    Morning all, ((hugs)) to those that want one, :hello: to those that don't.

    I think I have been the victim of a cruel April Fools joke, my calendar and PC clock all say it is Tuesday but I don't believe it for one second, it must be nearer the end of the week than that :confused:.

    Haven't yet got myself together from a busy weekend, all day Saturday sorting stuff for car boot, then up very early Sunday (5am new time) for the 50 minute drive, then home and putting all the unsold stuff away.

    And to top it all off, DS3 spent a few days at his dads house the week before last, it happened to be the time I tried the new home made laundry powder. Very impressed with the cleanliness, very impressed with the price, not impressed when Saturday morning DS3 came out in the biggest rash I have ever seen and ever since I have had to rewash everything he owns with Bold 2 in 1 as he's allergic to the borax :-( Still got at least 3-4 more loads to do.

    Anyways, car being picked up for service soon, so a good excuse to stay in and do some batch cooking. Got some fresh yeast free from my Tesco yesterday, but not plucked up the courage to get kneading yet :D

    Hi all - just popped back in to catch up with you all.

    ESSEX-GIRL - good luck at the hospital.

    JET - hope the job goes well.

    CANDYGIRL - have a fantastic time!

    MARTYN - someone special is definitely waiting out there for you - you might meet her one day very soon. (((Hugs))) to you and don't despair - what you are going through now is just the stepping stone to real happiness, just you wait and see. Meanwhile, you've got us!

    Well, I need to pop out and post some letters and then get back on with the paperwork and some ironing. I left it all over the weekend then didn't get time to do it yesterday so it's looking like Mt Everest at the moment!

    After a wet and windy start it has really brightened up and it's not even that cold. Spring is definitely here!

    See ya!

    Hello :wave:

    Been very naughty this morning and spent it knitting while laughing my socks of at Phil and Fern!!!

    Now got the DW emptied, the WM on (DH 'found' his rugby kit from saturday - I had looked everywhere for it on saturday evening, I have no idea what he did with it!) and thinking about a spot of lunch.

    Everone sounds so busy they put me to shame. Oh well - can't be wonderful all the time can I !!!!

    Right - better get on
