Great to read about the stuff in Moldova, looking forward to the future projects.

Niminy, how scary! He is still really poorly so he will stay home again tomorrow. He has had three viruses on the trot, had three days off last week then well enough to go back to school for the last two, and the same the week before, poor lad. He was absolutely fine til just before bedtime yesterday.

NW day sounds great. Feel like I could do with a day like that right now!

NW sounds fab.

Cambridge is a bit far to go for good compost although with all the rain most of my soil appears to have been washed away so I was tempted for just a moment!

Hope everyone has survivied the weekend and Monday morning...?

UniqueAndAmazing · 19/03/2013 13:58

just about survived! Grin

We went to a friend's DD's birthday party on Sunday afternoon, straight after church. It was lovely - the DD is 1, so it was more for the adults (there were other children, but they were sent to play upstairs!), and we all sat around drinking tea and playing with the littlies. :)
it was lovely, so relaxing :)

pm me if you do Mary!

MadHairDay · 19/03/2013 16:08

Afternoon :)

Jaynebxl · 19/03/2013 16:14

We have a mountain of chicken poo too if anyone wants more than Niminy can supply!

Bit rough here... My son is still ill off school and now has an ear infection on top of it all. And he just had blood coming out of his ear so I'm waiting for the dr to call me back now.

And we still don't seem to be any nearer to moving house ... The estate agent yesterday said to look at 8 weeks :-(

But ... The sun has been out today and I'm going out for curry tonight so life's not all bad!

UniqueAndAmazing · 19/03/2013 16:22
Grin us too - we've got 3 hens in the garden and they make a lot of poo!
niminypiminy · 19/03/2013 16:27

Jayne hope the dr has called and the ear is nothing serious.

I'm fuming because some vile person has stolen £900 from my bank account. Bank say they will investigate and then I may get it back.

UniqueAndAmazing · 19/03/2013 17:01

Angry for you.
:( too.

Dutchoma · 19/03/2013 17:23

Oh Niminy how could they do that?

niminypiminy · 19/03/2013 17:38

Tis the curse of Internet shopping. Real shops with real money - it's the only safe way. Sad

Jaynebxl · 19/03/2013 18:59

Blimey how did they get the money from your bank Niminy? Was it some site you've bought from who've misused your card or something?

Turns out my son has a burst ear drum. He was in agony earlier but is much calmer now. Ugh.

MadHairDay · 19/03/2013 19:01

Oh niminy, how awful, hope the bank sort it out soon. :(

Jayne, sounds tough for you, hope ds is better soon and the house move goes through quicker than 8 wks! These things do seem to take forever. :(

nickel, how's it going?

MaryBS · 20/03/2013 09:02

Thats awful Niminy, was your card cloned from a cashpoint do you think? Its happened round here recently

niminypiminy · 20/03/2013 10:28

I've no idea what happened. It's more than likely some site I've bought from has been hacked into. I bet it happens all the time. I've just spent half an hour on the phone to the bank, they've refunded some of the money, and apparently I have to wait for the rest to go out of my account and then they will refund it. (Seems odd, but they were adamant that's what their procedure is.) They didn't seem at all surprised -- I wonder how many of these calls they have every day? Anyway, it's a complete pain. And the worst thing is I have to memorise a new PIN number!

UniqueAndAmazing · 20/03/2013 21:40

mhd please do call me nickel - it's really confusing when people call me Unique, like they're talking to someone else! Grin

MaryBS · 20/03/2013 22:23
niminypiminy · 21/03/2013 06:02

Oh, Mary. What happened? Praying for you.

MaryBS · 21/03/2013 07:38

Some of the kids causing problems with DS, with sexual innuendos and gestures Angry. I've complained to the leaders. Still upset about it this morning.

MadHairDay · 21/03/2013 09:22

:( Mary. What did the leaders say? This should come under CP rules I think - I'm a Scout committee member so if you need me to find anything out then please do ask. Hope they were helpful and sort it out. Poor ds :( sending love to you and prayers.

Not feeling well this am. PLeurisy.Too cold.

niminypiminy · 21/03/2013 09:37

That's horrible Mary. I hope the leaders take it seriously and act quickly and decisively.

MHD: praying for you that spring will come, and sunshine and warmth, and give you some rest from constantly being ill.

SESthebrave · 21/03/2013 09:41

MHD - praying for you x

Mary - that sounds awful. Hope it's dealt with appropriately.

Niminy - Hope the bank resolve it fully and you remember your new PIN ok!

Nickel - hello! How's your week going?

Dutchoma · 21/03/2013 10:36

Maybe you should make it into Uniquel and Amazing.
Such sad events on here and on the prayer thread. Such a need to feel that God is indeed with us. Feel it deep down.

UniqueAndAmazing · 21/03/2013 11:07

Mary :(
that sounds awful.
hope the leaders can do something about it.

I might change to unickelandamazing.
(it looks weird, though, doesn't it!)
