    Welcome to the world Fabian George {little blue piglet!} Congrats to all the family!


    Well, I finished off my wardrobe, had another minifling, clothes all sorted and tidy. I still have the top shelf to sort, but really it's just a box of handbags, a box with my wedding dress and related bits, and a box of my husbands things. So really just needs tidying into proper boxes and putting in the loft.

    Bathrooms sorted, but not much else done. Kitchen trashed and conservatory too. And the windowsill of doom has crept up again...

    Oh well, onwards and upwards.

    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
    Hope your feeling much better now and i'm sure having a spaniel however nervous will help lift anyones spirits

    Pigpen - congrats on the new tiny Fabian, hope Mum and Dad are ok

    LameWolf - hope the ulcer goes down very soon

    Today has been a flying failure, went to get DD's haircut this morning, visited market and bought 21/2 lbs of strawbs, came hone and hulled and cut them up ready for jam making in the morning. Mum came round in the afternoon and then DH had a 2nd interview this evening for a job - which he was offered, yeah!! So pleased for him, money is about the same for the 1st 6 months and then there is a slight raise so we're still poor but its nearer home and for a far more professional company.

    Flying will begin again in the morning

    Congrats to your DS and his GF piggers

    And to Helenjelly's DH - if he's closer to home hopefully you'll save a bit on transport.

    CBA to do anything tonight, although I might set the DW off as it takes ages... Tomorrow is clearing up and packing up, and checking on the impact of the storm before heading home.
