Shabs- glad to see you're surviving!
Just put up a couple of pics from the boys school on my profile, It was their Book Week last week, and as they both have started reading my Terry Pratchett books (they have their mums good taste) they chose to dress as favorite characters from his books

Great pictures!! xx

Now got to do costumes for bloody "Egyptian Christmas" day, set for the last week of term! Since when did ancient egyptians celebrate a christian festival???????

Morning girls xx

Ruby - have a great time.
Shabs - are you any better today?
Hi everyone else, just been asked to work extra next week, have agreed, but it will mean a 45hr week with the boys birthday at the end, so starting to have a few 2nd thoughts! Mind you, it will pay for their birthday :-)

Afternoon all..............

Feeling a bit better.....H got me some Beechams flu capsules and I appear to be slightly as high as a kite....much cheaper than booze with almost the same effect!!! LOL just typed groin then!! Although I have just had a nosebleed - first one since about 1929!! Hate being ill.....

Eeeeeeeeeee by gum, that Derkster knows how to spoil a girl:o

Then I hope you get a good nights sleep...............Kale Nits Shirley Valentine xx

Morning girls xx Thank Gawd its Friday xxx

Tom is off Monday and Wednesday. Monday for the Queens 'whatever amount of years it is' celebration of being the Queen and Wednesday for the strike. Dan is struggling with his feelings about the Wednesday strike. He works for local government and some of his colleagues are out on strike. He said to me last night that he simply cant afford to take a day off....think he was looking for my approval. His boss has also said that all of their jobs are only safe till next April and he is not striking because he is afraid that he will be laid off. I told my lad, you have to do what you have to do. He has a family who depend on him. The loss of a days wages will hit him hard in his December pay. I hope that when he goes into work there isin't a picket line because he will struggle to go through it. By the Christ we are living in troubled times in this country.

.......forgot to add that I am the daughter of a bolshy shop steward - the mighty Harryster. I agree with the strike and wish I could pay Dans wages for that day so he can join in with the revolution!! Dan said 'I'm not telling Grandad that Im going in work on Wednesday ROFL!!'

rubes - I gotta have 13 extracted waiting for an op date. Will be under a GA. I have crap teeth. Fillings don't stay in, and they went to pot after having the dts.

My older two are off, both their schools striking, but the Infants are open and the dts are not impressed will have to make the most of some time with the older two.

isnt the queens jubilee next year shabs?
