CY< can feel your relief, so glad for you and your DH. i feel for his collegues and co-workers will be a difficult and upsetting time for him with mixed emotions, sad for them anger at the upper management and glad that hes still in work.

Shoe finding vibes for pigpen, underbeds behind chairs, toy boxes clothes drawers? i'd bribe/offer some sweeties or a treat to whoever can find a matching pair in the shoe finding hide and seek game.

CY: I know "survivor's guilt" may seem a bit over the top as a description of what he'll go through, but it does happen in these situations.

Today's mission: try not to melt! Oh, and isolate the smell in the fridge

Baby stuff in the washing machine!!!! I even got it turned on so in an hour I get to hang it all out.. had the 'we are getting a baby' discussion with Squeak who asked if it will stink, poo in its clothes like Dot and cry.. I love 2 year olds! It was a bit like Lady and the Tramp when the dogs are discussing babies lol.

2nd WM loaded too.
DW on..

Having a break for lunch then heading upstairs to get the girlies packed for the weekend.. and I need to get out my sewing stuff to transform halterneck dresses to strappy dresses.. I feel like I am strangled in halterneck ones. When that is done I shall crack on with my knitting.

Afternoon everyone
Thanks for the wishes for DH, poor thing is in pain and on morphine today, but we did manage to go to the Lottie earlier on after the school run and do some picking of strawberries, redcurrants, rasps and radishes, fruit is being frozen so I can make jam at some point, lurve jam :]

Boiling hot here - far oo hot to even contemplate housework

CY - so glad to see that your DH's job is safe :]]

Away to find some food now, DH has to pop to Doc later to get more medication and hand in yet more pee samples - one a week at the mo as well as the ones for the hosp, constant talking point in this house at the mo - when are you due medication or handing in pee samples lol - gotta laugh at it all or we'd break down and cry :]] I'll have to moan on here as DD is a friend on facebook and we don't want them [the kids]to know anything yet as it will scare the living daylights out of them :[[

Well - I'm stunned - O/H is still employed!

Thanks for all the good wishes - those posivibes are wonderful!

He'll know in a couple of hours how many of his mates/colleagues are going...

Glad your DH still has work; it must be mixed feelings, I guess, knowing some mates won't be so lucky. Posi-vibes all round, and hope his mates that don't get kept on find another post soon.

Aww, bless - I know thw "you gotta laugh or you'd cry" thing well. Moan away, mate - and you know where my pm box is if you need to moan about stuff you don't want to put on a public forum.;)

Dogs due to be collected in half an hour - then a protracted Dys0n Tango for me, methinks!:cool:

You must be my twin - I had to clean a smelly fridge too this morning!

This afternoon I have to evict DD2 to her main job and then return 2 library books. Then I will iron...

Mr Dys0n has done what he does best, and copious amounts of fur have been removed from what I believe Piggers refers to as the dog shelf.:D

Anyone got a mattress they want stuffed??:rotfl:

Dear Lamewolf and Pigpen,

One of you looks after dogs. The other knits. Would this be of any use?
