Mrs Potts Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I like watching the stars but I watched the International Space Station orbit/pass the other night. It appeared when they said it would and took about four minutes to cross the sky. Magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Just back from a work CPD weekend in the Cairngorms. What a fab time, no pupils so plenty of booze, laughing, singing and late nights! We did do some hillwalking to make it seem like we were doing something legitimate! Here's the view from the top. *click* (link to the full size, easier to see photo) Edited February 24, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhotchick Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I've bitten my tongue, actually, not metaphorically. It is sore. I'm so tired I don't think I have the energy to shower, might have to just go to bed and get up early tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Reading YS's homework on cures for the Black Death - one caught my eye. Shaving a chickens bum and strapping it to your lymph glands till you or the chicken died Yuck. Glad that ones not included on the NHS. There was a picture of a Sussex - looked just like my Edwina.

Chucky Mama Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hopping mad as DD is missing at least £10 of her very hard earned cash after a 'friend' went into her bag to pay for a takeaway last night while she was asleep. 'Friend' says she doesn't have any of her money and that she put the correct change back. I am so cross, she has 2 jobs worked really hard for it. I am going to give her the money but will be having a chat with her about this 'friend' who is a renowned teller of tall tails and sponger.

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Gosh CM, who needs enemies with friends like that? Maybe your DD needs to reevaluate her 'friendship'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 She has only just allowed her back into her close circle as she has disappointed her in the past. We have had a chat and I asked her what she adds to the friendship versus what she takes. DD is no fool but will always give someone a second chance if they try. This girl did try but it was only because she wanted the benefits of the friendship - lifts, emotional support, social events, company, friendship group etc. I have given the missing amount of money to DD as she was worked darned hard for it. It annoys me particularly as this girl gets £90 a month allowance. My DD works 2 jobs for her money and gets about £25 from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It amounts to theft in my book CM. Sorry for your DD's disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Sorry to hear about her friend CM! I went to Crufts with Uni on Friday and had a really good time, the agility and relay agility were really good! Then spent 2 nights Lambing so pretty tired, was up til 4am finishing my presentation which I did this afternoon and think it went quite well. Was up early to go and drop off some Red Mite traps to a local FR farm, then went to Labs to do dissertation work and my Supervisor wasn't there Back tomorrow morning Went to the Uni farm to pick up some new wellies + waterproofs strom Stores... Got an email at 4 asking if I could start Lambing tonight, so am working 7pm-7am Yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 No she went over the weekend. Had to interview a few different breed owners and interrogate feed companies and supplement stands, as part of our Nutrition module The Uni farm isn't too bad 'cos its modern and we have somewhere warn we can sit and do work with WiFi, its just we've gone from 10-6 last year to 7-7 this year! Still, I should feel lucky that I have a paying job at the moment and even better that it's working with animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Was woken at 4.45am by OH telling me to call an ambulance because there was a man lying unconscious on the pavement outside our house wasn't impressed by The call centre which is God knows where not answering for ages at that time in the morning saying they were experiencing unusually high call volumes. But to be fair a first response paramedic was with my husband just after he had gone outside whilst still on the phone to ambulance controller and had tried to get a response from the young guy on the pavement. He was no more than early twenties tidily dressed in new looking but thin clothing. It took the paramedic a few minutes to get any response from him, we all heaved a sigh of relief when he stirred, it was very cold and frosty at that point. The ambulance then arrived and he managed to walk unsteadily too it, he wasn't making any sense though, We couldn't smell alcohol on him. We were then thanked by the paramedic and went back indoors while they treated him for a while in the ambulance then took him to hospital. I hope he is ok. When you are a parent of similar age children it makes you thank your lucky stars that they are safe in bed but we do have to just cross our fingers with ED at uni and hope that there are people looking out for her if she finds herself in a vulnerable state.
