Hi Vanilla! Lovely to see you posting again. And within a few days of Bonnie posting, so it's all looking good. You are missed when you don't post, you know.


Off Topic, my alphabet contained the three letters:


ella menno pee.


And I could not get my head around the difference between the words shoulder and soldier, which was a bit unfortunate as my father was in the army and adults often used to ask what my father did. It didn't take long to work out that if I just used the word 'sojer' for both, everybody understood. I can clearly remember that the confusion continued past the point at which I knew that one of them contained letters that looked French (precocious brat moi, obvs) which was even more confusing, so I must have been at least eight years old!


I'm still very aware of the fact that it was my absolutely certain belief that all dogs were male and cats were the female of the same species.

House looking better after a quick whip round this morning and a moan about being the only person that changes toilet roll and cleans the lol and does everything else around here grr. Hubby always had some excuse such as feeling I'll or back/shoulder/ankle/groin hurting....drives me crazy

Morning all! Not really been on the ball this week due to having food poisoning. Had to drag myself to Leeds for a conference yesterday as I wouldn't be able to claim the £100 travel expenses from work if I hadn't. Back in work today and still feeling a little delicate but we shall see how it goes. Will try a little flying tomorrow, the bathroom has been disinfected many a time over the past few days but I want to give it a thorough clean for my own peace of mind! Hope you're all doing well.

Good Morning from queen of Snotland!! I have no idea where it is coming from.. :eek:


We have a powercut, so I have about an hour before my lappy dies (piggybacking on the neighbours tintyweb )

thank the lord I had the foresight to buy my stovetop kettle..





(note.. still no tiles!! ggrrr, you see why I am so desperate though?)

ruby_eskimo

Ah I love Le Creuset! So jealous of your kettle and tea pot. I've only just realised that if we had a power cut, we'd be screwed as we only have an electric hob...

Hi everyone.

Mr LW's pre-op "assessment" has been decluttered; we have some instructions re when he has to not eat anything after, and what to do about his regular medication. Also he has a dinky little bottle to wee into to take with him on the day (lovely!!) They did an ECG, which was no problem, and a blood test, which has resulted in extra washing for Muggins here. They tried his left arm and couldn't get anything. So they tried his right arm.... and he bled like a stuck pig!:eek: Not to worry, I've got it all out of his clothes, thankfully; though not without coming over dizzy - I'm as bad with blood as Piggers is with sick. _pale_

He's packed as much of what he needs to take as he can for now into his overnight bag (though we hope he'll be home the same day) - bless him, he's selected one of his well-worn PG Wodehouse books to take for "light reading".:o

Anyways, that's it now til Tuesday; he's got tomorrow off work anyway for Lughnassadh, so we've a bottle of fizzy stuff chilling in the fridge, ready for tomorrow evening.:o

Jasper was as good as gold while we were out.:A He was so pleased to see us back, though.:o

LW.. Glad all went smoothly, hopefully that's a sign he is a good healthy strong chap ~~vibes for no overnighters~~


Mouse decluttered from the kitchen!! ... A great monster of a thing.. Penny sucked it up and dealt with it!... I put it in the bin.. V.I.L.E.

I need to pop to shop I have 2 parcels to post, I need to arrange a catalogue collectionI got 2 things to look at one 1 is going back. I have some sale returns from Next, I got some trainers for DS1 but they are not the colours they were advertised as and look VERY girly!!

Lunch fed to beastlings, Pixie napped... I am going to wrap birthday stuff for Squeak in a minute I think and wrap pass-the-parcel stuff .. I need to dig out the facepaints too.
