OK, anyone who's in...
READY, STEADY, GO.........

lil_me

Flower a lovely idea but I can't because the dog would dig him up. Boys both having ASD issues they don't tend to 'understand' and when I burried something before they wanted to dig it back up. Ashamed to say he's had to go in the bin, safer. (Grrrrr men DP said 'binning £150' heartless poop head!)

Will join you, need to get up and do something instead of sitting here upset.

I would just like to mention that...

on the way home from the gym I stopped at Morrisons to pick up a crate of Becks (see Grabbit threads, dirt cheap today).

And they ID'd me!

It's all the cleaning see - makes me young and youthful...

One of my jobs today was to clean Sonic out, he's died through the night DP of course said 'well they last long don't they'

Sorry to hear that Lil-Me. I howled like a baby in the vets when we had to put the gerbil down in the summer..and I didn't even know if it was Tails or Whiskers but love those gerbils - even DDs one which 'tastes' me everytime I hold it (with it's very sharp teeth) ... What was Sonic (keep thinking hedgehog but that can't be right...) Mind you I also think having pets with all their problems, early deaths etc is a good life lesson for kids. I can never understand parents who won't get a pet because the kids will be upset when it dies. Part of life's rich tapestry IMHO.

BTW sent home from work poorly sick...gynae probs. Doc booked.:o Can't go far from loos and it's all her fault (points at AF)She's rushing!
My (moon)cup runneth over :rotfl:(well it would if I had one)

Nursemaid for poorly DS (he's 6, pale, wan, and flopping about the place. Not as bad as the weekend but still has a temperature and stomach cramps so thought it best to keep him here today).

Good decision...they go downhill at school when we can't fuss and cuddle them...
I didn't know Tom the doc was in or I wouldn't have posted all that!

lil_me, so sorry about Sonic. Have you told the kiddies yet? Hopefully they took it okay and weren't too upset. If you want to bury him in the garden you could always get a stone ornament and put it on top of his wee grave. We have done this with our two cats graves after they were buried, otherwise the dogs would dig them up quicker than you can say Jack Frost!

Not sure how I am feeling today, a bit perkier although still coughing And my foot is still swollen and hurting, and it's coming up for three weeks on Thursday. Hmm I think something might seriously be wrong or I did some major damage, still bit late to go to the Minor Injuries clinic seeing as it was done that length of time. I didn't help matters yesterday and this morning though as I have been standing ironing for a good three hours.

Have been productive today though, did three hours of ironing inbetween popping on and off of Facebook and cups of tea breaks. I've also cleaned my kitchen units and worktops thoroughly But when I told DH he laughed and said I was the only person he knows that cleans the kitchen and it is being ripped out on Wednesday..lol I didn't even think about that, I just cleaned it while I was making a cup of tea inbetween the ironing..lol Am I mad???

Good afternoon. Lots of hugs and sympathy for lil_me.
I caused extra work for myself this morning. I forgot to give DD a form to take to school. She was due to have a music lesson but the music teacher wouldn't let her start without the form. So I had to do a double school run, which was a bit of a pain because it is 6 miles to school. Hopefully, I got the form back in time. I'll have to wait and see if she looks happy or cross when she comes out of school this afternoon, before I know for sure.
I'm glad the order of jobs has been swapped around. It has been kitchens on a Monday since I started learning to fly. Monday is my busy day so my kitchen hasn't had a thorough doing yet.
I'm expecting visitors tomorrow so the living room is ideal for me. I just need to get on and shift that pile of ironing on the chair.

HHI 1.30 - 2.00 anyone? We can watch the telly while we do it.

Justamum - you have just described what I've got. Started last Tuesday with the very jippy tummy and went downhill from there - the headaches don't shift no matter what I take :mad:

I think you all just need to put me down and put me out my misery

Just back from the docs who has signed me off work for a week - the last time I was signed off work was 18 years ago :eek:

Anyway - hope you are feeling better Justamum and hugs to any other poorlies out there :grouphug:

Hope you're feeling better. I can't get a sick note - I'm a SAHM:rotfl:. I thought I was suffering withdrawal from my anti-depressants, but now I think it's a sheer coincidence. My friend was ill last week with the same symptoms as me - but feeling flu-ey on top of it! My spinning head is spinning less each day.

I even went Christmas shopping this morning. Trying to buy presents for your 3 year old when said 3 year old is with you is not easy :rotfl:. One of the things I wanted to get her is an uglydoll - but she saw me buying it so I had to give it to her there and then.

I bought her a horsey type thing, but not a stable. It's a 4x4 with horse trailer, two horses, a rider and various other bits to go with it. I also got her some Barbie rollerblades as she's always going round the house in her brother and sisters, and they are far too big for her!

Got DD1 a new mobile phone. The one she has got is a flip open one and the connection between the two halves has broken. Got quite a good deal on a new one - £100 for the phone with £100 credit thrown in :T:T:T

Got DS a new watch - it had to have a strap which goes underneath the watch as he's allergic to the metal. I need to get him something else too. He wants a phone, but we got DD1 hers when she started in year 7 and were going to do the same for him. Might have to get him one of these bargain ones yet. Must discuss with DH (who came back from Scotland with no voice left!)

Right, ramble over. No flying done so must get on before Doctors starts. Might just have a :coffee: as DD2 is asleep on the sofa (cuddling new uglydoll) so don't want to disturb her.
