  • This is the first time I have ever posted anywhere! Let me tell you all a little bit about myself - i am married and have 2 DS and i DGD. There are two new bubbas on they way and I am about tofind myself a nana to 3! How did that happen! One of the bumps is a pink one, sister to DGD. Just as well she is a girl cos DGD informed me 'if it is a boy nana I am going to put him in the bin!' She's not keen on boys YET. She is 3!

    Welcome JackieLesley!

    Tooti -
    friends come in some very unusual shapes sometimes!!

    Flying - once again ZERO

    Hours spent with accountant - SIX!! Does that qualify for a moneysaving doggie biscuit????

    AND the other good news - a full months wages from NHS (so what was all that carp about last week!!) Of course, it will go straight to overdraft that I had to take out to pay bills but still I feel like I have some money!!

    There you go Tootti that's Me, Dusty and RMC on the zero to very little flying list today. Told you we all have off days. Funny how they always seem to happen Tuesday to Thursday.;)

    Thanks for the hugs Dusty. I was so looking forward to the holidays. No more rushing around and clock watching for a few weeks. But the last 2 weeks have all gone pear shaped and I'm more stressed now than I was before.
  • I have been lurking here for about a year now and following the lists after my own fashion and achieving more than I ever did before.

    Thank you for the stardrops tips! This one tip has saved me a fortune in cleaners and it does such a brilliant job. Even does the shower door which no other cleaner can do!

    Soapie, I really hope your son gets things sorted with his wife.

    Hi Jackie, thanks, but fortunately it's not MY son, it's my best friend's son

    Soappie - I don't have much experience of this type of family breakdown but I do know for sure that your friend's son NEEDS to a solicitor ASAP. Very very difficult when she has left the jurisdiction to organize joint custody etc. He has parental responsibility and therefore has some rights - and needs to get court to recognise that to stop her leaving the country.

    Hello JackieLesley and welcome!

    Well, I think I have Marjorie Proops stamped on my forehead this week in indelible ink. Another evening when I've done nothing but listen to other peoples dilemmas and offer advice.

    No flying done and I'm pooped. Though saying that, I have done two loads of washing and cooked DS an early tea and looked up legal stuff on t'net for someone so it's not as though I've been schlepping about.

    But, must go find myself some dinner now.

    Hopefully tomorrow I'll find my wings again
