    Afternoon all

    Been missing most of this week (my mother's rather poorly), so looks like loads to catch up on! Hugs and lots of love to you all, whether for good or bad news. :kisses3::grouphug:

    I'm not at work this week as mum's ill - I've had lots do for her, but I'm actually enjoying the time to do that for her - this may be the kick up the b u m I need to hand in my notice. I've been a toughie all my life, we can manage the little income drop, especially if it means I have more time with my mum (74, so who knows how long?) and our littlies!

    Will catch up on all I've missed - promise! - and reply when I can.

    A xo

    Never mind Tess and Bruno, he's got my vote! (So long as I don't actually have to eat the Bonios) - I think Docky would make a better job of politics than the shower of ..... (fill in as appropriate) that are allegedly running the madhouse at the moment. Does he have a strong position on huggles and those leans on the leg that lurchers do? - I reckon he could build a pretty appealing manifesto based on little more than that. X

    Maybe not compulsory Docky - but you could offer some sort of tax break for mud rolling???

    Or mabe make it a compulsory part of a retrainning programme for outgoing MPs?

    Sky is agreeing with the squibble in trees and Aria is also expert at leaning, especially if she can get an ear tickling. :D:D

    Greetings from a dank and murky Frankfurt en route to Seoul.

    I am not looking forward to the next 12 hours as I bloomin hate flying. The free wine is nice though :D

    Just remembered i've forgotten to bring my guidebook - grr. So thank goodness for laptop - I will have to look stuff up and print off in hotel. I only have one day and one afternoon off anyway so won't need much activity.

    My itis is tonsil but hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick (possibly not when mixed with wine, but it must be done!) I feel a little better today. Sorry for all you going through it - this thread is amazing at pulling people together.

    I have stove envy :p
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Ooh VJ'sMum I can't stand Frankfurt airport, too many return trips tired out from Frankfurt Book Fair. Have a great trip to Seoul.
    Byatt I might have to get some of that spray, the mould in the spare room looks awful.
    Have put macaroni cheese in the slow cooker and it smells gorgeous!
