Serious ish I guess. Multiple Sclerosis...I'm in a wheelchair and stuff. But you just get on with it (esp when you have kids) and I try not to moan a lot lol!! My 89 yr old granny is healthier than me, but she does enough moaning for both of us lol!!

Vickygriff and junior_j - the two of you have just bought tears to my eyes - Vicky cos you are so matter of fact about what happens (wish I was more like you, I hide and pretend to others it's not happening) and junior cos you're young (less than half my age!) but so, so lovely

Got my ink today from Tesco so going to ask the OH nicely tonight to sort the printer out for me so I can print off the PENCIL memo. I can then use my new laminator that I got for my birthday last week from the OH - I was soooo excited to get a laminator as I've wanted one for ages, my friends think I am loopy to go mad over a piece of office equipment

I have my moments! And not much patience with my Granny!! I just think life's too short - a cliche but true. We just have to get on with a new kind of "normal"!

Morning all, Fantastic hampers, Rainmac yours is so lovely ... you know my address :rotfl:

Well just wanted to say hope everyone has a fun filled weekend, I am back in court tomorrow with my ex partner (most of you already know the situation) Hid demands to call every wednesday which I agreed to so far have gone ignored as he hasn't bothered to call or try to get in touch for 8 weeks now, Meaning the last time he heard/spoke to his son was for the 3 hour visit at the beginning of september. Court should be a good one tomorrow, well if my solicitor ever bothers to return my phone calls (can see me finding a new solicitor aswell!!!) I also finally have a good enough figure to show how much (do I mean how little) maintenance he has paid .... I now have over £900 in arrears of child support payments which I am sure will look so good on him when I mention it to the judge

Anyway have fun all and hopefully I will be back on next week!

Rusty xx

Hope it goes ok Rusty, you deserve a good outcome! Will be thinking of you.

Just wanted to echo what rainmac said..............I have epilepsy (I won't mention old age as well..............lol) but the best way to deal with things is to get on with life I've found.
God bless:A

Meant to wrap grandaughters hamper today -fab cellophane that OH got from the florist - but ended up wrapping up my mates bits and pieces - she has a red pillowcase every year and returns it to be re-filled..............lol Took me ages...............lol
Spare room is still in chaos and I'm bit by bit moving the mess downstairs to computer room as soon as somethings wrapped - still seems to be loads of stuff upstairs..........think I'll have some spare for next year.............lol

junior_j

Managed to wrap just ONE present today lol! Darn it , i will sort it out at one point lol!

Hope u all have a fantastic weekend!

I had to read this post out loud to my OH who gave me a laminator for my birthday a fortnight ago lol!! I am going to test it out tomorrow as I'm doing a walking hamper for my mum and want to laminate some walks for her
