    Brilliant news Mr FPK, there we go, reason to kick those niggly little feelings about having to pay for the trip right on outa here. You two are clawing your way to better futures.

    Poor little rabbits Possession. :( They need some freshly picked dandelions this evening ;)

    No worries Mrs. LW..and title of book duly noted! OH has just texted to say he has passed his exam--just as I was finishing up morning work so will wait for him to get home and have lunch together before he disappears for the last of his preparations for tomorrows. Got much further this morning than yesterday. Must be the sunshine!

    Congratulations to Mr FPK :D

    Thanks all. I passed on the congratulations to Mr. FPK who I think is secretly pleased. He has tunnelled away again to study for tomorrow. We had a nice lunch together and cleaned out the fridge..back to work now.
  • Poor Bunnies!!!!! lots of TLC when they have gotten over the anaesthetic and are properly awake again eh? It's very muggy and airless here at the moment, quite uncomfortable so I'm not walking the boy until later on when it cools off a little. You know you're baby is growing up when she invites you to stay for the weekend to look for 'Wedding Underwear' and then has to explain to a pink round the edges parent that she doesn't mean 'THAT' kind of underwear, but something sensible that won't show under the wedding dress!!!!! Phew, narrow escape methinks..... mind you, I'd have gone anyway!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Bad Mumi xxx.

    :eek: I've gone all blush now.

    Having never worn a wedding dress (I wore cream trousers and a strapless mint bodice) I cannot be of any assistance apart from say full pant in skintone, specialising in no VPL but that definitely won't be in the that category.

    :rotfl:Lyn? Fancy going underwear shopping - you're very excited about this aren't you? :) I never would have put you amongst the frills and bright lights of the department store... but it's for the wedding!! :D

    Fuddle I got spearmint teabags from Sainsbugs a while back. I think it was doublemint or 3-mint or something. In the tea section beside the fancy fruit and herbal teas.

    As nuatha pointed out--there is so much money that just never gets used, if I look hard enough I'm bound to find something! Furthermore, I had not thought of asking to be a helper! I've done it before at local conferences don't know why it didn't occur to me!

    Just taking a break, and therefore trying to catch up.
    FPK try http://www.gmvss.net/gmfunding as a starting point. You may also find it worthwhile to see if any of the Trade Unions still offer some sponsorship and grants.

    wow, Nuatha, that is amazing! I'll have a proper search either tonight or tomorrow, and I'll definitely share this with some of my colleagues and will probably pass it to our postgrad director to send round. She is great about sharing what comes across her desk but it tends to be a bit piecemeal.

    I shall pick them some dandelions and a nice sprig of hawthorn since I've discovered I have a large rabbit food tree in my garden! Very MSE.
    I've just spoken to the vets and they are fine which is a weight off my mind. We've set up a run for them in the dining room so that they don't need to go up ramps or be picked up or jump on the sofa.
    Has anyone seen the pollution index in Singapore? I have quite a few friends in Singapore and my facebook is full of it. There are illegal fires in Sumatra (presumably loggers) and the pollution index in Singapore reached 290 this morning, the highest ever recorded. 300 is hazardous.
