Hello you all

Another up and down day at work. Really quite busy and could only sneak wee looks and also the server is up and down all the time! We are connected via the school server so how are kids being educated.

Kyle (Oh my Gooodness, the formatting seems wrong again!!!) and Twink - Love to all your family. Sorry to hear you had a bad night Kyle, sweatheart. Inevitable with the lo just coming home etc etc.

PennyP - it does rather sound that you are rather overdoing things!!! Is it your way of coping (hoping I am not too personal).

Dlb - sorry to hear about illness etc. In a way probably good you haven't heard from sister but the situation has to be resolved.

CrazyC - hope you are OK. Dlb hasn't spoken to you for a while!

Oooooooooh Csarina - plumber's bum!!!!

Love and hugs to you all needing support with jobs, kids, OH's (!!!!!!!), exams, other probs etc. I do try and keep up with it all!

Midwife visited DD today and head not fully engaged but told if waters break and instant contractions - dial 999 and say this is your third!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Midwife said goodbye and might see you in 2 weeks!

Anyway, sorry if I am missing some of you out but you do know I appreciate your friendship here!

Love GB xxx


Just looked at my post and formatting seems OK - the preview was all over the place!

Hello everyone from wet and horrible Northern Ireland. AussieLass, you were meant to bring an entire week's worth of fantastic weather with you!!

Last night was one of those sleepless ones, ended up taking a sleeping tablet at around 4.00am. Consequently today has been a bit of a non-event as I've been feeling really drowsy all day long. I did take myself to a couple of garden centres to find some nice hanging basket supports, but they only had the naff ones left. I'm also looking for a nice big canvas artwork to go above my new bed, but want a money saving one that is also nice to look at. Au Naturelle has some quite nice ones that are cheap, but I want better than "quite nice". Any ideas?? Do Dunelm Mills do pictures/canvases?

BargainRzl, best of luck with the new laptop - it's a bit :eek: to think that something that costs a grand doesn't last three years. Mine is about the same age and same price bracket (and I don't use half of what's on it either, lol) but sincerely hope that there are another good few years use left in it.

AussieLass, what colour is your hair today?

Has anybody heard from Shez this past week or so? I hope she's alright.

Tonight I'm going to have a wee sup of wine - I found out that an ex-colleague managed to move to South Africa and is now running a vinyard, and is actually selling some of his products to Sainsbury's! I've bought one of his bottles to sample. But why oh why can't I get my act in gear like that and really do something with my life?? I'm delighted for him but I do feel like a wet weekend in comparison.

Bye for now.

Snowy

grannybroon

Snowy this is a no drink tonight - send something down the wire! We have decided that we have slipped in to the drink one or two everynight and over the units. So cutting down. Last night was a classic when I took meds washed down with the wine.


Shez - glad to hear you are OK.

LOL literally eight minutes after I sent a search party out you appear:D Glad to hear you've got your broadband sorted, yippee! (Note to self: sort out broadband during week off work)

The most interesting news is that AussieLass is now Ginger Aussie Spice Lass!!

The saddest and most worrying news was that Kyle's baby took a tumble down the stairs when he figured out how to get the stairgate open. He's obviously very clever - more clever than the peeps who designed the stairgate - but ended up with a broken arm which had to be operated on. Poor Twink feels terribly guilty as she was the adult in the house at the time. Twink, if you're reading this, please come on back here. What's done is done and feeling bad will never change it and little one will only want to see your happy face.. and besides we all miss you.

I will leave the others to fill you in with the rest of their news...(cos I've forgotten already, sorrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy)

AussieLass

Wellllllllllllllll


One would expect a smidgeon of sympathy but obviously not

Good weather up this way. I hear it's torrential rain for you tomorrow. Oh well, you will be able to start your spring clean if gardening is out of the question.

We went and had a nosy around Beleeck Pottery this arv. Didn't buy anything but it was all lovely.

Thought you were a bit p!ssy last night Grannyboon.

SnowyOwl_2

Oi, Ginger Nut, you calling my house dirty?!?! BTW my friend's husband is definitely coming on Friday to do my garden - I'm going shopping. Can't believe you didn't buy anything at Belleek! Their stuff is fabulous. I'm thinking of going up that way specially to visit their shop as I understand they sell their "seconds" quite cheaply.

Evening all :j

Good day for me, went to Plymouth for the day to take the kids to The Wiggles live show. The show was good, kids loved it



Only thing I have to say bad about it, was the merchandise rip off. I know shows will sell merchandise before and after the show, and most shows Ive been too, haven't been too bad for price, but today my god :eek: £12 for a wiggles light :eek: £10 for plastic beaker :eek: I quickly shifted my kids away from the merchansdie stand, wouldn't be very MSE, to be paying £12 for a plastic light that would probably stop working in a few hrs :rotfl:

Had a good bargain hunt around the city centre shops, got loads of £1 bargain clothes from Primark sale, my mum got a load of NO7 bargains from Boots and I picked up a few bargain toys in toyrus, which are being put away for Xmas.:j

Right im off, going to bed shortly as Im knackered after today, and got work again tomorrow :rolleyes:

Bye for now

Icecubequeen - The Wiggles are fab. Austalian of course, what can I say. The merchandise is a bit of a rip off though and they never go on sale. Bit of gossip - Geoff is gay.

You know I'm not saying that Snowy. I didn't see any seconds.
Maybe you can come up and show me.

grannybroon

Sorry, but who on earth are the Wiggles? Never heard of them up here!

We do have the Twankies and the Singing Kettle!!!!!!!
