    Great rugby on the box...

    3 more chick bodies made.

    Photos taken of chicks and creme egg cosy hats. And posted on the local fb selling page, along with Easter bunnies. Smug face on. But a tad scared too!

    Visit to the library yielded 6 books for me and 12 for dd. Ch shop got her a my little pony for 50p and some Cmas cookie cutters for me for 75p. Dh had the job of buying some chicken from aldee, lucky him (tee hee).

    Last time he went,they gave him a next appointment for 8 weeks later. So they finally seem happier with it. It does get watery, but the whole inflammation side has finally gone down.

    Dh has had his jsa letter through,so we must find out what that entitles him to...

    Tomorrow is dh on PA, dd going to KK, more chicks and hats...
