    Funny... I don't trust her either :T
  • Evening everyone - if you're still around that is - any 'normal' person would be fast asleep by now!! I usually am but have spent hours trying to get the internet to connect( have been trying since 8.00am):wall: :wall: :wall: then hours catching up on the thread! Got on briefly early afternoon and then lost the connection :wall:and didnt get back on until aboyt 9pm:mad: :mad: Now I am so tired I cant remember all I wanted to say. Didnt want to leave it until tomorrow (today!!) as there would have been more to catch up on!!

    Mumoffour - thats terrible news - but I am glad the little 'busturds' have been caught and like SS I would like to do something nasty to their private bits. And ffrom where you stay as well - GRRRRRRRRH - lock them up and throw away the key. What a brave wee DD you have - she must have been so frightened - and the boys too - losing everything like that is dreadful what with everything else you cope with - You are so brave and strong for your family - huge gi-normous hugs to you all ((((((()))))))

    Pigpen huge postives vibes for your sis and loads of hugs too (((((()))))) and huge hugs ((((((())))))) for you as well - you are very brave coping with everything with this on your mind. Look after yourself - your sis needs you, your family need you and we need you.
    Hope the kitten (does he/she have a name yet?) enjoys/survives its first bath:rotfl: :rotfl:
    Johanne - you have had a bad day Have a hug ((((())))) hope tomorrow is better. Dont move anything from flat surfaces and then nobody will know if its dusty or not!!
    Chunky - thats a lovely thing you are doing for your friend - what about a bottle of stardrops????
    Dustykitten - thanks for asking about the hospital - it was ok apart from being an hour behind schedule!! I do have to go infor more treatment for my muscles but it wont be this week - so you will have to put up with me trying to fly this week!!! I will get called in as soon as they have a bed. Usually I go to clinic one day and I am in the next day so fully expected to be posting tonight that I would be gone for a week and you would have peace from me!! Well at least my case is packed!! It will probably be next week I expect!
    Kazmeister That is so not fair - if I remeber right this was going on before you went away? If they can only do what you tell them to do when you write it down then leave a list - I know you shouldnt have to but if it works .....
    Like the others said - have some 'me' time and I am sure DD will soon change her mind. Take care.:A

    Toooooooo tired to do any more so am going to say goodnight all - sorry if I have missed you - will post my list tomorrow.

    hugs to absolutely everybody
    toots xx

    p.s. I only have wooden pegs:sad:
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
