As you might of guessed I'm not a complete health fanatic, but some of the different teas really seem to help me, especially ginger for indigestion! smiley - biggrin - "is she smiling or is it wind?"

Have you looked at the Prof's site? It seems to go on forever ..... must have taken him/her ages smiley - wow

Thank you for giving me the good stuff - makes a change, usually get given the grotty kind smiley - laugh

We've trained Holly, so if we just say the word "cat" she barks & tears to the back door to go out! If we go to the back door & quietly say "cat" while opening the door quietly - she stays quiet & then charges down the garden path barking smiley - laugh We've had loads of other people's cats in our little garden: after the birds & messing all over the place, so we got a bit cheesed off with it!

Do you good for one night I am sure smiley - biggrin - abstaining

Afternoon!

Yes, thanks - missed the speciality flask this morning smiley - biggrin

Prof (on the word threads)

Holly: dog-no, girl-yes - she has R wrapped completely round her paw - me as well, mind you, whenever he goes away she's straight upstairs at bedtime & then has the audacity to sleep in (last weekend till 12.45pm!) When R is at home she wakes him by barking at anything from 6.30am. smiley - biggrin

Hope you've had a good day smiley - biggrin

You're costing me a fortunesmiley - biggrin

Lunch break. Don't fancy anything to eat.

Can I ask, what sort of girl smiley - dog you have ?

smiley - sorry it it's on your PS.

Well, a very big smiley - ta for tomorrow's flask!

Aren't I worth the cost? I keep asking my husband that smiley - laugh

Careful there, eat at least at each mealtime - your energy levels need food - doesn't have to be much. It's a drag sometimes having diabetes, because when I'm not hungry I still HAVE to eat, but I can get away with something like a milky coffee & large banana!! No comments please smiley - winkeye

Holly's mum was a x between a whippet & Jack Daniels (whoops! on my brain smiley - biggrin) Jack Russell, but her father is ...unknown. Her mum came from Wood Green, but no-one knew she was expecting pups. I was looking for a dog at the time (I grew up with dogs - mum bred them) & R heard of these pups - so we "risked" it & spent a tenner to buy her!

It's not on my space, but I think I may add it - save the old fingers - thanks for the idea smiley - ok

Must re-read yours again too!

Yep, later ....

I am smiley - wow - tell my husband would you? smiley - smiley

Nothing planned - just the usual humdrum ..........

Except for this morning - I've got to get down to the local hall where we hold our art soc. meetings - I've organised another workshop so I just have to check off who has turned up & try to retrieve the money from those who haven't paid yet! Must change the system smiley - biggrin Then I'll leave them working - come home & go back to bed smiley - laugh

Enjoy the football!

I watched the first Man Utd game last night - the old films from c.1900 to 190.. that have been discovered, restored & are showing on BBC2 - it really shows life in the Edwardian times - mainly in the North of England.

Gotta go smiley - run

Hope you got your money !

Shirps

Hiya!

Only 7 came to the workshop (we allow for 15), but I retrieved any monies owing! smiley - smiley We'd had nearly a full workshop, but people cried off either because a) they were ill, or b) they hadn't paid & couldn't be bothered to go, or c) something better came up smiley - sadface As I said, in future we'll get their money before they go on the list - ha! However, a small class is not a bad thing, but the society loses money - ah well: put the prices up for the next 3 - that'll show 'em. smiley - evilgrin

Anyway, how was the football? Do you stay & watch or just give them a lift to play?

Did the rest of your weekend go OK?

Here's a smiley - tea to help keep you going or are you a smiley - coffee fiend too?

Oh! Everyone says how "organised I am" - smiley - biggrin you ought to see the bits of paper lying around at home - I keep looking at it: I know what I've got to do & get on to do it, but ...., well ..... there's always something better to do smiley - biggrin My last boss told me that I always worked best in an urgent situation! Sums me up: so the paper will stay there & the phone calls will wait - right to the last minute, not too late mind, but in time & no-one will know any different smiley - rofl
