OK.... you can keep chatting away, Tami.

Beat me too it Heidi!
Back to ffuts.

Thanks for taking the TOPP. So far I have successfully managed to avoid getting them.

I think I scared all my friends away.

Still around Tami, procrastinating and doing everything apart from what I should be doing.

I'm impressed, Tami. I didn't think you'd make it this long without TOPPing.

I need to fling food, now.

I didn't see your light on but it is on now. I have been doing work on the pooter all evening. I have been checking up on my students. One of my classes is all computer based. All I do is monitor. I never seem to have enough time to run all my reports.

Heidi, I am paying very close attention to the numbers. I have taken chances on the bottom of page.

That was my Waterloo.

Apple Bourbon pork chops, spinach souffle' and applesauce. Yummers.

I finally have found time to get back here. Amazingly, I am almost caught up reading comments. I hope everyone is having/has had a wonderful day!

Thank you Tami and Heidi for my gold star! Tami, I had to "show my work" to get it correct. If i just started multiplying, I would forget something.

Heidi and Broni, I thought the same thing, Lucky soon will not fit under the gates

Julie, love your Easter Egg

Tami, you are really pushing your luck, all the BOPPs someone is going to sneak a post in there on ya and push you over the top hehehe

Wow, it's a quiet night - nearly 2 hours between posts.

(That 2 hour span was between Heidi and my post. Now Miz T has picked up the pace.)

Thank you, Tami, for awarding the gold star and Heidi, for providing it. I'm amazed (and lucky).

Good maeN sudokuland! time for beddy bye here on a cool night. my polar fleece blanket will feel very good tonight!

HI JULIE, good to see you, I am just now seeing your posts.

Yes, I noticed that 2 hour gap there also. You know, we are just helping out nature here, cause nature hates a void.

Good Night, MizT, and sleep well! Good Night to Heidi, also, as I suspect she will be feeding the dogs soon. I'm dragging and nearly need to prop my eyelids open, so I think I will call it a day. Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Dogs are done eating, and I AM going to bed.
everybody.

I really wish Gath would approve those avatars. We're approaching 2 weeks since they were submitted!

Well another 2 hours almost between posts, finally got the ffuts I wanted to do today done, now sitting back with a drink rewarding myself.
Heidi, you never did answer my question about training Lucky.
Julie, MizT sorry I missed you but my floors look spotless until the Basset has her way.

It has been quite a day.
Started with the door bell at 1.30am and two policemen at the door. They needed to talk to June and Ken D urgently. You can imagine my heart went to my boots. They had apprehended a stolen car with a backpack with my purse and also Ken's wallet. Some one had entered our house while we had been watching TV. I breather a sigh of relief. The money, which was not an excessive amount was gone but all our cards where still there.
It was our own fault as with our silly cat that is still not eating properly and kept wanting to come in and go out we had left the door ajar and not put the chain on as Ken still had to put our the garbage. The police still have our things as evidence till they are fingerprinted (not sure why they were not done today) so we have no drivers licence, credit cards, etc. Hopefully we will get them back tomorrow.
Because I have been to the show the day before the purse was in the back pack and I had taken most of the money out as shows are not places to carry money.(I am having some extra cupboards built for the laundry and the chap likes cash or cheque and as I do not have a cheque book I had taken out extra last week to pay him when the cupboards are finished. I still have that money!)
I later remembered my camera is in the back pack so waiting to get it back to see if it is still there.

Then this morning I get a call from Sharon who had a headache and was very dizzy so I dropped everything to take Laura swimming and give Sharon a chance to have a sleep. Sharon was a bit better tonight but I guess her resistance will be low for some time. No teaching tomorrow! and Laura will be in daycare.
I did not get much sleep last night so feel rather tired myself.

Oh June, are you and Ken OK?

Think you deserve an early dinner and drink to help you sleep. There are mongrels out there everywhere, at least you are both safe.

Happy to hear Sharon feels a bit better, send her our love June.

June! What an awful experience! To think they were in your home with you.... I felt a shiver when I read your post.

The alternative reasons for a visit from the police don't even bear thinking about. I had one of those once.

Sending hugs and hope Sharon feels better after a day of rest.

Still thinking about it....

I'm on a ffuts break. I think I'm spending too much time doing corners that noone will ever look at and not enough time on the things they will. I'll never get it all done before Friday!

I've also tutored 2 girls today and driven hubby home from putting the work car in at the smash repairers. He scratched his boss's car!! Luckily his boss isn't back at work for another couple of weeks....

The big problem is that we were taking our time getting our second car registered as we had the work car - what's the rush - can't fit us in until Friday, no problem, we don't need the car... only now we do! Going to be a juggle getting the girls to the dentist tomorrow...

June, what a rotten thing to happen, hope your camera is still in the bag.
Suzy, we are doing a similar thing with cars at the moment. Our 'Posh' car (Lexus) needs a small repair and needs testing so we can have it on the road, but that small repair will cost quite a bit of maoney. As we don't really need the car as Richard is working in London and travelling by train, we are putting getting the Lexus repaired.
The other day I thought we had a problem with the Volvo which would have left us without both our cars. Fortunately we have the kids car to fall back on if necessary.
Thinking about it we have far too many cars on the drive at present. Lexus, Jaguar, Volvo, Renault and Cougar. Only the last three are working.

Cyn, hope Col's xrays prove that he has just bruises. Fingers crossed that the new quotes are acceptable and you (Col) gets the jobs.

Evening SA8.
Pouring rain here, as it has been on and off all day.
Yes CynB, hope Col has not broken anything.
Good luck with the quotes.
Oh June, what an awful thing to happen.
Hope you and Ken are okay, and that Sharon is feeling better.
Hoping Gath gets to our avatars and smileys soon.

Well I should be packing up my Avon orders.
They are sitting here staring at me.
Get to it V V.

I did have one good thing happen today. I found a place to get my two aluminium chairs sand blasted and powder coated. A bit expensive but will be a professional job and save me a lot of hard work and heart ache. The set is over 40 years old and was a Christmas present from my Grandmother to my mother so worth having them done properly. I will get the table done at a later date when the paint I put on yesterday starts to look a bit ragged.

June, so glad you can find the rainbow.
VV get it done then you have the rest of the night to yourself.
Brenda and Zusy hope your car problems are small, eek just thought if mine breaks down now I have nothing.

Good evening all. Nice to talk to you again on Skype, Brenda.
As I told Brenda, Col's Xray results - no fractures. So, even though he's still sore we know we're only dealing with something muscular. He altered his schedule and is not working until Wednesday so hopefully may be less sore by then - he will have to be super careful not to make matters worse though (as I keep on telling him).

Oh June - I too got the shivers at the thought of someone being in your house, especially while you were both there. But you were lucky that the police caught them before they tried to use your cards. Hope you get your camera back.
Happened to my parents not long before we had to put Dad in care. We were always so pleased that neither of them saw or challenged the thieves (as I know they would have if they'd seen them) or the consequences could have been dire.
Also, June, I hope Sharon is feeling better now too.

June, great news about the coating.

Cyn, I'm glad your parents didn't challenge the thieves either. Glad to hear there are no broken bones, and very sensible of Colin to change his schedule to give himself a chance to heal.

Our car problems are small, only about $130 worth 'cause Don did some of the work himself.

Can you tell I've given up on ffuts for the night?

When I say small, the wheel could have fallen off the car, but it wasn't expensive to fix!
