[fryalot]

is anyone else finding mn reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllly slow tonight?

No, must be you

ok

hi pesto, how are you?

I'm good thanks Squonky. DH watching rubbish on tv, so I'm enjoying a bit of MN. Are you very soggy up where you are? Hope you're not flooded?

thanks for asking.... we are ok, but Hull is practically devastated - 12000 homes flooded and the residents homeless!

Dp been in and out of school as they close it, open it, close it....

God! That's not good. Well, it is good that you aren't directly affected I mean. Sounds like an absolute nightmare for your dp aswell. We're lucky here as we live at the top of a hill. But really feel for all the poor people who can't return to their homes for months.

All we've got to worry about at the moment is whether or not sports day will be rained off for a second time, tomorrow!

dd1's sports day was rained off three times one year, they just didn't bother in the end
But she was happy because she wouldn't have won anything anyway

Ours will be cancelled if it doesn't go ahead tomorrow. My dds probably won't be too bothered either!

I'm a bit pissed off, tbh, that the national news has hardly mentioned Hull at all - I don't think people are actually aware of the scale of the problem!

but I'll get off my high horse now

Well, at least you know I've been concerned about you and understand that the news doesn't always give the full picture. Will say goodnight now as got to be up early in the morning! Nice chatting!

good night... sorry for going on!

nice to chat to you - we should do it more often

Hull on the national news now. Calling us 'the forgotten city'.
