Aha, good planning ;)

Not been hit by downpour yet, not looking good though very dark. Great start to half term :rolleyes:

Just popping by for a swift bottle or 3.

Drinks all round for everyone that's having a rotten, stinky time and for everyone having a good time. As that's everyone. Let's drink the bar dry. :beer: :beer: :beer:

I'll have a drink as well, line up my Merlots!
Been trying to cut down but hey back in here again;)

Phyl hope Gregor is on the mend soon, this is why I don't have kids, way too much stress:wub:
Great news MnB, not only back safely but back into your old jobs so quickly:D
Fi's got her reports finished and Dewb's sold her house:thumbup:
As for me, I am now working in two places. Mr Nasty boss knew someone who wanted some extra help and put me in touch with them. Funny thing is that it was one of the places I really wanted to work in. Hope is that the hours keep increasing in one and decrease in the other...Sometimes things do turn out to be for the best in the end:thumbsup:

That is great news :thumbsup: lets hope the hours go the right way for you :fingerscrossed:

Have to stick to no alcohol for the next 4 weeks :eek: so water for me :thumbdown:
I have had a bad reaction to some anti inflammatorys that I was taken. My stomach lining is horribly and painfully inflamed and I feel constantly sick :thumbdown: Its just cost me £14.00 to start to put right damage done by £7.00 peperscriptionfrown: oh and I have the pain back that I was taking anti ininflammatory'sor :rolleyes:

Cant eat anything at the moment and Doc has advised that I try only plain stuff like boiled rice and grilled fish. On a plus think of the weight loss :unsure:

Oh Dewb, that's terrible news, NO alcohol for 4 weeks!!!:scaredhair: Can't have you in here drinking water while the rest of us are drinking enough wine to floor an elephant:rofl:

Seriously though, do hope you get better soon:wub: I'm sure the stress of selling the house and emigrating can't have helped either. All the best x

Dewbs sorry to hear you are poorly,hope you are on the mend soon.

B great news about job etc,hope it all works out for you.

Sue :fingerscrossed: it all works as you hope.

Everyone else....hope all is well in your life.

My wee one is improving slowly;he has to rest but not in his nature. He was always on the go so is finding it REALLY hard to relax and chill. Got him some work from school to help with the boredom during the day ( for both of us:o ) and trying to find activities that don't require using a lot of energy. So far done colouring in,making paper planes,playing computer games,scrabble,battleships, and making a poster for his badge work at Scouts.Going to get a check up at hospital today so :fingerscrossed: all is well.:wub:

Sooooooo....will need lots of wine before the end of the recuperation period so get 'em lined up barman:D
