    I have performed the magic Google rite, but that didn't help much. :(

    I have therefore asked DW to use her telephonic skills and make verbal contact with the Fount of All Knowledge. ;)

    Shouldn't take long...... :D

    EDIT: 'Tis all connected with what went on here back in May.

    Let's just say the 'Powers That Be' were attempting to clear a certain illegal site and local eyesore. The owner was upset to find some real action being taken against her at last, so she made threats against life, limb and property. There was a stand-off for a while, but eventually she was arrested. Presumably the 'PTB' then got on with the job.

    Good! :dance::dance::dance:

    Just been typing letter to Building control for OH & it's filled with really boring window spec - openable vents to be 1/30th of floor area etc etc.

    I just hate doing them.

    Back to watching Liberty......How the other half live.

    I like the idea of big dog ending up somewhere with livestock too intimidating to chase :rotfl:

    LIR, what sad news. I hope Big Dog can be made comfortable and have a dignified end when the time is right.

    I'm even more miserable now. From what you've all said, I should be sleeping more. That's what my body is telling me but unfortunately, three children under seven do not understand the concept of mother sleeping in the day. Nothing would suit me more than a regular siesta.

    2013 was a sort of right off, although we got loads achieved - I hope you understand what I mean by that as it sounds so contradictory. Roll on the longer days.

    rozee.. can you make part of the day [1hr ?] where you all lay around and watch a dvd /film/prog. if you can fall asleep/doze safely then the kids get a treat and you get a doze. if its same time each day as a count down to xmas [kids love a countdown lol ]it makes it a challenge for them..
    but you know if your likkle darlins would agree.....

    Well, Alf... I have tried. The caravan is too small, they drift into the bedroom... It's not worth the effort TBH. It only makes me feel more frustrated. However, we will visit the in laws over the New Year. MIL's great and usually takes the kids off our hands when they wake and we can grab some lie ins. :D

    Rozzee I can't imagine what it's like for you especially if it's horrible out doors where you can't let them play out & get a bit of space. I'm going up the wall with just OH and all the work stuff everywhere.

    I'm hoping that we get a bit of dry weather as the place is a boggy mess & it's so slippy underfoot. Came a cropper earlier on in the field.
