    Oh my - a tough day for a lot of people :( Group hug needed methinks :grouphug:

    Congratulations Kazwookie xx

    A draining day at work, but home now :T. Tea's in the oven and WM x 1 is swishing - more towels. Laundry shuffle done.

    Ooo... tea's ready. Hope everyone has a peaceful evening. Hugs.

    Sorry you're feeling grumpy Valli, and if no-one else wants to do it, I'll do the list while you're away. If anyone else fancies having a crack at it, however, I'll gladly let them.

    Only grumpy with the forum for suddenly deciding my password had expired.

    That's a good idea - I can nip over and nudge you if you forget:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm really tired.

    Hugs to all and Honey Bear - I wish you a spaceful home (DD's toddler word for spacious) and she insisted it worked as anywhere can be full of space...
    My personal system is to fling the furniture you're squirrelling stuff in - but I need a bookcase for the few I have kept.

    Lots of hugs all round, even if you don't like them. So there! Big congratulations to Kaz and family.

    Pathetically little done today besides work. I did manage to change the bed and get dinner on the table. I think that's about it. I have a day off tomorrow, but DD wants to go shopping, so the day is already disappearing fast.

    Short post this evening, as the broadband is driving me spare!!

    for goodness sakes.. I had to reset password to the one it already was for the second time.. old password is the same as the new one which is the same as the one I have had since registering here.. it's so stupid.. I LIKE my password.

    Home tomorrow..

    Boog has biadetes appt at 5.. and his googly eye appt Thursday.. HV threatened to come at some point so I need to maybe cancel her interference.. actually.. I might need to speak to her now I've said that.. She sent the 20 month questionaire thingy for Twinkle and she is so late with everything.. why do they want to rush them to grow up? Why can they not just be babies longer? I don't need her to be 15, she is a baby.

    Congratulations on the arrival of your grandchild Kaz. How exciting! Hope everything went well x

    Pigpen - I hate gossip too. I found myself involved in it last week (accidentally and unexpectedly) and had to say I thought it was sad that people needed to discuss other people's private affairs. Several faces looked at me like I was an alien, but it stopped the whispers.

    Day three of the holidays. I'm broke, tired and grumpy. DH is back to work today, thank goodness, and the boys have a softplay date with their cousins this afternoon, so I can get a cuppa and a catch up with their mum. DSS and GF are out for lunch as it's Valentine's day. I stuffed a card into hubby's lunch bag just before he left. Romantic? Nah.

    Zero flying yesterday, so I'd better make an effort today :rotfl:

  • No progress here yesterday as long day at work, but did make bed, washing up all done or in DW, dirty washing made it to the laundry basket so no floordrobe. Kitchen still clear. Couple of errands done in town.
    Full day at work again today but not a late finish so hope to pop into supermarket for a few bits on the way home and then put hoover around the lounge.
    Not got much time at home this week so flying target is to keep on top of everything that is good. Next week I am home most of Monday and all of Friday at the moment plus the weekend and nothing planned so might get on.

    Don't forget to smile.
    xx
  • Morning all,

    Beds made, DW unloaded, WM on and kids fed and dressed. Eye infection getting me down now, no chance of an appointment at our surgery so I’ll just battle on with red raw leaking eyes!

    I’m grumpy and broke too Dizzy :o

    Have good days all x

    Kazwookie many congratulations to you and your family!

    Pigpen I know, they do seem to rush for babies to grow up fast. Sorry you're having a torrid time at OH's. I detest gossip but have found myself in the middle of it due to my ex-loan horse owner and her lack of scruples. I'm rising above it but it hurts.

    Got the house to myself as J and S are in Bude with his Mum and Z is in France with her cousins for the week. Having a cuppa then will do a bit of work. Off to ride another horse this morning then when I get back I will fly!!
