    Welcome to the world, Little Miss Frizzle, and congratulations to her proud parents :beer:
    I'm sure her big brothers will dote on her, and she will grow up wanting to be a superhero just like them :)

    :wave: CY, nice to see you posting here again. Don't try to do too much too soon! Enjoy your weekend with your mum and sister x

    Hope Pixie is better this morning, pigpen.

    I have had a broken night - went down to make a cuppa at 2.00 and then read for a bit, but House Doctor lulled me to sleep on the sofa, and I then didn't surface until nearly 10.00. We haven't had breakfast yet because DH is still reading in bed and drinking the cuppa that I brought up to him! My head feels a lot better this morning - thanks for all the GWS wishes :T

    We are going on a snowdrop walk today at "my" NT property and I want to buy the memberships for DGS3+4 before the price goes up at the end of this month. (Although I've been to two other NT properties in the past week, I've waited because "my" property will get the bonus from HQ if I buy the memberships there ;)) My savings account has taken a big hit this year...

    Re flying: I have little to show for the past week and will make a fresh start on Monday.

    Hope everyone stays warm and dry today. (((Hugs)))), spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

    Pixie is very much full of snot this morning... my head is rather stuffed up too..

    Squeak has been tasked with making sure OH tidies the back room, the boys are getting the bathroom and landing and their room to tidy up and DD3 is getting her room and the front room ~(just a few toys to put away) DD2 is doing her room but she also has work later but I might boss her to wipe the kitchen if she has time.. I get the landing, the girls room and my room.. all of which are absolutely horrific.. I definitely am not getting the better end of this deal! But I WILL have a presentable hovel by the end of the weekend!!


    I did finish the cardy body so just the sleeves to do today.. I hate sleeves!

    Congratulations to the Frizzles and welcome to the world Little girl!

    Was absolutely po-fagged (as my Grandma used to say) last night - Y1 all day and art all am. Head totally swelled as I am the best artist in the world (especially when showing how to paint a grzzly bear) and got a round of applause for my air-drying clay bear model. And I got valentines from them lol (they are an absolutely super class). My sister and BiL wanted a visit but I had a feeling I would be too tired to drive. I shall go later in the week BECAUSE IT'S HALF TERM! WOOTY WOOTY WOOT WOOT.
    Sending energy vibes to CY and love to all.

    Gonna clean the Vallimobile shortly.

    LW glad the pip is sorted and hope you are feeling better.

    Mumof2 hope things calm down and resolution can be reached.

    Pigpen sounds like the whip is being cracked (I think we got off lightly this week with the flylist :) ) hope the clear up helps all feel better.

    Hope everyone is ok

    Hugs and sticks to anyone in need.

    "Only another 500 forms" nicki ????? - however many books do you put out?

    I put about 70 books at a time out, but each book get 3-5 forms depending on where it's going. So I need 210-230 forms each time. I do reuse them when I can, but yesterday I did approximately 1000 forms in total so I'm set up for the next few cycles of books. I was supposed to do them over Christmas but I decided to have the time off instead. I can only order 100 at a time for free so I tend to let them pile up, put on a film and then attack the pile ;)

    Not much done today. We had a lie in, breakfast and then spent a couple of hours reading :D I've changed my bed, had a shower and just put the WM on with cleaning cloths I forgot to finish yesterday. The BM is also just on with pizza dough which I'm hoping works as its the first time I've tried it. :o I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it as I doubled the recipe (it said I could if I had a 2lb machine) but its not sounding too healthy while kneading :o:o

    DD has challenged me to play a game she plays on the computer so this could prove interesting. No plans for the weekend other than chill, read, watch TV. DD isn't even seeing ex this weekend as he's away at his IL's so very very quiet here for a change.

    Off to find this game and see whether I can figure out how to play it while DD does some guitar practice :o :wave:
