Serena - thanks for the pm especially when you are not feeling well - hope you feel better tomorrow - wish I could knit socks!!

Froddy - big hug - I have had a bad day too and yes it does help to let it out - pigpen is spot on with her advice (as always she manages to write what we want to say) so follow it and you will be fine.

Just had a phonecall from the police (at 8.45pm) - the officer who was meant to come has been unavoidably delayed so they wondered if they could reschedule until tomorrow afternoon instead. I'm impressed! So I said its not a problem. It's mainly for DD's sake I've asked them if they could come around. She's gone to bed now with her baseball bat - I'm not going to fight with her over it, if it makes her feel safer then so be it.

Oh and she's just started book 7 of the Harry Potter series - that's most of book 5 & the whole of book 6 during the holidays on top of the other books she's read from the library :eek:

I've had a horrible afternoon, so sorry everyone but I'm going to have to share the whole story. Went outside when my boyfriend got home and groomed my pony, then went out to the field to check the goats (I live on a farm) and ended up chasing them around for a bit. Well long story short, I got overheated/ dehydrated, collapsed in the field and ended up being taken to the doctors. She checked blood pressure, eyesight, heart and wether I was stressed (not really), said I got heatstroke and to go home and drink plenty of sweet drinks to get my blood sugar back up, and rest. So no flying this afternoon.

I know I'm probably being silly but it was so so scary, guess I've just got to be more careful in future.

Gentle flying for me tomorrow then, hope everyone has a good weekend.

Zed Thanks, I just hope we get to see a Derm-who knows, maybe we can get me sorted too.

Derm -- is dermatologist i.e. skin specialist .. says she who got referred to one at 14 with severe ongoing acne .... just the person to help with your DS's excema I should imagine It surely helped me Although I shall not bore you with the fact that it took 5yrs to get me referred, or the 9mth wait ... no I won't.

Enjoy H&A I haven't seen that in years, used to be addicted to that and Neighbours. OMG ... does DD going to school mean I can get back into such things ... ooooooooohhhhh!!!! But only on a Tues / Wed

Oh a nasty afternoon for you then ... Sounds like a restful day with feet up for you tomorrow .. flyladies orders.

I've done the overheating / dehydration thing, not to be recommended.

Take care and drink lots (and not alcohol!)

Dusty. Re photo. My DD for some reason thinks its her friend who died not long ago. She noticed it after she took the photo. I dont know if anyone has heard of Rainbow children. When GGD was born I said she was one. Only 3 and can talk like a 5 year old. Very bright and inquisitive. Im interested in all sorts like that.

I have just had a yell at the bank.. I got some... PERSON.. in a call centre in Delhi who couldn't understand what I was saying and I couldn't understand him so the ignorant [EMAIL="tw@t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] hung up on me...!! How very dare he?????? If he couldn't understand he should have passed the call to someone else... I was LIVID.. anyway.. I called back.. spoke to a lovely lady (in the same call centre in Delhi but with much much better english) and she gave me the information immediately!!

Anyway.. said bill is now paid AND I have enough money in the account to cover the first payment off the overdraft on Monday.. phew!!!

Hubby sent off to Sainsbugs for cow juice and I am off to sluice my smelly self in the shower and get off to the pubic louse!

Is it inappropriate for a just!! 11 year old girly to defuzz their armpits??
