    Debt-free and Proud!
    That's twice I've lost my message, and I'd typed a load, so now I am fed up as well as poorlyill-violated-dead-smiley-9437.gif. Busy weekend, busy day but still managed to fly to level 3. Thanks Lil_me for the lists. Sounds like you are studying with the OU? Am I right? That's why I'm here, I need to get organised for my new course in September after a couple of years off. I did MST121, MS221 and MST207 amongst others a few years back so if I can help at all ....

    Hope everyone who is soggy dries out soon especially Pigpen and AnW'smum ( I know yours is an internal leak but hope it's dry soon, sorry it made you feel low, hope you have a better week this week).

    Still managing to fly but my bed is calling now. Have a good day tomorrow everyone. Night, night.

    How naive am I?!:rotfl: In my defence, I work with vets and it's a world of abbrevations when it comes to 'things biological'.

    Lovely lie-in 'til 7 this morning but I've got to be away by 9 with everything packed up. Hoping to get to level 2 in the livingroom before I leave too.

    I haven't seen the news yet but I hope things have improved in Atlantis-shire.

    Have a good day today whatever you're doing. Go show 'em what you're made of.

    Morning! Just came to see how Pigpen and Michelle are - hope you're both drier this morning.

    Pigpen - my DH (who's in the Far East atm) sent me the link for those pics. He works in Hull, but would have been stranded there yesterday, as the routes he uses were blocked.

    We had a lot of rain, and I had a bad time getting to collect a friend yesterday - all the dips under railway bridges were flooded, so I had to make a couple of detours.

    Morning all :hello: Dry start to the day here :j but there are still problems on public transport due to all the rain yesterday :rolleyes:

    Morning all, we had a rainy windy night but sunny and dry this morning. Not seen the forcast.

    Feeling C**p - sore throat with spotty tonsils and earache, just DS3 to get to school then a nice lot of peace. Will be flying gently doing lots of sitting down jobs today.

    Just to say hello to Pigpen, hope you are alright!

    Envy you a new kitchen - mine has been falling to pieces for the last 10 years! I'll need to get a bodge job done if I want to move.

    Dusty - hope you feel better soon. Are you breaking out the lemsips or sticking to hot whiskey & lemonade (know which I prefer - rum in industrial quantities will out the lurgy usually but not around littlies).

    Today, so far, so good. It has even stopped raining here so cue three tons of baby clothes in the wash!
