Morning all -

The Big Fish upstairs seem to forget that the Minnows have lives of their own. When things go wrong. such as the printer or time running out, is there no way that some of it can be emailed to the recipients??

Maz - PC moans about shift patterns at times, especially a Late followed by an Early. By law, there should be 11 hours between shifts, but that doesn't happen :-|

LG - is this weekend a childless one? Wasn't decorating on the cards? A lack of schedule may keep us on our toes, but it does help in the forward planning!

Not sure what our plans are for today - possibly the hedge if it doesn't rain.

morning all its not as wet as yesterday so have been to a@@a now jsut catching up with the news froggy and i are going to borrow car while A is on the playstation and TV then we can have some lunch I have tea to cook later and lunch tomorrow to do
There is no way we have 11 hours between shifts at times DET particularly on Back to backs as we call them

Afternoon all.

DET, would you believe!! They all get electronic copies before hard copies are posted out, but they can't sit in their armchairs reading those!! :-P :-P

More hedge cutting!! I hope the weather is good so that you can get it finished. The sun is shining here today so I am trying to get the washing dry!! Clouds are circling, but no rain yet!

I don't blame you for falling asleep, LG!! I was off to bed early (ish) last night. Is H anywhere closer to moving into her own place yet with the littlies??

Maz, enjoy your lunch if you are sneaking off out for it!! I am just having a snack before I go to Sain*****'s, then home for more packing!! :-D :-D

We snook out enjoyed lunch and as its saturday froggy has had to go cos the buses stop early where he is they get no buses until monday morning then its hard as the home needs staff at weekends.
A's girlfriend is due about 6.30 so have to finish tea ,Lunch is roast beef so you will need to line up at about 3pm again with your plates,yorkshire puds will be homemade too
well I am off til wednesday sleep so its been a nice break this one I got the rota for next week lol

Bet it was nice to get out with more freedom than usual as you had the car, Maz. Good for you. Enjoy your days off. I won't tell you relax because I know you won't!! :-D :-D

I am now sitting down absolutely bushed and my back is breaking. I have been sealing boxes and carrying them to store in the shed. I managed to get more in that I thought, so going reasonably well.

Tonight is tv night with my feet up. I might put some more photos in the album whilst I am sitting! :-D :-D

Hello YG i do relax cos i have to at times my body says so lol once tea is organised i shall sit down and enjoy the TV lol
How is the packing coming along ?It will be chaos when it happens

All at Maz's again for a feast! Perhaps we should organise a kitty so that we could chip in, or at least do the washing up!

Glad first day at school started off with smiles LG, hope it ended with smiles!

:-P :-P to the Big Fish at YG's work. How are you getting on with the packing?

When are you off to London Det?

Sorry this is a hit and run - I have spent far too much time on computer today and need to whizz round to make it look as though I've been busy doing jobs ;-)

Hi CT. You naughty girl!! Have to cover your tracks now and let OH think you have been busy all day!!

Packing is going well, Maz. Much better than I expected.

The wardrobes are being collected next weekend, so I can move the bed and drawers round which will make more room for some boxes. :-) :-)

Evening YG my you have been busy. We had great plans for starting decorating the littlies bedroom this weekend but youngest son is here for the weekend so is sleeping in there. No sign of them moving yet as H has just started her Nursing degree and until she finds a job to fit in around it she will not be able to afford anywhere of her own.

Glad you were able to have time out today Maz especially as you don't have to rely on the bus to do so. It's a pity that A couldn't run Frog home later tonight.

Mind you don't over do things YG, but well done squashing more things into the shed.

CT - we're going to London on Tuesday, to see the Pompeii exhibition at the BM. We booked the tickets months ago. Now we've sorted out train fares, we're trying to work out the cheapest way to get to our station. We can probably get the one an hour bus there, but there is a 2 hour gap when we are likely to want to get home. We'll have to go into the village tomorrow and see how much the car parks charge for all day. It's not that we're tight, you understand ;-)

morning all
Froggy does get lifts from A but we dont like to take advantage of the good will there are times when i ask if Froggy has been helping or doing DIY but for just a day out its a bit unfair and froggy is responsible for the security of the building .
its a mild morning here but autumn is here me thinks

Good morning Maz, definitely an Autumn feeling creeping in. Lovely blue sky and sunshine though.

Morning - Big puffy clouds but with lots of blue sky around here. They keep saying that we will have showers, but other than on Friday, they've missed us. That probably means that the pots need watering!

LG - with the extra guest this weekend, hope this doesn't mean that you need to convert the shed into a bedroom :-0

Assuming it stays dry, OH needs to be encouraged into the garden - either the hedge or the grass. He thinks he's b*ggered up the lawn mower and has been eyeing up those in the end of season sales. First of all he needs to find out if it works or not! He's had 'permission' to replace it for the last couple of years, but is reluctant to spend the money. Despite how it may come across, we can afford it. Men, eh?

Morning everyone.

Lovely blue sky and sunshine, but rain forecast later.

Need to make a promise to the ironing today that it will be done :-( :-( At least it will give me a break from cardboard boxes :-D :-D

DET, tell your OH to let the moths out of his wallet and buy that new mower while he still has permission. The permission granter might change her mind if she finds something else is preferable :-D :-D

LG's got an extra visitor ??? Not one of my firemen, I hope!! :-D :-D :-D

Maz, is that roast in yet!! I'm getting peckish :-D :-D :-D

Definitely an autumn feel now. No more walking on dry grass. It is wet, wet, wet with the dew :-D :-D

Lunch has been organised lasered all around washing up done ,now time to really chill out .got some jobs to do but they can wait a while .I have got the remote control so will see what is on tv at the moment .

My extra visitor is a Butcher YG.
He is not sleeping in the shed he has been in the Mini Gooners room as they are away this weekend.

I have so far done, shopping,ironing,cut the lawn,correspondence, scrubbed the lounge rug and now going to sew on some name tapes before seeing to tea. Phew :-D :-D :-D

That's alright then, LG!!! I will let you off :-D :-D

You have been a busy girl. I am pleased someone else is having to work hard!! :-D :-D

I've done more packing, more boxes in shed, almost a full ironing basket done and dinner in the oven roasting. :-D :-D I ate Maz's lunch, but I'm hungry again :-D :-D :-D
