    :hello: Good morning everyone

    Hope you're all ok. :) It's another glorious weather day here
    - I expect it'll be much the same as yesterday - very warm
    and sunny. :p

    Sounds as if you had a wonderful day yesterday with your
    GS leanfun. :T There were quite a few peeps out and about
    here over the weekend making the most of the weather. I
    treated to myself to an ice cream too - was lovely and
    refreshing - not quite as humongous as wingo's scrumptious,
    mouth-watering & heavenly :cool: ice cream! :drool: :rotfl:

    I'm so very pleased that your DD2 is not going to that
    dreadful school wingo - I agree with leanfun re cost. I just
    know that your daughter will do well at the new school. :T

    Can't believe it's almost a year since your DD started
    Nurse training sheils! Please pass on my congratulations
    to her for doing so well in all the exams, assignments
    etc. Absolutely brilliant! :T:T

    Well - must be time for a cuppa. :p Have a lovely and
    lucky day all and please take care. :)

    Evening peeps. Hope you are all well. Was going to go out for a stroll but it suddenly got very dark and it is now tipping it down. FF your crusty soup made me laugh so much I ended up with a stitch in my side. Really cheered me up. Thinking about getting the iron and ironing board out (only thinking) Don't have much to iron but it is a job I hate doing so don't tend to let it pile up. Hope everyone who needed to catch up on comps has caught up. Have a nice evening everybody.

    I had one of those 'where did the time go?' days today. Some reviews written for Amazon, a chat with a colleague (I work from home), and then at midday, my DLA to PIP forms arrived - I'm disabled, I have arthritis as a consequence of my 'one sided' cerebral palsy.
    Not much to report on the comps/survey/prize draws front but hope all others are busy lining up some good surprises.

    Good evening, late in again today. Been really busy, GD wanted a bag to take to Spain when she goes to school which is immediately we get back from Filey. Also went shopping this morning and of course a cup of coffee. Family were here for tea so we have roast chicken dinner.

    Still got my irong to do, can't imagine how anyone can enjoy the job LOL.

    Think I will have an early night as I was still awake at 3 this morning.

    Enjoy the rest of the evening everyone.
    BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO POST THE COMPETITIONS

    I have a new job, as an online English Instructor. I have taught English and Maths online for the last eight years, and my present post is coming to an end. The relief is enormous. It's for a Japanese company.

    Good Morning,

    Upsetting to waken up to the Manchester news. I always worry nowadays when my "kids" go to concerts etc. Mind you , DS1 in his office in Sydney was affected when the cafe shooting happened a while back so these things can happen anywhere - so sad. Mobiles are so handy for setting our minds at rest when something happens.

    On brighter side, Mcculloch, really glad you have got a new job.

    Sun shining away here so think we will take a picnic to a local NTS garden and have a bit of a walk there. Got to go to Wilkos for a few things too which isn't far from it.
    Good luck all.
