I know hon - just wanted to say thanks for putting in the link - truly gorgeous & almost makes me want one .

Mary - think you might well be right about babies being people at their best :rolleyes: . Humph - I want a baby to cuddle & smell *yearns*

Do hope that trip to your mum's is not too upsetting > :grouphug: just in case.

Thank you lovely people...a wee update if I may Ceridwen (pm me if you would rather I didnt update here!)...been to see Weezl, AM and Fergus this eve to do a skills swap (we felt you would aproove C - like letts but informal!!)..Weezl taught me how to cast on and knit and I showed them my burping techniques which I hope were useful...Fergus is even more gorgeous - filling out nicely and got chubby chops. Weezl still adjusting to less sleep than before and having a baby around (albeit a very cute one!) ...she will post here but knowing weezl suspects she wants to do Ferguses aunty ceridwen justice rather than posting a quick sleep depraived post!

Thats okay - thanks for the update.

Obviously I gotta approve a skills swap. You'll be one up on me there then - with the knitting - I just dont HAVE skills like knitting/dressmaking/etc - I've tried to learn both in the past and been a dismal failure at them. Fortunately I CAN cook - I've taught myself to be a pretty reasonable cook - so at least I get to eat okay. My own mother hints for bread and cakes from me (as she's never made bread and has given up making cakes long ago - <sotto voce - just as well;) > Comes to summat when you're a better cook than your mother...:D .

Reet- ISOM - I'll leave you to go off to your lovefest with Fergus......(ISOM is quite definitely "in luv" methinks).

Must get on with the day now....I'm having a spell where I'm positively having to give myself a hefty series of mental "kicks" to get going of a morning - thank goodness for lists and a hefty dose of willpower - or, right now, I'd be doing darn all.:cool: . I'm being late for a lot of things at the moment - which isnt me at all - because of the amount of prodding of myself I'm having to do to get myself moving. Thinks.....must see if I can find owt useful on motivating oneself.

Lula - thanks. Wel I have to admit it was upsetting walking into the flat with bare furniture and a pile of bric a brac on the floor..............is this what life amounts to I wondered ? The more I wondered the more I dwelled on it and by the time we got to my friends house I was blubbing like there was no tomorrow ! I dreaded going back today for the furniture collection so we waited outside till they arrived. Such cheerful young lads, sort of lifted me up a bit. So, thats that done..............the bric a brac is going for a boot fair to raise funds for activities and that's been shifted now so - flat is empty and maybe I can just sleep at nights. I do hope so..............I go to bed with my head buzzing about what I have to do/arrange - now, until the legal stuffs done theres nothing.
Have to admist its left me feeling very drained and I've developed horrendous cold/rasping cough - OH says my resistance must be low...............not half it is ! Now I need to find something to 'lose' myself in a bit...........I'll think of something

Hi Mary

...you could try some of the music listed over on the last couple of pages on Kittie's thread....that might be a bit of a restorative....

mary43

ceridwen - thanks. I've got quite a few books I could either finish off or start on so a bit of music to go with it sounds good.
Have made appy. with doctor -can't get in till Friday afternoon ! and its not what you'd call an 'emergency'..............just want to know if he can give me something for my cough and also ask him if its normal to feel generally achy all over as a result of stress. I know stress can manifest itself in physical ailments sometimes -least so I've heard - along with the general exaution I'm feeling.

Mary wee pet !! I hope you don't mind me butting in here.. A couple of things for you --
First - the achey tired feeling can be long-term stress just released... maybe your health & energy levels have been dropping for a while and because you've been running on adrenaline you haven't noticed it until now. Get bloods done but also buy some good quality multi vitamins and supplements like malt.
Secondly - remember that your mum isnt gone. She isnt in the cemetary, she isnt in her empty house. She is in your head & by your side. Not gone anywhere pet, still there to talk to and to have a laugh with.
Now start TODAY and look after yourself and get back to form and enjoy your summer !:D

marthada - thankyou so much -that makes an awful lot of sense.........I've been running on a sort of 'kick start' since mum was first ill 4 years ago and more so since we lost her. Poor OH is beside himself worrying for me as well.
I'll get some decent multi vitamins tomorrow and ask foor bloods to be done when I get to doctor on Friday afternoon.
I know Mum is still around, as is my Dad and that is a comfort in many ways.
OH got me some couch medicine and cough lozenges -I've plenty of lemon and honey..................and just him being there will help. Maybe if we both get a good nights sleep things will look so much brighter
