    Good morning all.

    Helen, I'm pleased to hear that you are feeling better and that Mum is OK and I hope that Bob's new tablets do the job [​IMG]

    I'm getting on pretty well now and am, carefully, doing some work in the garden. [​IMG] With the help of Tracy I have been removing a section of lawn and turning it into another bed and have also been continuing to cut new edges around the grass. Mrs shiney is keeping a close eye on me and making sure I don't overdo things :D

    Have a great day. :D

    Morning all!!

    Its World Rat Day 2008!

    http://news.uk.msn.com/world-rat-day.aspx

    We're having a little critter party later, little rat friendly cakes from a recipe i developed, with music and play time all together on the bed! :D They also got a new giant hammock for each cage as a pressie from mummy [​IMG]

    Off today to sort out my travel insurance for the holiday, and Darrens dads birthday tea this evening, i feel a lot of energy being spent today.

    I've been written off work again until the 17th, then i hve to make the decision as to stick about and see if they'll bend my hours at all or not. Big dicisions. I'm scared for my health and i want to protect myself, but at the same time, really don't want to leave work. Its not stressful bar having a dragon for a boss, and i want to have a bash at maybe a few hours less, i dont know >.<

    Anyhoo, I best go shower and get out my walking sticky ready for the day.

    By the way, i will just mention, i don't pay for my auntographs, I write personal letters and handmade cards with a photo inside and a SAE asking jolly nicely for a signing :D

    Have a lovely day in what you do, and spare a thought for ratties on their national day! :D

    Morning all.

    Why thank you Shiney I hope that you also are able to continue to get along with your health problems nice and steady, remember it's far better to go along at a slow speed than too crazy and mess yourself up..... what with summer and all to look forward to. [​IMG]

    Thank you also Marley it seems everytime we go to the hospital we hit another hurdle with Bob's health if it's no one thing it's the other.....nice to know about your friend although he is an awful lot luckier than Bob as no matter what happens in the future Bob will not be allowed a kidney transplant due to the cancer he has had.

    He's at peace with that although sadly I dread to think of the 'what if? factor....but you never know what could happen in this life and we all try to have as much fun as we can which I think is the best way to be. [​IMG]

    It's always nice having the little ones but boy is it nice sometimes when they go home... maybe its because we are getting old! :D .
    Do you feel the same sometimes Marley? Not the old bit sweetie! :D

    Finally ordered the greenhouse yesterday although due to us dragging our feet trying to find a date that was suitable for us (and of course finding a greenhouse that we both agreed on) we just missed out on a 15% discount doh! :( Never mind I'm sure we will have plenty of fun putting the thing up! :D

    Have a nice weekend everyone! [​IMG] Hel.xxx.

    Good morning world [​IMG]

    Went off babysitting last night so didn't get home until midnight.Could have done with having a lie in this morning but Willow doesn't know the meaning of the word lie in :rolleyes:

    Shiney glad to hear that everything went ok with the removal of the stitches and nice to hear you are getting rid of some more of that grass.Flowers are much more nicer to look at and I am sure you won't miss a bit of grass with all that amount you have got :D

    Marley,Good Luck with all your tests and hope that it turns out OK for you. [​IMG]

    Helen, sounds like you had your hands full again with the little ones.You are going to enjoy your greenhouse and give it a few months you will be wishing it was an even bigger one. :D
    Hope as well that Bob gets on ok with his tablets and that they do the trick..

    Walnut,love your little racing bike up and down the hill,one of your best yet.

    Well I do hope you have a nice day in all that you do.The sun is already shining,so it looks like it might be a good day and I am ready for the snow tonight/tomorrow :cool:

    Whoops! Does nice and steady include cutting most of the lawns and cutting out the edges for the new flower beds [​IMG] . I did get Tracy to remove all the turfs :D

    Kandy, I suppose I should put up some before and after photos. We've got to dig in compost and then decide what plants to put in. Mrs shiney has lots of plants waiting for homes [​IMG]

    We've also partially prepared the trials bed. I'll take photos and hope there will be something worth showing.

    We are just about to go out for a walk in the beautiful sunshine [​IMG]
