Yep! £50 to talk for 2 & half hours! I'll be a struggle, but I'll do, my best! It's about suntan lotion from Boots! The best one I had was testing gin. I came home drunk and £30 richer!

I'm pearch on a stool in the kitchen with my laptop and all around me is thick dust! He's just invited a family for dinner too! twit! Got to make two cakes tonight as well!

Cheers Mo - trying to keep positive - just doesn't help that I had a bad feeling BEFORE any bleeding but hey ho, what will be will be.

Trying to keep myself busy and........wait for it..........I'm in direct contact with someone from the BBC She contacted me direct via Facebook and I've just emailed her back at her bbc.co.uk email address!!!!!!

Off to make lunch for ds....will keep you posted!

Hi all, if anyone asks, I wasn't here. I'm not sitting on my bed MNing instead of putting stuff in the loft and cleaning. you didn't see me, right!

LT, fingers crossed for Friday. If its any consolation, I was 4 mths pg, before I knew beacause AF didn't stop at all.

Meg - I'm don't 'do' pets. In fact I have famously managed to kill my neighbours fish two years running when they were on holiday and also break the door key on another house, so I couldn't get in to feed the rabbit! However, sorry you had to wake up to that this morning and thankfully none of the children had to witness it.

Megs - sorry about your loss and hopefully mindees will accept the new ones.

Awww came down stairs this morning to find that Scabbers (our very very ancient Rat) had gone to Rat heaven during the night.

He has become more and more infirm over the last few months, and we knew he didnt have long, his fur had turned gray even, but still he was lovely, the children loved him.

Thank goodness my Darling boy who left in May wasn't about, he wouldnt speak to anybody till he had given Scabbers his morning treat, and Scabbers was his first really clear word (after Mama and Dada of course).

So have cleaned out his cage, sterilised everything, and tonight we are off to get two baby females, I dont want the cage to be empty when the mindees return next week.
