Shouldn't you be working?

How is the hamster, Clanger... ??? ;D ;)
Delilah, I spotted a 30 sec window, come on gal, pull your finger out....  ;)

We have bought her a new cage, a cheap one.  The one she keeps escaping from was really expensive but over the years I have noticed that the more you spend on a hamster cage, the crapper they are.

I'm presuming you're not talking bout Delilah here......

[redimp]

 ;D

[Delilah]

I'm always escaping .......... the men in white coats are forever having to find me and lock me up again :(

TM - Why am I not surprised that you claim to be a Zen Master!

I like Postman Pat and his cat, and Mrs Goggins etc.  Thought it better than most kids stuff on telly

[BAGGY]

I am also a civil servant.
Monday nite = free.  Tues = dancing.  Wed = lotty.  Thurs = cubs.  Fri + help at beavers/scouts.  Sat = lotty.  Sun = Drama (gang show rehersals)
Think that's it.

I am a medical scientist.  Worked on the bench for the last 20 years.  Now doing the paperwork (computing) for the quality control for the last 5 years & 2 days/week.

Have a 'special needs' 9 yo son.  Has uncontrolled epilepsy, autism & developmental delay.   We STILL have tellytubbies, playschool, PP, wiggles etc...after 11 years!!! (EVERY DAY).   That is what babysits Daniel!!!  By 3 pm I literally fall asleep (so bored with it, and I have to watch him 100% of the time).  I sit in my recliner reading my gardening books ;D

Got in-laws to move in with us to help but FIL now has alzheimers.  I had been on antidepressants too long before I made that decision-can really see the light now but too late.

My hardest job is my 11 yo son.  Completely addicted to the computer (like his dad), very jealous of his younger brother and very defiant.  NEVER does anything I say.  A bit difficult with OH's head in the sand alll the time,

Was wonderful when I found this site & started gardening.  A real breath of fresh air, genuine peeps and a lot of fun which I have so much needed in my life. :)

Try to get on A4A as much as I can.  Have actually found some 'answers' bout my potatoes the other day so didn't need to post :)  But what withdrawal symptoms for a few days ;D

Now I feel so much better.

Lorry Driver - nights (hang on I just need to overtake this mini full of pensioners)
Right where was I?
Only work on average 38 hours a week so I'm up at 11 am and have a blissful 4 hours till I pick the kids up from school.

We never suffered Barney - my anti Americanism (Sorry John) really comes to the fore when it comes to Children's TV (and George Bush (there must be a witticism there somewhere)

Can't totally agree about American kids TV (although Barney is evil and so are the kids on the show) what about The Simpsons? Wait till your Father gets home, King of the Hill?

[terrace max]

..and Family Guy...

[redimp]

Can't totally agree about American kids TV (although Barney is evil and so are the kids on the show) what about The Simpsons? Wait till your Father gets home, King of the Hill?

I wouldn't put any of those in as kid's TV even though my kids love the Simpsons.  I was thinking more along the lines of the preschool and infant aged stuff.  Today we are looking at the letter zee.

No Delilah, because we have training days, I will probably not have access to my works computer ... they will have me jumping through hoops etc probably, seeing as they are training days ...  I may get a few moments, and Friday late afternoon ... but I am not sure, it will be very weird for me ...

Derekthefox ;D

I should be out there at the moment, but I did not finish until 11. oclock last night. Oh the joys of working for yourself.

Have to stay in a bit longer so I can intercept the postie who should be delivering APN'S  xmas present. She won't open it, but she is likely to shake the hell out of it . She seems to shake every box and present that comes into the house.

Once I filled a box with some broken crockery and it gave her such a shock when she thought she had broken her present. But it did not cure her.

[Delilah]

Know how she feels ....I unfortunately NEED to have a shake and a squidge of any present to try and guess, thats half the fun! :D

Anna - sounds as if lifes a little tough for you, but pleased you've found your escape with A4A and the garden :)

[undercarriage plan]

Well, I've been very kind to me and given me the morning off!!  ;D ;D ;D.....don't think I'd be very safe with any sharp impliments at work this morning.....actually,don't think I'd be very safe with a sandwich, come to think of it... ::) ;)

[wardy]

We have a no feeling or squidging rule in our house  ;D

Clanger - hate those American kids programmes - the voices get on one's wick  :)

Pete - like the new avatar.  Noggin the Nog?  Love that  :)

Anna - sounds like you have a great deal on your plate so it's good that you can come on here and chat to us about things.  Chin up  :)

I'm in a good mood this morning as I cooked poached eggs for guest's breakfast and they actually turned out right for once  ;D

[Lorna2]

ANNADL    Like others have said we are here to lend an ear anytime you want.


PETE  OY don't be cheeky about pensioners, would you like me to take you for a ride in my little old Chrysler Neon? Or even better will borrow sons Supra. BUT having previously been in haulage business for years I am inclined to agree with you ;D mind you when ruddy lorry drivers hog lanes at their steady 56mph and I want to do  seventy I get a bit frustrated ::) 


LOTTIE Read your  first post and thought.. Oh she is back with the living but have just read second post and I am not so sure!!!!!!!

[undercarriage plan]

Well, at min Lorna, am trying to work out how to explain to the school, that I've booked a band for a non existent dance......in my er "happy" state last night, bumped into chap I know in band, and made the mistake of thinking that an idea I had in head, was in fact reality..... ::) ::) ::)  so have now lumbered me with not only organising a gardening day, yes you're still coming..., but a dance after as well.....bring your sling backs....oh yes and how to wangle £125 out of school to pay for band.....will be in cupboard if you need me.... :-\

[AikenDrum]

I build/repair/upgrade computers, and I work from home. Pretty cushy, eh ?   ;D

[wardy]

Cushy?  What - with no central heating on!  Brrrrrrrrrrr  ;D

[Lorna2]

Lottie. You are just being nice to me now.... sling backs? I thought you INSTRUCTED me to bring a spade ???
