Evening Kids

Have given him a cuddle from his uncle Ian! lol Michelle poor Duke will be relieved to have some normality back in his life; Jack Russells dont seem to come with Normality attattched to them!!

Evening Strive! It will blow over they do this every year

Hello peeps Hope Kris won't mind me slinking in. have really enjoyed everyone's company of late and losing OT is horrible.
Hope everyone is ok . Good luck with the job interview Sausages, really hope you get it.
Michelle, I think version 1 of swine flu is probably preferable to the mutation that is bound to follow in due course, so your actions to visit your neice I think is a well informed and justified act of humanity.

I'm sure Kris wouldn't mind at all Newby.

How are you?

Evening Newby! How are you? Have you finished all the exams and assessments now?

yeh, newby! welcome!!!!! Ahh, now, we have swine flu at work and i have been checking my LCD thermometer every so often. I have however found that it gives a different reading depending on where i position it on said head....advice welcome guys!

Ice, we actually had pip fairly well under the thumb by the time she left. She was such a good girl for 11months old i have to say and was so fast to learn. She was a pleasure to have here if only the circumstances had been different.
As for 2pass...i forgot youd been there a long while too - one of us old timers but under a different name

evening all

ice i agree 2pass is shit now and dakta.........well.......i wont lower myself to his level

oh newby,nice to see you here too,its all the good people here

Do I count as an old timer?

It's been almost 1.5 years since I joined!

no-one fancy joining us in chat?

no Ian, youre still a newby to us im afraid. The old timers are the likes of ninja, giggles, bailey, mystery (beleive it or not) even choccy is an old timer

Hiya Ian and Ice, I'm good thank you. All assignments are not finished yet I'm afraid, but next deadline is beginning of October, so I'm easing off a bit, only going into college once a week at the moment and spending the rest of the time clocking up all the work placement hours I need to get in.

Haha Michelle, stick the thermometer in your cup of tea, then casually ask who ever you are sat next to if a temperature of 42 degrees is ok? That should get you some quarantine for a while.

hehe, i like the way youre thinking!

I am amazed swine flu hasn't arrived at the house yet, we have come surprisingly close of late, as is the case with most people now I think. It's in my daughters school so knowing the way kids huddle, it should arrive any day now. I predict week beginning 10 August as that is the week I am trying to take a break.

you should be so lucky Newby, you should KNOW that by now. Still sooner get it over and done with hey - no time will be conviniant so why not now

True Michelle, I'm sure it will get me eventually and I for one would rather have version 1 than version 2.

I thought of you and little Pip today as I was at work and the tiniest little jack russell came in for her first vaccination. Was so dinky

Was just wondering if I should belong to a group?? Seems I am eligible for a couple, what do you think?

Crazy mothers most definitely.

Thank you! Sometimes a second opinion is required.

ditto - please do feel free to join strive and myself - youre more than welcome

Yeh, pip was such a cutey when she was a pup - i dont mean shes not now of course but ohh how they grow up

im just worried that my kids will come down with it in time for our holiday next month

i am also very worried due to marcs health,leonie has a heart murmur and ellie is under 5 all of which are high risk groups

i can certainly understand your concerns Vicky. Im only glad to say that hubby and i arent in a high risk group (that we know of) His mum is as are other people i know but us, we arent.

Bless you all hun,

im keeping a very close eye on them,so much as a sneeze and i will be getting that tamiflu for them

Evening Vicky, I can fully understand why you are worried. Kris and Charlotte are both in a high risk group and my folks certainly can't afford to get it, so tbh, whilst I am not worried for myself and think I'd rather have it now than later, I really don't want the others to get it.

Was thinking about the crazy mother group, but do like the green ( and being a bit planty, green being my favourite colour and me being a junior veg ( as Kris will endorse ) I was wondering about that one . A tenuous link I know, but half blood Irish, is that enough to qualify do you think?

It could be Newby.

If you want added to that group Peter should be able to do it for you as he is down as the group mod.

if you feel you qualify then thats good enough for us Newby

I didnt realise Charlotte would be in the high risk group! I thought so bout parents but not her....hope you manage to keep it at bay too then. I mean to say - surely not EVERYONE will get it - not everyones had normal flu have then
