    Morning :hello:

    Hester, congratulations 18BE16945XI.JPG :j :T

    Wet and very windy here too, glad I don't have to go out. My mum's coming round today, she wants me to make back-up discs for her laptop. I've never done that before, it'd better be easy :D I still can't get my new (to me) pc working properly, I might just wipe the lot and start again :rolleyes: It had 18 viruses and 223 adware/spyware/malware thingies on it :rolleyes:

    Had FIL on the phone last night, in a panic. He's had an electricity bill for £117 for 2 weeks, he's not supposed to pay any bills. I've told him not to pay - he'll have to pay my SIL (according to her) who will have already paid the bill. The whole story is long, I really will have to tell you all about it :D He's too scared to put the heating on now cos of the cost, but he lives in north west Scotland and can't live with the heating off IMO. I am prepared to fly to Scotland to sort this out. By the time I've finished with her, not only will all his bills be covered, she'll also pay for all his food too :D

    I've just had to edit the place where he lives - when I post the whole story you'd have easily been able to identify the place where he lives lol

    OK then, I've put the story on a blog page cos it's not at all OS. I probably won't use the blog again. It's a short version, it'd take me days to type out the whole version :DHERE'S THE LINKY

    Morning all - I had a long day yesterday working from 8.00 to 6.45, so I just fell into bed and slept for 10 hours last night. Today I'm up and feeling quite lively and off to work soon. Busy day ahead (again) at work - don't know what time I'll get home - probably mid-evening - and DH is out for the evening. So apart from putting food down for the cats, I don't have to do much this evening apart from clearing out the fridge and mealplanning for the weekend.

    Morning All

    Horirble weather here this morning. Couldn't get up this morning no matter how I tried, but still got in on time. Final day of piece in the office as everyone's back tomorrow.

    Having lunch with a friend later, who's found out she's pregnant by her ex who cheated on her. So think she just wants to offload. I haven't heard from her in two months, so it's probably going to be a long lunch:rolleyes:

    Just doing my daily clicks at the same time as being on here and working at the same time too. Talk about multi tasking!!

    Race For Life pack arrived yesterday, so will start getting sponsorship in the office tomorrow. Really hope I can reach the £100 target I've set myself. I just did it last year, so would like to easily get there this year without a last minute plea for help!!! Also plan to get out jogging so I can run more of it this year.

    Hope everyone's ok

    Hester many congratulations!! Fantastic news about the bubby!!

    Bad start to the day here... not only is it icky weather but my car won't start!! Didn't have breakdown cover so have had to pay £120 for the AA to join and as emergency cover :mad: Hope it's nothing too serious and I can be on my way soon!! Bless them though promising to get here within 20 minutes. In fact he's just called to say he's on his way so best dash....

    Morning all,
    evil outside isn`t it! I woke on the sofa a while ago with a stiff neck so i do hope it wears off soon. I was so tired last night the last thing i can remember is sitting down with a cup of tea :eek:

    It`s bedroom blitzing day today so when all the usual kitchen chores are done thats where i`ll be, i doubt there will be washing blowing on the line though, i can hear the rain being driven against the windows by the wind so i`ll leave it as long as i can before going out.
    Congratulations Hester!
    Have a good day all
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p
  • :wave: Good morning everyone

    Hugs to those who need them / just want a hug

    Congratulations Hester

    What a horrible day here. Its still dark(ish) and very very windy. I just let the dog out,which didnt impress him. Whilst out there i noticed something infront of the shed. On closer inspection i realised it was half the roof of the shed !! Which H is not impressed about !! So i suppose he has a very busy morning before work.. Thankfully hes on late shift..

    Right i need to get DS2 and DS3 ready for school.
    Then i need to sort WM and empty the DW. DS1 bought a loaf of bread last night for his college trip. £1.09 from Asda ( insert very shocked face !) So BM will be on before lunchtime.

    Hope everyone has a great day

    Huge Congratulations Hardup-Hester :D

    Another day at work (as always :rolleyes: ) I have been so busy since coming back off my holiday - I've been back 2 weeks and I still haven't caught up :rolleyes:

    Packed lunches are all made, DH has already left for work - I'm still sitting in a towel so I need to get a wriggle on ASAP!!

    Dinner tonight will be Ranchero Pie.

    Have a great day everyone
