    Glad MSE is back working, I tried to join the yahoo site but it wouldnt let me had obviously previously signed up but no idea of the password, so instead i have been working through my list.

    have manage today -
    take DD2 to party (my turn for the run 4 6 year olds in the car who were all very well behaved )
    bought new iron and then spent 2 hours ironing and I've still not finished
    hoovered through main trafffic areas
    s&s living room
    s&s kitchen
    wiped grout off moreof the tiles in the bedroom
    and swore a lot at the kitchen sink again it has one of those thingys which you press a button underneath and it blitzs any gunk (sorry cant remember what they are called) anyway its stopped working so the sink is not draining away and is stinking OH reckons he can take it out tomorrow and replace it with normal piping we shall wait and see, this house is definetly turning into the money pit and we are seriously running out of the money.

    Away now to put the ironing away and then will have a glass of something strong...

    My DD still doesn't have underarm hair - at 16! Most of her friends are so green with envy! She developed fairly late, and took a lot of stick from the boys in her class. But she is now 32DD and has her revenge...

    I have really missed the forum today, yahoo is okay, but it isn't home! Probabaly just as well that we weren't here as I was in a foul mood. I've eaten quite a lot of Thornton's champagne truffles (one thing OH does get right) and I feel quite cheerful, but faintly sick!

    No housework done, weekly shopping, and hour and a half on the allotment, and quite a lot of sock knitted.

    Tomorrow I want to do some odd bits of washing, and tackle a bit of the sofa mountain....and the planning I was supposed to do six weeks ago....

    My youngest sis was later than most to develop.. not helped by her being the youngest in the school year as well but she is a 30G (and a bit) now.. she daren't admit the other bit to herself.. lol.. And our other sis hasn't any lol.. we got her share!

    No.. they just nagged me to buy them extra unecessary stuff while we were shopping.. things like.. boob holders when they already have plenty!! I have 3 and she has to have 103!! Eeyore pens!! A Disney store reusable bag.. Bright pink nail polish.. which I hasten to add she WAS supposed to be giving the money for... *HINT* (she is reading over my shoulder just in case you all think I've lost the plot!!)

    Erm... Boots meal deal.. I could have just bought one but because they were there I had to buy 3!!

    The bunny ears and cat ears WERE necessary!! And the hat for tiddles is REALLY cute!

    I would argue that Eeyore pens ARE necessary :) Went to woolies for bubble wrap today (ready for packing all my stuff this week) and ended up coming home with yet another Tigger mug. Is 4 too many for one person? Oh dear...

    I'm going to go through my list and cross everything off now... Seeing friends for the day tomorrow so having a day off from Flying. Let's go see what I've done this week! Hope everyone is well!

    Hi, just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone for your posts :T

    I had a horrid morning with a constant sinking feeling in my stomach and couldn't eat or be bothered to do anything but then made myself get dressed this afternoon and went to meet a friend just for a couple of hours. It was a struggle to stop myself from crying on the way there but I have been better since I got back and have eaten some dinner and looked at some school stuff!! Not actually got as far as planning yet, but it's a start and definite progress from yesterday.

    And I AM going to get up and ready for church tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to get stuff done after that.

    Thanks again everyone - :A
