>>Had a long theraputic soak in the bath but 3012525 kept niggling my brain<<

oh dear this looks bad!!! I hope Eric appreciates all the effort you're putting in.

I did actually think of the one for mine as I was driving to the cricket (or at least, the idea for it since I wasn't sure what my no. was exactly) - which is even worse!!!

>>Also decided (in the bath) to have that kitten<<
I remember your saying about having no will power - I'm surprised you held out this long!

I had noticed - tee hee

but you did have all those sums to get right!!!

having the time on a post is more useful when the posts are a bit more spaced out I suppose

can't get hold of C on the phone so don't know what bus we're supposed to be catching - off to try again

bye for now, Andy

Hello Jane,

Back again. Had 35 minute walks each way so I've arrived back feeling rather drippy. Pub very noisy and also had the football on so I was losing concentration when Chris was talking. Obviously didn't say much myself because he commented as such - usually it's me rabbiting away. I did ask him about your school situation and he said go for staying at yr school next term - but obviously without knowing yr situation, He doesn't seem to have very much work to do out of school hours - he's doing the reports for his class even though he's leaving b4 the end of term, because, as he said, their returning teacher won't know what they've been doing recently. I'm sure this is of no help to you whatsoever.

Thanks for being of no help whatsoever, much appreciated!

Wonder why we say rabbiting when rabbits breed a lot not talk a lot.

Goodnight (trying earlier tonight!)

Sniff - rabbit - some connection surely? Sniff's breakfast concluded with a nice hot cup of carrot coffee apparently - haven't seen that in Sainsbury's.

Are you going to stick with yr decision of Friday?

Have you definitely given in re the kitten? Which are you going for? You'll be able to wow them in the Bull even if only with pix taken on the phone.

Sniff - rabbit wot you going on abaht? I'm sniffy cos that bug's back. You weren't rabbiting on which is the rabbit conection that isn't... help i'm so very confused now.

What decision of Friday? Teaching? Yes. I'll still get work from that sch I'm sure.

Kitten owner says her (adult) daughter might want the one we do... so obviously she has first pick. The other ginger and white's v cute though but no stripes on his tail as far as we can see.

Poo, pongy smell blowing in from the poluted stream at the bottom of our garden. Had this problem twice in the past - some b******s in a pub half a mile upstream knowingly let their sewage overflow into the stream and then it takes ages for the environmental agency to trace it back and tell them to repair the broken pipe or whatever it is. Neighbours have already complained - I will add my complaint tomorrow. Oh wind's changed not so bad now. usually it's quite nice having a stream down at the bottom esp in winter when it's flowing fast.

I won't bother trying to say Goodnight, it doesn't work unless I've run out of rabbiting on material.

Sniff the Rabbit was wot (I love that) I was talking abaht.

>>What decision of Friday? Teaching? Yes. I'll still get work from that sch I'm sure.<<

So you are not going to take up the offer for next term?

Posted: Sunday 18 June 2006 23:52:53

Didn't I tell you I'd said no? I know it's a job but I can't face it. I never intended going back full or nearly full time. Problem is the Head's stuck with their original class teacher off sick long term but still being employed and unless she resigns, on paper, the job's hers. But we doubt she'll be back. She should resign if she has no intention of returning. It's crippling the school's finances (insurance only covers part of the cost) and we know she doesn't enjoy teaching there. But her job's protected...So I can see me being called in anyway in Sep!

Got the windows (not MicroSoft) man coming round early tomorrow to measure up so won't be able to lie in bed dreaming. This is part of my plan to get myself organised - I'll see how it shapes up. Windows do, however, need replacing and he's quoted a very good price. You never know, I might get some other things such as the garden sorted out as well (unlikely).

>>Didn't I tell you I'd said no? <<

Yes you did but you seemed to be wavering - which was why I asked.

Mr Procrastinator wouldn't have fitted across the front cover of those little square books but what a great story that would have been.

One sunny morning Mr Procrastinator woke up. "I'll get up in a hour" he thought to himself and went back to sleep.

Perhaps not. Too dull, just like real life. I've always liked Mr Tickle with his extraordinarily ( I always relish reading that word aloud, voicing all 7 syllables ) long arms. But being extremely ticklish I would not like to encounter him in real life!!!

Good luck with the windows. Our kitchen window fell out 3 years ago and it's still nailed shut waiting to be replaced...(it's a big heavy doubled glazed window which had been put in on two tiny hinges by previous owners)thanks for the reminder about windows as I'd forgotten all about ours needing doing!

Night night

Have you been spying on me?!?!

Hope you have a good day tomorrow Jane.

One sunny morning Mr Procrastinator woke up. "I'll get up in a hour" he thought to himself and went back to sleep. But before he could drop off again, he remembered that he had many things to do. So he leapt up out of bed (no need to get dressed since most Mr Men don't seem to bother with clothes except for the occasional hat) and rushed around the house, soon completing every job that needed doing.

(from the Fantasy Mr Men series)

Morning Jane!!

Expect to see Mr Tickle in the strangest of places:

He might be waiting to tickle you now!!

Posted: Monday 19 June 2006 09:44:59

just been cutting back all the growth in the front garden with a pair of shears so mr windows can get to the windows - my arms are now like quivering jelly and i can barely hold anything!! Lots of herbs found - rue sage rosemary, buckler leaved sorrel lemon balm cotton lavender but the main mass is Tansy which has taken over - smells awful but some daft northerners used to make a pudding out of it I believe

Mr Tickle (my arms feel like his look)

Are you wearing your occasional hat?

Don't those staircases make your eyes go funny!!! I am actually quite scared of Mr Tickle as there are several places I do NOT like to be tickled. I once started a thread in QQ asking why we laugh when we're tickled as, as anyone really ticklish knows, being tickled is not at all pleasant - however it makes you laugh uncontrollably. Anyone who enjoys being tickled is not truly ticklish.

That's quite enough of that - change of subject required, I'm feeling nervous that Mr T might sudde...arghhhh he he he ha ha ha ho ho ho tee hee hee ha ha ha HELP!!! Where's that kind Mr Strong to pull him away?

I think I'd better get back to my work. Decided to work from home this afternoon - it's been blissful, sitting in the conservatory surrounded by all three cats gently snoring and the birds outside twittering away. Peace will be shattered soon...
