Well I reckon that the Irish Leprachaun MR BLUSH
has brought me good luck 'cos my smilie link has worked so far this morning!!
Did I confess yesterday to having gained 6 lbs?
Well I got on the scales just now
and seem to have lost just over 1 lb
so hopefully by next week
the scales will be recording a much more reasonable number...
HAPPY SO good to read a great long post from your good self!! Please though don't get too excited 'cos it was only 1 church service I played in!! It is such a grey horrible looking day here in England I rang up my gardener and told him not to bother coming. I didn't have too much for him to do and the thought of him being "sogged" into the ground was too much!!
I am sad that your mum is still not acknowledging your move to Tennessee..(
I can still spell it!!) Its not like you are moving to the other side of the world...like England!! Can't you woo her over with the idea of holidays in Southern Belle land?? It must be making the whole job much harder for you and DH. Looks like the "heavy mob" will have to give her a good talking to!!
LINUS...I am here awaiting your phone call!!
I DO hope your family has settled down A LOT since when I was on the other end of the phone last night! From what I heard they ALL need their heads banged together..
I DO hope DH can bring himself to a different way of thinking..this new house is a chance of a lifetime and yes, who cares really about it not being able to get the highest internet connection in the universe...surely its family life and general happiness that counts...frivolities can always be made up later..families do not simply come on tap...and NEW houses are a chance to be snapped up and jumped at...the chance in a lifetime is here and will not, in my humble experience, be repeated EVER!!!
Ok! I will get off my podium now and give the next man a chance!!
I hope the pains are settling down a bit. I am usually miserable enough for everyone on this thread without you being unhappy too
Oh I forgot to say that the heating installation has not even started yet!! I wanted a quote from a couple of firms and there is a 28 day wait to get the British Gas (now under TRANSCO) round. That day comes on the 9th November I think, and 2 days later a different department comes to lay the pipeline to a meter on my front wall. I am SO hoping to have it done by Christmas. I will be paying off the bill FOREVER but I am so looking forward to the "controlability"of separate radiators in every room
and even a gas cooker when my present one eventually gives up the ghost, which I actually hope it will not for a good while yet!!
MISS MEL I hope you have not worn yourself out totally over the last few days. And please, as Happy has already said, DO NOT throw yourself into a 14hr day over the USA elections today when America wakes up!!
I wonder who is going to be the winner? Kerry and Bush appear to be neck and neck as far as we are hearing
Anyway, Miss Mel, wrap up warm when you venture out and DON'T get over involved!!!
See we all know you too well now!!
SHAD I bet you are very pleased that DB is willing to take on the "house-sitting" job when you go to your new position in either Perth or Melbourne...that must be a weight off your mind! Which would you prefer by the way, Melly or Perth? When do expect to actually finish this contract for good and go on to your next challenge?
MEADOW and
ROSEBLUSH how are you? We don't seem to have heard from your good selves for a while..hope you are well and batting down the hatches ready for the winter and the bears to come looking!!
Well I guess I had better go and do something with my day. Don't know what!! Nothing really specific to do. Be back soon! T.T.T.T.!!
