lil_me.. with dd3 we had 18 months of dry nights and she is back to wetting every single night, has been for months! I think mine actually finds the sensation of being wet comforting.. and so wee's on purpose.

Mudbath.. go do some cleaning.. or I'll put you in detention and give you extra tasks!! Mind you.. detention in the remedial class must be good lol

lil_me

Ooooo now that might be one for Trading Standards, it's been a while since you bought the car but as you'd kept taking it back and they have done nothing, you might have a case there to get them to do it, the ones on mine were replaced 4 month after we bought the car as we kept taking it back......if not price up the parts, see what they cost and then maybe it's just that the parts are expensive and you'll then know what sort of price you are looking to pay to get them done.

I suppose I should do something, I know I will make myself some lunch

Nicky - the ghost tour sounds great! Do you have a link to the tour?

Was just a spot of handbags at the full time whistle. Davie Weir is a great player:D Was at the pub watching the game, and yet again celtic are jammy barstewards:mad: 14 matches they have won this season in the last 5 minutes!

Tell me about it!! I thought a draw would be fair. Great game for a neutral. Fantastic goal by Nakamura, fanstastic penalty save by McGregor. Still reckon the league's in the bag and probably the Scottish cup too. Would also like to see you win the UEFA cup as well seeing as we're not in it anymore. Let me warn you, Florentina are just as jammy as Celtic

Afternoon all

One load of washing today, really windy here but dry (though cloudy) and it's dry and put away already.

Cleaned out the fish tank (yep, still got that one fish).

Made a couple of phone calls I had to. Got somewhere on one, not sorted the other out yet.

Did some photocopying and wrote a cheque (hate doing that).

Best wishes to everybody going through hard times at the moment.

He couldn't help being ratty.. there was no need to eat him.. then to go sleep him off..

You'll not be catching me later!!! :eek: I'm going to find the hunter who saved granny and red riding hood!!

Just got an email from the secondary school to say no kids (other than 6th form and Yr11) in school on the strike day (24th April), wonder what the primary will do?

DD's school sent home a letter yesterday saying "these classes are NOT to attend on the 24th but these classes ARE. We're sorry but for health & safety reasons this is the best we can do to keep the school running normally" DD is in a class that WILL be in school though so I don't mind :rotfl::rotfl:
