    Morning all, and happy birthday JackieO :)

    I finally feel that I've caught up on my sleep this week. The usual at work today. Tonight I'm packing for a weekend away on retreat:

    http://www.burrswood.org.uk

    I leave work Friday lunchtime to travel down and will get home early evening Sunday, hopefully sane and refreshed. I'll leave DH a list of housework he needs to do while I'm away, otherwise he'll spend 48 hours on the computer and do absolutely nothing.


    Hope the retreat goes well Sola. I have a feeling I know what decisions you will make then (or not long thereafter)...and I hope it works out well for you.


    Morning everyone else.


    HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Jackie O.

    Morning all.
    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday JackieO :bdaycake:
    Welcome Lily-lu!!!
    Well I've read the thread-gonna be late for work now-good job I work with my OH. Just hope traffic isn't bad. Can't go yet anyway as tumbledryer hasn't finished. Got tonnes to do today -again!!! OH forgot to cancel a couple of dds and naughty company have taken them so Mortgage payment has been declined :mad: But the bank did manage to charge us over £40 for this :mad: So got to sort it all out today. No point in trying to make overpayments if monthly premium doesn't go out when it should. no doubt OHs name will be blackened for making late payment. And Sol wants another grand within a month-it doesn't just rain it pours!!!
    OK rant over-for now. Better get ready and go or there won't be anywhere to park!!!

    Good Morning All

    Just a quick from me before I nip DD to school!

    Happy Birthday to Jackie have a lovely day.

    Got to take my dog to the vets this morning for her op! This is the 1st time in the 5yrs Ive had her, she's really needed any treatment. So Im a little apprehensive, I know she'll be fine.

    Family therapy went well last night. DS had a 1-2-1 with the therapist! He will write a report on behalf of DS and send it school, and arrange a meeting for once a month for me & the behaviour teacher at school to iron out any issue's (that should be fun!)

    Stayed an extra hour again y-day at work, will most likely do the same today!

    (((hugs))) to all who need them
    Take care
    Love Emma xxx

    Hugs to those who need them, especially hilstep.

    Quiet day here today, hooray. Must do some baking, and cook some lentils up ready for supper tonight. Got a couple of loads of washing to put into the machine and there's already a mountain of ironing with my name on :(

    Have a fun day everyone.

    JACKIEO HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a really really really amazing day :)

    Shez I love my deep fat fryer too :). Although OH did ask if we can have something *other* than chips for tea tonight.

    Crazychik Good luck at the vets. I really need to get pet insurance for our two...

    Catznine So pleased that you have a diagnosis for your daughter. Hope the doctors make her well asap

    Anyone I have missed, hugs, kisses to you!! Please don't feel left out I just have a memory like a sieve

    Am off to work again today. Got b*gger all done in my two days off - oh well :embarrased:. Need to wear extra layers today as they have turned the temperature down - instead of being 5 degrees, is now 1 degree. If it's not busy it soon gets freezing!

    After only a week at his new job, OH is being let out on his own :D I hope he does well.

    Anyway, I'ld best be going. Oh yes - I made Nigella Peanut Butter Squares last night and they are horrid!! They're so sickly sweet, really unpleasant. And they were a sod to make :rolleyes:

    Hope you all have a good day :beer;
