    ((((((HUGS))))) Haribo, hope you are okay xxx
  • Normally I'd talk to Haribo about this sort of stuff but she's had a dreadful experience this week and I don't want to upset her more.

    Thank you all for your support. It means more than you can know.

    Pink xxx


    Don't be daft. :rolleyes: It works both ways you know. ;)

    Can't really go into details about what's happened guys (as there are too many prying internet eyes) but OH and the girlies are fine. I am fine too, physically at least. :o And give me a couple of weeks and I'll be back tormenting you all. ;)

    Pink has been a star on the phone all week.:A :kiss: and Miss Pink will be absolutely fine at Uni. If I did it (and in the same city as well) anybody can. :p You will see more of her than you think, mark my words.

    OS has been completely out the window all week. I have no appetite for food so that's bound to be moneysaving eh? :money:

    Have a nice evening everyone and I for one am very glad it's Friday.

    Haribo xxxxxxxxxx

    ETA..... OH went back to work today and has phoned to tell me he's had a truly awful day there too so it seems that the week ain't over yet. Luckily he'll be home soon and then it will be wine o'clock. :wink:

    Take care of yourself hon. If you can't face eating, maybe you could manage to sip a milky drink? (Apologies if you hate milk):)

    Happy friday everyone :wave:

    I deserve an OS medal today I think

    So far I have:
    been to Mr T's
    have the fruit for my christmas cake soaking
    made beef casserole for dinner
    made leek and potato soup
    make orange and walnut flapjacks
    make a whole orange cake
    done the washing and hung it out
    washing up done and dishwasher loaded
    hoovered.
    Oh and turned all the spare pennies into paper money :D

    Now I am going to treat myself to a flapjack while I read a magazine I treated myself to in Mr T's :D

    Have a great evening everyone :D

    Ergh. I am feeling like money is quite tight at the moment. Keep thinking of things I need to pay for next week which will come to at least £125. Coupled with that I've just broken the car's mirror. Clever...It feels like a lot for me: I have no employment and am waiting until early Octover until I get my student loan.

    Afternoon all,

    *hugs* to Pink and Haribo - hope you both are okay

    A day off for me today! :j Especially good as its a long weekend so no work again until tuesday :D It came at the right time too as I had a cold this week. Feeling better today: only a cough left but still kinda tired so will rest up a bit :)

    Haven't done too much today - out to B&Q and tescos, so got some shopping done. I need to make a couple of birthday cards this weekend so might spend a little time this evening going through the craft box and seeing what I've got there. Had something to eat late this afternoon while we were out so don't need to make tea this evening :o probably just some crackers later if we get hungry. WM is due to go on in a minute (as soon as I've finished my cuppa) :D

    *hugs* to all, take or leave as you please...
