I only get flowers from DH when its a) my birthday b) our anniversary or c) i have his baby!

IvortheEngine · 06/10/2006 09:59

Thanks for that, Tortoise! I've just grabbed it back in.

You get given flowers more often than me then jarm! Dh said it's my fault (he is sort of joking btw) that he never remembers our anniversary and that's because it's on a bank holiday weekend each year and we're usually away on holiday! I manage to give him a gift even if we're on a ferry coming back from France!

Ooops sorry Ivor!
Ive just hand washed this which i got today from Ebay! It says spondge clean only but had a wee stain in it(yuk) so i had to wash it! What chance have i got of it drying by tomorrow lunch time?

damewalesornot · 06/10/2006 10:06

Ivor we were in Borth and Aberystwyth.

IvortheEngine · 06/10/2006 10:48

Tortoise - You're forgiven. I wasn't sure which item you were referring to on the photos. Hope it wasn't the fancy dress outfit!

damewalesornot - So you were within about 30 metres of my home at least once and you didn't pop in! Sniff. Be like that, then!

QuootieSpookypie · 06/10/2006 10:50

damewalesornot - Is your dh going to accept the job then? Oooh! Are you coming to live in my neck of the woods? I can advise you on lots of things. My rates are very reasonable. Cups of tea and a plate of hobnobs per session. That sound alright to you? If you drove from Aber to Borth then you passed within sight of my house. You just needed to look right in the exact second it was in view.

Tortoise - what are you like?!

IvortheEngine · 06/10/2006 10:57

QSP - No to the underfloor heating. Funny how the Romans managed it yonks ago and yet it's not the norm now.

squatchette · 06/10/2006 10:59

Just a quick hello ,

IvortheEngine · 06/10/2006 10:59

Ruby - Look after yourself and do what you can in manageable chunks. Don't over do it, though. Take an executive decision re: the taxi!

You're welcome, Ruby. I think it was QSP I posted a message to last night about heating system maintenance but I could be wrong. Strewth, I sound really exciting, don't I?

tessasmum · 06/10/2006 11:06

Off to Bedford to the dentist later and there is a flower market there on Fridays - excellent excuse

damewalesornot · 06/10/2006 11:08

Ivor maybe you can answer my question re schoolWales thread

TortUREoiseChamber · 06/10/2006 11:10

Hope you feel better soon ruby.

What do you mean what am i like?? !!! LOL

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 06/10/2006 11:11

Morning all. Its raining here again. I got soaked doing the school run.

Happy Birthday to SS`s DD. My DD 2nd Birthday next month. 2 years already! Does not seem that long ago that I was carrying her.

Does a pot plant with flowers count has flowers ?

I must do some real FLYing today. I have my daily jobs to do yet!

Tortoise get your pennies together and get some gas. I bet you would be surprized how much you have with 1p, 2p, 5p, etc. I have a small jam jar and it was full, I had just over £5 in there It could save you money but not useing the T/D and use the heating instead and you will also be warm as well If you do what I do and turn off the heating upstairs and hallways etc. (turn the rads off) then you will only be heating in the rooms you need to be warm in. The bath room one cant be turned off though. Thats because you have to have 1 open rad just incase the heating is turn on, it cant run without 1 rad open. (Things go wrong then if not) The bathroom 1 is the normaly the 1 they dont not put a temperature tap thingy on. HTH
Right I better get on with some tidying and then hoover the lounge. there loads of crumbs from DC toast this am

IvortheEngine · 06/10/2006 11:11

damewalesornot - Yes, just spotted and posted onthe other thread. I'd want to talk about schools in too much detail i.e. their reputations, etc etc so it's best done off board. Do you have CAT? I don't but can do it or others have my e-mail address i.e. Joolstoo, Twiglett, mummyhill, if you know them to ask for it?

singersgirl · 06/10/2006 11:18

Still here! I haven't done much beyond basics this week as I've done my back in (been to chiropractor) and we've got 2 distant rellies from Oz staying, which has messed up all my routines.

You all sound as if you are doing brilliantly. Flowers from my garden? Don't make me larf.
