    Is honeybear around?
    She was on FB earlier today.

    Sorry you've had somebody messing up your work schedule, bossy. And I'm very sorry you aren't free to come and join me and CY for coffee tomorrow. We will make a point of all getting together again in the new year, somehow.

    Delighted to oblige with the hug, mrs-mp.

    LW, please keep posting as much as you can when the BD is pestering you and we'll all throw some big sticks to lure him away from you.

    Natty, I do hope you are taking proper care of yourself. It sounds as if there's so much going on your neck of the woods that you are putting yourself last again.

    Both the course I ran and the one I attended went very well today, and although there are still a number of things on my to-do list that I'd rather have been able to cross off, I am content that progress is being made and can award myself a day out :)

    Got to get the early train tomorrow, so I must get my head down and try to drift off to the Land of Nod asap. I have already made up my breakfast and packed half a greengrocer's shop for snacks on the way home - train journeys always make me hungry :p

    Oh dear Bossy, poor you, that's all you need. I hope you're sleeping now.
    May has been up since 4 as its morning apparantly! So tired, I have stinky work today, I've done no flying but have Friday morning whilst both Littlies are at nursery, so those 2.5 hours will be well spent!

    Loving the tiles pigpen!

    We are up, tired and squawking too.. Yawning while crying and wailing 'I'm not tired' isn't very convincing!!

    More tiling to be done today.. But I'm out this morning so not doing a thing.. Hoping to be back by lunch.. Popping by the police station or giving them a call when I get back.. I need to fiddle some cash about too and pay a few bits off..

    It's not natural to be up at this time.. I need to be sick!!

    Well I'm a joy this morning.. the little $h!tbag (Dot of course!!!) has ripped the shawl I have been knitting for over a week and dragged it all over the house and snapped my rosewood interchangeable needles.. I MAY nee to murder her and bury her in the garden!! It is custom dyed yarn supplied by the customer so they cannot get any more !!!!!! am I supposed to do now?? The little sod has rummaged through all my stuff to get it out.. and she has drawn stripes all over Pixie AGAIN with a whiteboard marker.. I'm so utterly beyond amused by her!!

    *RAGE* .. (if I do it here I may not strangle her!!)

    She just goes from one thing destroying it to the next while I clear the previous devastation.. I am putting a lock on their bedroom door so they can wake up at whatever time they like but have to stay in there.. utterly fed up! I do not need this today

    Oh pigpen I feel your pain, he it can be salvaged (and dot survives)

    Tomorrow is children in need. We are supposed to dress up as celebs or superheroes - me as Rihanna or wonder woman will leave most small children scared for life! Any suggestions at short notice please? All I have in my dressing up box is a Tudoresque number I bring out for book week. Citing of of Henry Vllls wife's as a superhero while true is probably pushing it slightly.

    Mrs Moneypenny, can you adapt it to be Mother Theresa? Celeb & superhero (according to some) all in one. Ok, I'll go now.

    Piggers, hope you get the knitting sorted.

    Right, I have cleared the hotspots in the LR, hoovered under the furniture and hoovered downstairs.

    Paid stuff now.

    Much love to everyone
