    She's not doing too badly, thank you :A she's just started medication to stop her twitching but I had to battle to get that for her. The doctors receptionist tried saying that she had to wait until an appointment became free and that wasn't until 23rd August :eek::mad: needless to say I got on the phone and had an appointment for her two hours later :cool:

    Good morning.

    I thought a heatwave was due to arrive yesterday ... has it been delayed?

    Heatwave......not here....yet.....if you check the BBC weather app it's always 3 days in the future......ALWAYS:rotfl:

    It never seems to get here:o

    Well the whole day stretches ahead of me like a blank canvas....a bit of gardening, a bit of pottering, do my eyebrows, visit A:)

    Very very true.... unless it is the day you have gone for a long walk dressed in thermals and without sun tan lotion... then the sun pops out, making you boil and burn!

    Why do siblings stir things up for each other?

    DS4 has dropped several hints that DS3 is cycling today , 100 road race here in Suffolk. He's said nothing to me but he knows how I feel about him taking part in this sport :(

    Morning everyone,

    Nothing runs smoothly does it- I have skimmed many pages so very out of touch - but pleased for sarahdol your results are good and hopefully you are on the mend, snap ant - hope the ball goes well and your poor friend, oh dear,- again pleased shes on the mend, but talk about jobsworth, her bosses, more like slave labour!!! and Rose what a situation you are in you have had lots of strong and good advice but from what I see you need to involve a solicitor - on a lighter note I also agree with ssm re caravan and farmers field :) but I hope all turns out ok for you. Im sure there are many that needs hugs and kisses, and congratulations for missed birthdays, anniversaries etc...my smileys don't work so youll have to make do with thoughts and the writing of... (my laptop updated its self to windows 10 a month or so ago and since then it is difficult to post on here and fb and more often than not I cant even read posts as 'script error' keeps appearing and I cant get rid of it...touch wood its ok at the mo hence the post)
    Anyway I arrived back from a lovely 2 weeks away in Majorca last Saturday but just too late for the pizza gu glitch- you cant help some people can you? I emailed my son with the deal, but he didn't partake :( when I go on sunday for my baby sitting duties what do I see in the fridge .....a T finest dessert similar to the gu and a T pizza- I give up- he always makes fun my shopping and deals, but he always buys designer clothes off ebay so hes not dead against saving money I just cant understand it,!!
    ..So I was in my house 15 hours before driving to London, drove back home again Wednesday teatime, midday Thursday started to feel unwell, hot and cold sweats and vomiting Thursday night, then lethargic and sleepy all Friday - fighting fit today :) I have lost 2 days which I couldn't afford to do, with cleaning,washing,ironing and shopping all to do, and we have my 86year old mil coming round teatime and for the evening,so that's a meal to cook and prepare and we usually play cards in the evening, so im going to be a little busy- then back to London again sunday...HELP!!!!!!!!!! x

    Good morning,

    We received the quote for our ground source heat pump....£41,000. OH said we could keep the house warmer by throwing £20 notes on the fire....

    DS1 has left to live in Cambodia (there is something wrong with that lad...he picks places to live that cause me a heart attack, the safest place he has lived was Khoh Lak.. which sadly was bombed the other day).

    DS2 is going back to uni, and he is actually working over the summer... he announced he is buying a new top speck computer with his wages. I told him he is not... as he will be reliant on us to keep him/pay fees etc. he is not buying anything unnecessary He is not happy with me.

    DS3 asked me to go suit shopping with him. He has to go to court for speeding. I may kill him. I've told him he needs to try all of the various suits on in the house, and find the one that fits best. He said he would buy what he wanted.... I reminded him that he has borrowed the money to buy 3 cars, undertake various repairs, pay for insurances, and recently took my credit card on holiday with him for emergency purposes and spend £1100 on it.... and each time he promises to pay back immediately and does not but goes on to spend money on more rubbish...

    I am rather proud on myself....but I think non of them will be speaking to me today!! lol

    On a good noted I am off to Goldsmiths with £1250 from Mr T..... whoop whoop...
