Lynn, you will love it when you are in there. Dillon will be fine

Madmare, I'm sorry to hear about your washing machine. It's a ****** when they go wrong.

I'm watching A Bridge too Far at the moment while drinking my coffee. Got my washing on, once the first load is out I'll get the next load and go for a run. I am determined to get fit and my cousin Lee is an ex PTI who said I should push myself. I haven't been running in a couple of days.

LYNN,feelings are totally understandable,its a huge step,but like the others have already said its going to be great You'll be tired looking at family and friends,everyone will want to visit!!
How far is it from your current home?

It took us about 1 hr 45 mins last night but we stopped in a layby for a............ cuppa.
Gorden has found on google maps its 1hr 45 mins to Brentwood which is where Gill lives and my friend its finding the shorter ways round and there are a few. That makes me feel better.
My eldest brother is 7-8 miles away in Downham Market.

Lynn stop worrying about stuff that hasn't happened yet! You got the house woo hoo! Hour and half is nothing - those of yours who want to stay in touch and visit will, wherever you live. I'm 2.5K miles from mine and see them as much as when I was a 5hr drive or train ride down in Cornwall.

TW Dunno what all this hinting at 'blokes' is? But just put it all out of your mind girl - you know it makes sense!

Bella was chucked the Tiger by me as a consolation prize because I'd found her pet dead cricket hidden behind a cushion and dispatched it - have been looking for it for two days - don't mind the odd dry biscuit or treat stashed away but not her entymological corpse collection.

It's a real effort to click around and keep up - now would appear it is not the laptop being unresponsive today it's an MS wireless MOUSE problem. Having to double click everything several times to get anywhere (bolding names is nigh on impossible so there won't be much of that - it's alright if typing and keeping going and keyboard navigation is fine but using mouse to select is a pain right now). Will see if I can dig out an old one or buy a new one on Monday.

I dropped it heavily on tiles so suspect that something inside's come loose.

Don't know if anyone else noticed LYNN'S "stopped in a layby for a ......cuppa remark?Not sure what's up with the dot dot dots One can only imagine....

See I knew if I did that someone would come along and think the worst.

It's o.k LYNN,you're a grown woman,just after buying a house!! What you and your OH chose to do in layby's is totally your own business
My OH and I,while out for a Sunday drive,often stop at a layby for a ......cuppa

Smutty, smutty, smut, smut, smut! Wash yer mouth out Eileen and behave yerself! It's not dark yet (not even here!)

Afternoon everyone, didn't get much sleep last night-'offible & muggy. Been out to my usual lunch today & now chilling indoors with my floor fan on full & the dogs making full use of it LOLOL
