    Hello All

    Oh dear, made a mistake with when the builder is coming to do the roof........he's not coming on Tuesday, he's phoning me on Tuesday ! What a dumbo I am getting all confused like that.
    It's all this de-cluttering -its sending me daft !
    Oh well, stuff from my megga clear out been collected so I have space..........and a kind of sadness that it's gone !!!! How silly is that ???
    Still, I now have space in wardrobes and cupboard.........bet I quickly fill it with stuff desparate for a home...........lol

    Don't plan to do much today............worn out with filling bin bags !

    Have a great day and hugs ((((((((((:o )))))))))))) to all who need them
    Mary

    Hmmm... Anus-articulatio-cubiti syndrome - I work with a few sufferers too but I'm not allowed to say things like that since I jokingly suggested to one girl (who is lovely bless) that might be the cause of her problems and she booked an appointment to see the college GP. :wall:

    please no...make it stop.....
    You couldn't make it up, could you? :wall: :rotfl: :rotfl: It must be cos you're a boffin. They'll believe anything you tell them :eek:

    I'm glad you found a better name for the disorder. I tried to think of a better one myself but the best I could come up with was Humerus-Ar5e Syndrome. Which I think you'll agree is something quite different :D

    Hello everyone!

    Not been around for a while just been so busy, ds1 + ds3 go to Malta with the Inlaws on monday (if you remember ds2 went this time last year) so iv been getting their cases packed, well almost ,and running around buying things they need.

    Also been running the book fair at school morning and evening which i do enjoy doing but really think the books are overpriced, and hate standing there when kids ask for them and there parents tell them no.

    My diet is still on track iv lost 12lb in 6 weeks so aimming to get to the stone mark by next week, i feel loads better for the weight i have lost, not that you can tell much but feel like i have more energy.

    Im just keeping a eye on the weather as have a line full of washing out and it has gone very dark, chciken in SC for tea, and iv managed to change car insurance this morning and by not just sticking with my renewal quote and changing to new insurer , iv saved ...£187 on last years price so very chuffed about that!!!

    Right i hope everyone is ok and iv not missed anything major, but big hugs to anyone needed one.
    Take care

    BETH - (((hugs))) to; what a sad time for you when you were so young.

    MRSMIX - sorry you've been unwell; I hope you're better now. How is your Dad?

    REDRUBY - You've heard the first cuckoo - summer is here (she says looking at the thunderous clouds in the sky!) Dear AUSSIE, eh, casting aspertions - she thinks she's safe being the other side of the world. She doesn't know about the OS tunnel being dug, does she?!!

    R.MAC - you know you're a serious knitter when you have your next project lined up! I get quite grumpy if I can't think what to make next. The trouble is, I want to make everything I see so I started a project book with the intention of planning everything methodically and it was working until I forgot an imminent birthday.

    Anyway, I've voted & been to the petrol station - put £20 worth in and the needle has barely moved. It's SO expensive! I've been to two banks and did not have to queue in either of them - that's a miracle, especially for LLoyds TSB! I have bought some cream to go with the Manchester Tart (by the way, TNG - what sort of tart are you thinking of?!) and I've been to the gym so I feel quite virtuous. I shall have some lunch in a minute, check the office mail and then, if nothing has to be dealt with immediately, I shall sit and do some knitting.

    See you all later.

    Hello everyone! Happy May Day!:j

    No Dancing round the maypole here - plenty of snails round the washing line in this rain though!:p :rotfl:

    Up early in the Shez household again 5.30, thanks to DD:rolleyes: - which is why I'm falling asleep in the evening, I missed Waking the Dead, and last nite I missed the Apprentice - woke up for the ending:o

    Listed 3 things on ebay at last, they've been sitting around for months!

    Then DS1 and I went and voted early on the way to dropping him off at work. Had to laugh the sign on the school said "School closed tomorrow April 31st for Voting!":rotfl:

    DS1 was not happy as he is a Liverpool Fan - so I wont mention the footie:p

    Then I went to gym to start concentrating on my training. I did 5K on the treadmill to see what time I did it in, so that I can start to get better and quicker by race day. First time this morning was 38 mins - and my knees are gonna hurt tomorrow I think!:rotfl: God that first cuppa when you get back from the gym always tastes the nicest!;)

    Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Catznine:kisses3: They are bringing Mr&Mrs back on TV you know!!! thankyou for sponsoring me! xx
