Hi Denise - read your post in Flyweeks I was just reading - but you weren't in last week on my first week flying - so nice to 'meet' you!
What's a titchy tummy (over here titchy means little - so I'm wishing I had one!)

SarahShattered - I totally agree about trampolines - we bought one years ago and it has been used every single day since. First by all the kids, and now that they aren’t on it so much, the dogs are on it every day! They both have a great time!

Morning all

Tootie - hugs hun - I'll fess up I did no flying yesterday either - apart from put one lot of washing on an airer to dry. We all have days when we do nowt. Ignore what your 'friend' said.
Nikki - hugs to you love. Just take things 1 day at a time. It does eventually get easier.

Well I was supposed to do allsorts last night when I got in and achieved nowt in the end. Best friend phoned and was quite upset. Her son is married to a foreign lady and they have two kids. They've had a few problems. The wife has booked a flight and is taking the kids back to her country. The son is devastated. Does anyone know if he has any rights on this matter?

DD popped in and we had a long chat. She's unsure what she wants to do in life - what career path to take etc. (she's 26 for heaven's sake!). So, after all that chatting the evening had gone.

But, I promise I'll try harder this evening.

Have a good day ladies

I just want to give everyone a :T for doing a great job. no matter how small it is we are all trying (most of the time). Some of have very big obstacles in their way that can make it very difficult for us to maintain a 'normal' life. I take my hat of to those people and admire you all.


Right ok now I have stopped being so gushy I think that I better go and see what I am MEANT to be doing today.

Morning everyone - up a little bit earlier than normal as DH had to be in work earlier. Got the WM on, we've already eaten, and the boys are being good. I dare say i should try and do something but i am feeling a bit sad after watching breakie news as a guy we went to uni with was on there after being killed. not a guy we were close to, but we knew him and sad as him and his fiance met when we did, and i feel sad for the life they won't know IYSWIM. I am too maudling again.

will try to not dwell on stuff - think it is my hormones to be honest

mumofjusttwo

(((hugs))) michelle. Just admire you children and *** the housework for now.

I'd probably go for Management or Economics and Finance. They'll always come in handy. I thought it was Maths you were doing? Did I get that wrong?

Sorry, yes i am doing maths, but they make you choose an extra option for the first 2 years Not sure why?

Thats what happens when the manager buys a load of strikers during the transfer window and !!!!!! all else! Me thinks Walter Smith has lost his marbles. We were ok during the first half and then were terrible in the 2nd. If we dont buy a decent midfielder soon we can wave goodbye to the title too.
