    Evening all

    Maralum - big big hugs. Have you thought about going to the Police?The more of these nasty drug dealers (the big ones supplying your ex) they can lock away the better. They will provide protection if necessary
    Amie - Buster is indeed part of :cool: ORF :cool: - it's the name I've given to the wireless net camera I've bought to try and catch the perp parking on my drive. A couple of nice ladies are keeping an eye out for me.
    Mrs PepperPot - welcome
    Pigpen - love the fireplace. But, I have to ask - if the front room was a tip and now isn't but the back room is are you sure you've not just been moving things about rather than putting them away?
    Mudbath - well done on the hoovering and I hope the water leak will explain the reason for no heating and that it's soon sorted
    Skintscots - big congrats to your Mum - you must be very proud of her. Can't you get her to go and take you with her for moral support?

    Hugs, hot toddies and chicken soup for the poorly ones

    Well, I'm absolutely pooped. A morning's walking in the forest - up hill and down dale has shown me how unfit I am. I must do something to rectify that. I ache big time. The dog came too and, of course, rolled in everything possibly rollable. So I got home and had to bath her before I could do anything. She's now snoring away on the settee getting the covers slightly damp in the process. I've had a bath and a good moisturise of my face (I think I've caught the sun today - although it was v. windy and quite cool). I now need to think about dinner and then go through the annual accounts the accountant has just emailed through.

    So, I won't be flying tonight (sorry Pigpen) - it'll be accounts, the odd pop onto here whilst dinner's doing -eat dinner and then a seriously early night.

    Nope... the back room was a tip first!! I haven't tidied it in weeks!!

    I am guilty however of dumping 3 tubs of toys in the middle room to be sorted through with the rest of the toys ASAP.. probably hubby's and my easter challenge!!

    To get the toys sorted through and the ones we are keeping in the loft and the room decorated.

    I think I deserve a dog biscuit Pigpen.

    I managed to hold my own on a 5-6 mile yomp with some extremely fit young men and didn't wimp out and ask to be carried - even over the seriously muddy bits.

    I know it's not flying, but it IS unusual...

    Thank you Pigpen ~ingratiating bow~ I need that - even if it is broken - to keep my strength up to even be able to cook the dinner this evening.
