    Dusty - thankyou. I may well plagiarise parts of your letter (if that's OK) and include it in the one I am currently composing to send to Tesco head office about the fact the whole Mr T shopping experience is not what it used to be 12 months ago.

    But then, maybe, I'm just in grumpy old woman mode again this evening! But I don't think I am.

  • Evening all:)
    Just tested the thanks button and its still not working for me!!!!:(
    Im slowly getting back to the "ways" of things RE;housework!!!!
    Since last time way back in August I was telling everyone about my DDs Eczema, well I can tell you all now that she has itchtyosis underneath her eczema and the consultant said its one of the worse cases she has ever seen....DD is too young for UV treatment and a tar??!! treatment!! She also said that Natalya would never grow out of her eczema and that she was one of the unlucky ones:( who would always break out using products or under stress:( so my newest mission is to try and keep her as happy as possible!!

    Done some small flying today... mainly done avon work though...

    fed up though... all my so called "friends" have pulled out of night out tomorrow night saying their skint ..:rolleyes: I started trying to arrange this 6 weeks ago, they all work full time.... all live at home or flatshare so no major commitments... and the night out was arranged so they had been paid so had no excuse!! So im a bit angry. Specially as i had to arrange a babysitter and find the money from the tac credits/child benefit/£20 i made from avon last week)

    Only one person NOT pulled out for being skint wants me to meet me at 10:30pm when he finishes work "to catch up as hasnt seen me for ages" yet he was one who "forgot" to invite me to his wedding earlier this year but remembered all our other friends!! :rolleyes: Im not willing to go out that late anyway specially not when it will mean paying for a taxi either way alone to then sit and drink lemonade as he is tee-total and so if i wanted an alcoholic drink id be drinking alone which would just feel weird. Maybe im just being awkward i dunno but doesnt seem reasonable to me.:o :o

    So im NOT getting my night out i been looking forward to for ages. Just glad i didnt spend the £50 on new shoes and a top i was going to buy today :rolleyes:

    (Least exOH has said he can see why i dont go out now and realises its not me choosing to be boring... i just seem to have no decent friends :( )

    Johanne... you could come out with me but it might be a bit costly on taxis!! lol Maybe you could suggest you and he go out for a coffee one weekend, or say you'd like to catch up if he would like to come to yours after work.. lemonade is cheap enough! ;).. and his new wife if she wants to come along to make sure you aren't stealing him lol.. You will find friends who value you for the wonderful person you are one day and these will cease to be part of your life. ((hugs)) for your cancelled night out.. I hate it when people do that.. my friend does it to me but usually because she has no money!

    :wave: Hey all!

    Managed to get everyone to bed just about. Thankfully the lovely Mr G popped home quickly from work to bring DD1's teddy bear and to see how I was :D He then also brought some coal in for me and changed the baby :D

    Taken my tablets and at the moment I've gone from taking ages just to get into the kitchen to hobbling fairly fast and I'm getting to stand up straighter which is nice! Hopefully by the time I go to bed it won't hurt that much!

    Thanks for the hugs :)
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
