    Glad lt went ok Lw and sorry your having a rough time Wendywitch. So glad all went well boddy.

    Well I'm ashamed to say I have done absolutely bu££er all today apart from spend a very long boring day at paid work? Feed babies and eat lots. But on the upside, I have found, what sounds like a great job I could do for much more pay than I get now. Have spent a good long time this evening, tweaking my cv and crossing my fingers and getting nervous (stupidly) all at the same time! Work again tomorrow, but will atleast try and get some bits done.

    Morning everyone.

    Hope this is a good day for everyone.

    Flying resuming today. Working mostly from my own list. Then seeing what I can do off posted lists. Meeting DD for lunch and shopping. Doctors appointment later.

    Kaz2904 Not on any meds. Had antibiotics on Monday when I was in hospital. I think because I acted straight away the infection was nipped in the bud.

    Off to make a cuppa and feed ninja cat. Then back to bed for a while.

    Hugs for everyone who needs them.

    Loving the jumper pigpen. Oh I've been there with the potty throwing, its just awful isn't it, little Mi was paddling in it when I turned to wipe Roo's little bum! Think we threw the rug!!

    Got horrid work today and I'm hoping someone will pick up the old Bounceroo today. Got no GuAg. Am hoping to atleast do something when I get home. Could really do with following some of the list today. Getting a bit cross that I'm just getting into bed and doing nothing all evening. I do think I need to start knitting or something so atleast I'm doing something as opposed to nothing.
  • Morning everyone - just having breakfast then a quick nip to the shops for the paper as rumour has it The reflective one has Mr A*di voucher in it today - and I need it for my big shop next week!!!


    It is dark here too Dusty - quite scary as I'm about to go out in it!!!

    It's meh here too. Moggy purring kept me awake a lot last night but it was lovely to listen to!
    Trying to figure out if I can persuade DH to redo our lounge before Christmas. Probably not. It's quite shabby though.
    Still waiting for the quote for all the works to the house. I don't know why people waste their time and mine by doing the walk round and then not coming back. Pah.
    Awful news about Canada, you never expect it somewhere so peaceful :(
