Happy halloween!

2H your poor cousin. 30

Don't like rugby myself. Although I have noticed that the better England are, the more it is appearing on our tv. Don't know the difference between league and union despite being a northerer.

UD hope the cold isn't too bad. So much going round atm.

Did anyone watch the tv prog last night? Was slightly reluctant to talk about it in case it was a really bad programme, cos what was shown is a chunk of what my job is . Pleased to report they filmed one of our meetings but it wasn't shown, so I wasn't on the telly!

oooo what do you do then rgee I watched it till about 10pm then fell asleep

RGee - as soon as you said about the regional mathematics thingie i wondered if you were gonna be on the telly!

we went to have a look at Chesham today, which is where we might be moving to. seems very nice, good infants school and boy's grammar school (although whether we'll be there that long is a different matter) there's a tube station which is on the Jubilee line, so direct route into London (so i can come and see you Shimmer!! yay! Shimmer looks like this: ) but also some lovely woodland nearby for lovely walks with toddler Zacky. all in all, i'm feeling quite positive, although i did get talked into eating a McDonalds today (bleargh) and feel really crappy now.

ooh exciting about chesham ud

rgee I missed your prog - sorry

thanks for the advice EaH about getting someone to do the pressies for me, why didn't I think of that?!

2H - fingers crossed for your cousin

I haven't got clue where Chesham is UD (even though I live in W London my geography of the rest of it is appalling!), but it sounds very nice

Rgee, I didn't watch your prog but most of my work colleagues did as it was the main subject of discussion at breakfast today. Can I tell them I 'know' someone who was on it? They'll be dead impressed

wilkie, am v jealous of your Sawyer dream ... must start watching my Lost boxset in attempt to have one of those myself!

Ok so the bug was contagious. DH and I spent the entire night throwing up. Feel like shit. Off back to bed.

And to top it all off I lost fuck all at WW (hmmm, maybe I should go now after the pukefest - bet that shifted a few lbs!.....every cloud eh?)

Oh Wilks you poor thing!
Hope you are better soon.

Any idea where he could have picked up something like that from?

Eah - re your idea about building soc jobs...there is a perfect one advertised for at the moment. 2 days a week and every other saturday. BUT I need it for Feb and not for now.....grr!

Btw - UD. Macdonalds only make you feel crappy coz you don't eat enough of them..!
mmmm Macdonalds breakfast!

(f*cking MSN messenger still not working. I feel like a leper in my own little colony!)

UD i used to live in Amersham just up the road from Chesham - lots of nice countryside out that way. On the met line though not jubilee! Also they have grammar schools there so if you can get them through the 11+ the schools are fantastic. Quite an expensive area for housing but lots of positives.

becks - good to see you back again!! we were looking at rentals and although it is more expensive than where we are at the moment but we were looking at a 2 bedroomed cottage which looked lovely and was £750pcm. sadly it's gone under offer, but there are other options which are looking likely.

Not sure Liz. It was either the chinese we ate (cos I was depressed after WW) or it was the bug. Strange though cos DH was FINE until we ate the chinese.

I have reported it to environmental health just in case. We both felt better once we had 'cleared out' so to speak.

J picked his bug up from the DTs I think.

UD - I am no help as don't know that area but how exciting for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lizz def worth writing to local banks/b.socs and stating what days you can do and when you are available to start as we keep all cv's on file and often go back through them when a vacancy arises.

Wilkie - seems strange I'd be inclined to think it was the chinese what do you have anything with chicken or prawns?

Becks - hi nice to see you again

UD - I went to grammar school (I went on teh old system of exam/school recommendation at 13) and loved it (was very sceptical about going as was single sex ) so if you are in the area and z gets the chance its a great experience

wilkie poopie do hope you feel better soon, my dad is poorly at the mo there is loads of crap going around.

Ud sounds great hope you get sorted soon.

Well how bad is this l has just had a nap so me and a have been for a bath and we are now both in out pj's at 2.58

that sounds grat to me lal I love my pj's (mental note to ask for new ones at xmas) sorry to hear about your dad

talking of xmas all this looks a bargain

trubikeswheeledgoods&dep=truend one down reduced to 12.49

oooooooooooooo just got hattie one of those little smoby cars that have the handle you can push them with (and its pink and purple!!).

Got it off the 'for sale' boards here and it appears lady selling it lives 15mins away so I can collect it and it'll be very cheap wey hey I am so pleased she'll love it!!

and now I am filling up the thread talking to myself - ellie watching wind in the willows and hattie found a plastic cup and some martians from ellies manic martian game highly entertaining

I still feel sick

Feeling V sorry for myself and DH is irritating me cos he is laid out on the sofa groaning and doing his best 'poorly sick' voice

It's all about ME dontcha know!

Aww Wilkie hope you feel better soon. Tell your DH to stop being so soft

Eah - that is a reet bargain! If you stop any more, let us know.

Lal - pj's in the afternoon sounds fab. Am v

DH out at running club. Shall I crack open the Green & Black's chocolate in the cupboard? Think it is the full on dark chocolate flavour

(((( hugs ))))) poor wilkie (although I started feeling sick about half an hour ago am hoping its huger not a bug)

RGee go on you know you want to (on the toys r us website they have a pink/purple slide fior £16!) do you mean the smoby car or the tractor to keep an eye out for? (smoby car was £10 collecting tomorrow )

Slide for £16?? Where? It would be fab in our new garden?
Think I meant to say if you find any more bargains let us know. Not quite sure if my brain was fully engaged to fingers when I typed that last post.
