Afternoon peeps,
Silver Charming - fantastic to hear that Dave is on the mend:j both of you have been creeping into my head on and off all day.
I`m home now and am very tired indeed, i shall need to sort quite a lot out as we have visitors tomorrow and the house has never been so bad - it`s like a bloomin tip. I can never work out how it gets like this so quickly and it`s really annoying. When i eventually get some time to myself i will start decluttering but the lack of storage space is just amazing. There was lots of storage in the last house and i really miss it :-(
I shall try to have an hours nap so that i have some energy for later.
Catch up with you all soon.

Hi everyone,
I have not been around for a few months as life was very difficult with my sons marriage breaking up after such a short time and him being in a very bad place. I had so much support from all of you and you all told me that life would get better again and I also received several PM's which really helped.
Well the good news is that life is getting better again and DS2 is in a much better place. He says he cant understand women but there again my OH says he cant and we have been married for 34 years. He just has the house to sell and then he can have a new start.
Once again thank you for all your support.
Hugs to everyone that need them.
Have a great day tomorrow Mioliere and I wouldn't expect anything less then a few tears but as someone suggested have a few glasses of wine and enjoy the day xx0 -
:hello: Hi everyone,it has been quite nice here today,but has started to rain now.My brother and OH came with my little niece this morning.We got the crafty stuff out which she loves and she did some gorgeous pictures.She stars school this time and I'll miss spending so much time with her.Then we drove to a park that has just been refurbed and is great now.She had a whale of a time.I left them in the car park getting ready to go home and I picked up a few things from the shops and caught the bus back.
Just got time to sort out the tea before the troops arrive home.
(((HUGS))) to all in need.

Mioliere,have a wonderful day tomorrow.

hi there folks
Jus thought I would pop in as we are just back from the park where we went to feed the ducks and the fish. While we were there DH saw a moorhen with fishing line wrapped around its legs so after a bit of scuttling under the sides he pulled it out and we eventually got the lide cut off as much as we could,, and let her go and she was so far away from her nest she literally skimmed over the water she was so fast,
then we found more line stuck in the water and hanging of a tree so he pulled it anf after a while a branch came up out of the water but still we couldnt get it out of the tree ,, some people stopped to look as they do and asking what we were doing ,, eventually we got most of it but it was very strong line with a big hook on the end as if they were trying to catch the carp
we then had a cuppa that we took ourselves but all there was to have with it was a custard tart so I had to have one,,
Well I'm off now
see you

Hi Everyone
Life is mega busy at the moment and I'm hardly getting a minute. ((Hugs)) to all.
DD has regressed by 6 months and were back to massive tantrums its so wearing but at least she was a good girl for her grandad (my dad) yesterday which I was worrying about as he has no tolerence for bad behaviour. We have also had wet beds 3 nights on the run so I'm exhausted with bed changing in the night, thank god for tumble driers that all I can say.
OS wise I have been pottering along fitting it in with sorting out the garden. Just wish the summer would stay for a full day. DH is out tonight so I'm having pizza with dd then hopefully we can have a early night.Sorting my life out one day at a time0 -
Evening all
I'm home after two weeks which ranged from wonderful to dire and the whole spectrum in between. Anyway, OH and I have talked a lot (and can he TALK!!) and we're keeping trying for now, and trying to get something in place to make things easier.
Missing him madly already but glad to be home in a way as I've had about as much rollercoaster as I can take for a bit.
And how have you all been? Need to catch up on some reading!!! The connection I had while I was away was DIRE!
Anyway - going to get some shut-eye - only 7 hours sleep altogether in last three days!
Night night,
PO xx
