    Hi everyone!
    Hugs to those who need them [especially Kwikchick]
    All my plans went to boot last night...I cancelled my friend and went to bed at 6.30!! I was so cream crackered and snippy that I was gunning for a fight so thought it was best that I took myself away rather than let leash with my sharp tongue:D Pleased to report that I'm much happier today and OH bless him did all my ironing for me.
    OS today...floors washed and general tidy round. Have also topped up on milk, stardrops and the small person's school socks [now I wonder which particular black hole in his bedroom they have disappeared into!!
    Have a good day

    Afternoon all,

    Drizzling here all day so plants and birds will be happy.

    Have been given official retirement date of 31st May so from then on I will be on pension...have forms etc to return including marriage cert (in case OH outlives me and becomes entitled to a pension of his own) can't find it so have to get another this pm. Have 25 days leave entitlement which will be paid at full rate so that should see to holiday spending at least as pension will take a while to be set up...

    Newster, good luck with knitting...I love to do fine knitting so usually have a couple of projects on the go, would love to know how you do your squares...large, small etc. You do seem to have lots more energy than I have.

    Happy Birthday Sweet Pea.

    Hugs aplenty to all in need.

    Kiwichick..have posted on other thread

    Congratulations to all who are celebrating

    Must do some shopping, down to one apple fruitwise, no milk or plan for dinner to-day

    Have a good day

    -hugs- to everyone who needs them.
    Had a spur of the moment decision this afternoon and went to get my hair cut! :) it needed doing, but i just walked into the salon near us and they did it there and then. Looks much better, though slightly shorter than i would have liked! smells divine though, and i also bought some products. So I've had an expensive afternoon, but feel so much better for it.
    In other news, I am so swamped with revision, practicals and recital practises. My next exam is one week today and this morning I realised how much I dont know on the subject.

    Yes I've reported it but funny how when you leave a message about a theft in school no-one bothers to phone you back
    but I've been out got him a new pair but his dad paid so I'm happy about that but I'm generally un-happy with the boy's school at the moment just lot's of things and silly rules like the colour of their socks and underwear
    off to get their dinner now
