Happy birthday to Ava...lucky girl having such a fuss made of her!

Glad you had a good day out yesterday Maz; it will be so much easier for you to visit once Frog is living closer.

YG- camera is on charge so that the hunky fireman ( or at least their shiny engines and long hoses) can be downloaded lol

We're trying to stay awake long enough to do a bit of food shopping this afternoon. Now where did I leave my Nectar and RAC cards? Somewhere so safe, that I can't find them lol

Yep, I know that feeling DET...........I put something in a safe place and the only person it's safe from is ME. It's sometimes months before I find my safe place.

I love York but it's too far south for me to get back in time for my son getting home.

Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with Maz at Chester-le-Street one day between 2nd & 13th. The rest of the holidays I'll have my son all day and won't be able to get out.

Evening everyone. Wonder if LG is still standing lol!! Bet she is exhausted now! Hope you had a great party LG.

lol - LG is probably having a sneaky go on the inflatable slide !

There should be a couple of photos in your email box YG. We (or rather OH) had a bit of a problem downloading them and he actually managed to lose the only one which had real live fireman. Sorry about that :(

Hope Pauline and Maz will be able to get together....a nice treat for two nice people.

Got them thanks, DET! Sent you an e-mail.

The thought of LG on the slide!! It makes the mind boggle!! Although I must confess, it reminds me of the day I arrived back from South Africa! My granddaughter arrived home from school (aged 5) and immediately requested that Gran played on the slide with her. Fine, until she demanded that I came down on my back, head first!! I've never been the same since lol!!

Morning all off on the train later on I am looking forward to th einterview but the logistics of getting there is a pain but do able .I am hoping the new units are accessible if i am not successful but there are other providers in the area of similar work .
Pauline I am sure we can meet up then The second week may be better so suggest a day and i will get there .
I have found a good free discount card for travel cafes in stations its called Bite and you can get it free online seems quite good

Morning all, LOL Maz the dungeon is my second home. Watch out I am not lurking in a dark corner waiting to pounce!!!!

Had a great party yesterday but now left with a kitchen that looks like the blittz .

Morning all. Glad you had a good day yesterday LG.....and good luck with the interview Maz.

Beta Male has one of those Bite Cards as he works next to one of the main London Stations and often gets his lunch there. I'll have to ask him how it works. It's either a discount on the cost, or collect 'points'.

Not sure what we are up to today, apart from going to the bank in the village. This jet lag is taking far longer to get over than it did 2 years ago. Must be old age :(

Good luck with the interview Maz.
Any day except a Tuesday will be fine with me, but if you want to go to the market it'll have to be a Friday.

Never mind DET, you've got plenty of time to recover before you go again.........well, I think you have.

YG, I don't fancy going down a slide head first - on my back, my sister's granddaughter had me going down feet first - on my back and that was bad enough. My head was banging off the slide all the way down.

Wonder if LG's got the mess cleared up yet.

Afternoon interview went OK not sure if I am strong enough for the restraining procedures but they are going to see what is available the posts are Darlington,Newton Aycliff or tudhoe all round the area .
pauline what about the 13th Aug unless anything crops up

Don't worry about the restraining issues - in most cases you would be given a personal alarm and everyone comes a-running. Problem child is 5ft nothing and less than 9 stone and can handle adult, overweight males, admittedly not by herself, but when the rage takes them, noone could. You'd be given training on restraint + guidance how to talk them down so the situation doesn't arise.

The missing cards have come to light!!! They were in the same 'safe place' where we keep the suitcase padlocks.... we always forget where we put them as well- lol

Assuming the family stay in the States, we probably won't go again until 2012. If we can work it, we will try to co-incide with the Olympics and rent out our house out to help with the cost. Probably wishful thinking, but.......??

Evening everyone.

Maz, we must do the dungeons!! Just make sure there is some eye candy there to give me the kiss of life, if needed lol!!

I'm sure you would be ok with restraining too. My friend's daughter is like DET's problem child and she is ok. Good luck. I hope you are successful.

LG COME OUT FROM UNDER ALL THOSE DIRTY DISHES, POTS & PANS LOL!!

Elizabeth, LG will bring the broomstick and I'll supply the teeth!! You won't recognise LG though, as she does tend to grow hair at certain times of the year! Say no more, nudge, nudge, wink, wink!!

Congratulations Maz. A fresh start for you. Will you still have the usual holidays, or are we going to lose you at the end of October?
Talking of which, is there any chance of setting a date so I can book my tickets early for the best price?
