    Ankle weights? Gosh.

    Hopefully the cars learn how to behave.

    With Morrisons I suppose a driver could be seriously ill or had a bereavement.  It's difficult when you are dependent on a service but of course even with the big companies it's human beings making it all run.

    Enjoy that meringue.

    Whispers also sporting a fetching set of wrist weights (usually wear these for swimming)

    Absolutely right that NN can't stir up a fuss and then just act like it can just go away again - actions have consequences!

    Well done to DD2 for making us laugh!  The place I previously worked published a report into the rate of Caesarian births and throughout the report the alternative birthing method had been autocorrected to virginal births🤦‍♀️. Apparently South East England had the highest virginal birth rate in the UK.

    Hurrah for Gary Golf being obliging - must remember that my car isn't a huge amount of time off needing her MoT and service - must check that date (February I think) and get that booked with Neil. 

    Blackcats that is a BRILLIANT autocorrect fail!

    Amazing productivity, lots of good progress and nice things there 🥂 Kick that solicitor up the bum!

    Hospital must be a bit intimidating but glad it's being properly investigated. Good idea to book a hotel, no need for extra stress nonsense.

    Congratulations to DS1 (if you approve, otherwise booo hisss 😁)
