she knows we're busy and thats why we didn't get her call. Still feel bad about it...must send something in tomorrow as a thank you.

Plan now is to help OH put his bike together then put the boys to work. Loads to get done....

LW glad your holiday was good..
Pigpen, hope all goes well with the new arrival. I remember having DD at 26 weeks and i had nothing with me. My mum arrived with her famous brown suitcase, with everything i needed. She still has that famous suitcase today..:rotfl:

mrs-moneypenny
