    Hi CHALKY - thanks for the birthday wishes! I know how you feel about the weather. It's going to better here than where I am going in France! There's nothing worse than being on holiday in the rain. I hope, whatever you decide, you get the sun!

    I wouldn't put too much faith in the weather reports Chalky. :rolleyes: Where abouts is it due for rain for 4 solid days? That sounds more like a miracle. :D Although it's a long way for 4 days.

    Moiliere Have a lovely time in France. We will miss you heaps. Obviously you can't go in the calorie challenge as your DH already there. ;)

    LTS Sounds awful. Hope you get better soon.
    Smoky You really need to get it all sorted for your sanity. Maybe the GP will help. ((hugs))
    Twink No hair fell off my paint brush. :p

    Lasagne in the oven. Smells good. Byeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Well we have decided 1 thing -- never to look at long range weather forecasts when you are about to go on holiday again ( unless of course its local and camping)

    Well have watered the garden, used the clippers on OH's hair and still in a quandry
    SO

    We are going to post a thread and count how many people say yeah or nay.

    My Oh is always teadsing me about being on here with my mates so we will see if they help us decide.
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    Good Morning All

    Happy Birthday to Moiliere, have a lovely time in France
    Amie - I too have been watching "bits" of Dumped! Not really got into it, as still trying to get organised after the hols!

    DD started school today! She's excited, and a favourite with all the teachers.

    Bangers & Mash for dinner later.

    My nephew stayed the night again. He has a couple of interviews this morning, 1 being for the Army! So we chatted for ages about my experiences! I hope he does well and gets accepted! He needs stability in his life, and I feel he will get that in the forces, more than he's ever had as a child/teenager living with his mum! Oooh how harsh you may say!

    Another day at work for me in a while! Must start to get ready now!
    Have a great day
    Love as usual
