Natchica: On my FB I have a girl called Laura she has just done a tandem skydive for H4H, she has some amazing pics on her FB and had a great timw wants to do it all again so if you havent got her on yours I could ask her if she can have a word with you if that would help???..London Marathon I have know people who have ran but it is a gruelling day, why not just settle for Race for Life less hassle..LOL...I am with you in sprit all the way..We have poor Milly Battling on FB.So glad you had a good family meet up and you must be so excited about Mum coming over..she stopping after the halt term to be with you or not?..So Hubby is still upright and not drooping I as so pleased LOL (his plants)hope you get your results soon and all is well. So I take it you were up waiting for David Tut Tut was in sober when he came in?. I had the little one for a few hours took her to Church they oldies love to see her, and she came back for lunch, now she has gone home PEACE...Having my hair cut (trimmed)and coloured tomorrow.

Sapphire: Re THAT LAD I see he has a not polite FB page dedicated to him so I joined that. GRR thank God he isnt mine that's all I can say. What on earth is the Camel Trail, I think any one that rides a bike with the traffic and the state of the public roads out there is very brave..

Nat - I should have come on line and chatted to you in the early hours. We had sone friends stay over and were up until about 3.30 this morning and up again just after 8. We were going to have a Wii night but ended up chat, food, drink, chat, more food, more drink, more chat and so on. We were on the Wii this morning until they left. Just chilling out now and watching last night's X Factor on Sky + Really not sure about those twins...... I like most of the others but find Stacey so funny. She should be in a sit com. I hope you get to do your sky dive. It was something I wanted to do when I was younger but not now LOL I have flown a plane twice though. Rob bought me a flying lesson for my 40th and then someone I knew from work had a light aircraft and he took me up in his plane and let me take over. It was great.. Anyway when you do it make sure you get me down as a sponsor. Keep at them for your results.

Cindy - I do hope they can get to the root of Jenny's problems sooner than later. Joe seems to be enjoying himself. He had to give a 5 min brief in front of the captain and about 60 others yesterday. He said he thought it went well and he got some good feedback and seemed buzzing. Obviously, I can't say when he gets back but let's just say he will be here for Christmas. It will be like a bombs hit the place when he gets back. We will be there when they arrive. Will probably be a bit cold while waiting.

Sapphire - I agree with you about that lad. Send him out to the Frontline. I don't know where this country is going but I don't like it. There are some decent youngsters out there but people like him are giving them all a bad name. You have heard right about the weather where they are. I bet it will seem quite mild here when they come home. How's Jay? Are they doiing sea trials yet?

Ricardo - How are you and family and of course dog? Have you had a fairly relaxing weekend? They go so fast don't they? I have Friday off as holiday this Friday. Having a girlie day with my Natalie. We are starting off at the hairdressers and going on to Meadowhall Shopping Centre in Sheffield. I'm not a fan of shopping, but you have to make some sacrifices for your kids. LOL

Sheila - What have you been up to lately? A bit cold at night for caravans now, I should think.

Hope everyone else is well and happy.

Scatty Have put the caravan to bed now till next spring you are really warm inside when you have the heaters on but when you open the door all the heat escapes plus I always worry if it gets windy not much fun towing then. Glad Joe will be home for Christmas sounds as though you had a good night

Nat Good on you I think you are very brave but mad lol I hate flying so its not something I could do

Sapphire You do tend to get addicted to these games Am still waiting to
hear about Jamie we will get 48 hours notice then hubby will have to see if he can get time of work then we will decide if we can get up to Faslane

Cindy I used to have a hairdresser who came and did my hair at home but she has stopped doing it now, so I have got to find another hairdresser

Take it easy y'all

Sheila - I am so sorry I missed your birthday. I hope you had a good one.

I do hope that everyone is starting to feel better who have been ill. There seems to be a lot of people ill everywhere at the moment.

Cindy - Are you any better?

Nat - Are you having a good time with your mum?

Ricardo - You are very quiet these days. Hope you are OK.

Thanks for your birthday wishes just got back from Helensburgh Had phone call from navy Thursday morning to say Jamie's sub was arriving back on Saturday[my birthday] so it was all systems go and we set off Friday. It was great to see him, we stayed for 3 nights in a navy house, He has gone for 2 nights to his girlfriends then he is coming home until Monday then he has to go back for a special ceremony to get his dolphins.

Cindy hope you feel better soon

Scatty,Ricardo Sapphire hope you are all well

Natt hope you had a good time in Brighton x x x

Sheila - How great was that they came back on your birthday. Will you be at the ceremony next week or is it not open to families?

I thought of you today. I had a day's holiday and Rob and I went to Lincoln. We had a lovely day Christmas shopping and having lunch. Then to top it off we watched the Red Arrows practising on the way back. Whenever we go to Lincoln on a weekday we normally see them practising as we have to go past RAF Scampton where they are based.

I had a day off on Friday too. I had a day out with Natalie. We started out at the hairdressers and then went on to Meadowhall, which is a big shopping centre just outside of Sheffield.

Back to work tomorrow. :-(

Talk about from one extreme to another, Scatty you're getting more time off lately than an MP.

Sheila, what did Jamie think of his first patrol, it's quite a busy one when you're working for your dolphins - tell him well done from me.

Where's young Cidny and Nat, very quiet, Sapph too
