A cold maybe Suzanne? Hope he'll be alright soon:)
Yep, just a cold. Haven't heard such a cute nasally voice for a long time though! He's still happy enough so I can't complain. He's been at pre school for three months or so, so we've had a good run :)

Oh noooooooo! I haven't watched that far yet but can imagine where it is going.

Would love to watch a mini series as long as it lives up to the story. Be interested to know who plays the starring roles.
Mod
Yes pre school will do it! Poor little guy :( Good he's happy enough in himself though :)

Thanks Rita, interesting lineup. I will definately keep an eye out for that. It just says 2015 release but no actual dates yet.
RitaSkeeter wrote: "Nope, it was just the old 'coming soon' on the ad! I wondered whether it might take the Sunday spot when Poldark is finished,"Wow that soon, I'm surprised there hasn't been more fanfare about it...I hope it lives up to its namesake ;)
RitaSkeeter wrote: "That's just a guess on my part. It may not be then of course."No worries I will keep an eye out for it, thanks for the headsup ;)
Is anyone else not getting notified when there are new posts? I've just realised that although I have no notifications, there are several posts in various groups in the last hour or so that I should have been notified about... Or maybe it's just me?The irony, of course, is that if it isn't just me, no one might see this post for a while anyway if there is no notification that there is a new post!!
We've had a bad start to our week. Went out to get a lift with my hubby this morning to discover that some B*****d had thrown acid all over his car. At least our other car was Ok and so were the neighbours as far as we could see. Grrrrr!

I switched this thread to individual email notification to see if that was working, but it isn't either. I think I'll go and post in the GR feedback group - I can't see any comments about it at the moment, which is why I was wondering if it was just me! Thanks, RitaSkeeter!

The side panels aren't affected, just the bonnet, roof and boot so maybe they won't need to do the whole car. It's just the senslessness of causing this sort of damage that annoys me!

So I have just seen that Kate Morton is coming out with a new book in October - I am very excited, I love her books.
Mod
I haven't got any for hours Kathryn - this whole thread has 13 new and I haven't received notification for any of them. I'm going to go to the feedback group shortly:)
Mod
Oh dear Carolyn! That is shocking...you poor thing. Did you call the police?
Just wanted to say hope your having a fabulous day whatever you are doing

I'd say it's site wide Michael:(
I'm just back from a plasma donation and feeling a mite tired. Dinner is in the fridge ready to be reheated (sweetcorn chowder) and I think I've earned a quiet couple of hours with my feet up!

Good for you Kathryn:) You're a gem! Relax and enjoy your couple of hours reading:)

What's not to like about it?!
I haven't had any email notifications since 8am!! I thought everybody was just out :( I just got to here by the circuitous route on the off chance of finding posts and what do you know! I wonder what's going on? Sorry if I've missed anything.

I assumed it was just random but odd it was just our car, especially since the acid looks like it was thrown on in three goes. The car was parked across the road from our house as the people over there park at the back of their house. We hadn't planned on reporting it to the police but we probably should let the folks across the road know.

Pssst, you didn't pinch their parking spot did you? ;) not funny, I hope you can get it fixed up no problem.

I am a blood donor but stopped for some time to give blood. I need to do start doing it again.
Kathryn wrote: "I'm just back from a plasma donation and feeling a mite tired.

I used to be good with that but got into a pregnancy and breastfeeding cycle and couldn't continue.. You've given me a reminder now though! I've got a rare blood type so I just get onto it.

I assume it will work the same in every country so I would definitely report it ASAP

As Matthew said you have to before you can claim on the insurance even though there's nothing the police can do. They don't think it's random as the culprit made sure to do max damage with several lots of acid. Apparently hubby had an altercation last week with a hoon in a hotted up Ford speeding doing about 90 down our suburban street full of kids playing so could be related. At least it was just the car that was damaged.
