Apart from choosing a new name, I've been slathering Germolene on insect bites - how lovely is that? My new name doesn't make one think of Germolene and insect bites! It's the time of year for these and I'm covered in large itchy bumps...grin

Last tribunal before my holiday tomorrow! Then I've got to pack.
Early start tomorrow.
Goodnight

Crescent moon!

I'm off to Greatnan's in France before the crack of dawn tomorrow. So, jeni and maniac, enjoy your cruise and don't do anything the rest of us wouldn't do. x x x

jeni Mon 03-Sept-12 21:40:34

Same to you!grin do keep an eye on greatnan. Don't let her try abseiling off any alps!

annodomini Mon 03-Sept-12 21:56:01

jeni, wink

annodomini Mon 03-Sept-12 22:01:39

Now I am going to log off and finish my packing - taxi coming at 05.45!
Goodnight - back next week.

Have a great time anno and greatnan. Let us know how your holiday is going, won't you? smile

Everyone seems to be on the move - have a wonderful time all of you. I'm off to our daughter's tomorrow to return her dog who's been on holiday with us while she and family have been in France. (hey Annodomini do you sail? Greatnan needs an accomplice to go flotilla sailing in Greece!)

Greatnan Mon 03-Sept-12 22:19:20

Have a great time, jeni and Maniac.
See you tomorrow, Anno. Bring your camera.

Spent another hour trying to log on to the HMRC website to complete my self assessment! Eventually spoke to a really helpful young man , from NE of England, who took me step by step through the process so he could see exactly my dilemma.... I was not such an idiot after all... phew! Now have to wait for another password to be sent by post because I apparently registered on the site in 2003 when I had a different email address. I cannot change my email without the password but I can't get the password because they have the outdated email
address hmm Do they want my tax or not!!grin

We are off to Spain on Friday. Had to laugh when my autistic grandson asked, "Are you going uphill or downhill on holiday?". I knew exactly what he meant, I always think of it as downhill on the map too.

Ella46 Tue 04-Sept-12 11:16:57

Happy holidays to all! sunshine

Wishing my little grandson had been here, as planned, for my last time with him before he goes to "big school", but at the last minute I had a phone call, to say that his nanny wanted him today. I shouldn`t be mean and begrudge her spending time with him, but when my DIL was pregnant, her mum wasn`t at all pleased, and tried to persuade her to have an abortion.

NfkDumpling Tue 04-Sept-12 21:19:51

numberplease you have my sympathies, and no you're not mean and yes you should begrudge her!

jeni Tue 04-Sept-12 21:31:20

Just rejoice in the time you can have. That's what I dosmile

Gally Tue 04-Sept-12 21:43:06

Absolutely Jeni couldn't agree more. I have one more week left here in Oz and am making the most of it - I probably won't see the 4 gc's or DD2 until next year - everything is relative sad
