evening folks - just got back form work and had a quick catch up of the thread.

Lame Wolf - I know what you mean about the mobile number - not sure if I can do it.
Thanks for all the hugs and good wishes for tomorrow - I'm always moved by how much support there is here when we need it.:TDo what you love :happyhear0 -
Hello All. Late here and not much OS today. Just one of those days when I couldn't get motivated to do much. I managed to get the kitchen scrubbed well, the hoovering done and one load of laundry done. It's hanging all over the flat. I think that will be my new decorating theme. :rotfl:
I had a restless night and didn't sleep well and sort of dragged through today. Hopefully tomorrow I'll wake up ready to go and do. Just what I'll go and do is the question.
Lots of gentle hugs to all who need them or want them.
Peyton
Thought for today/tonight...

Bit late I know but thought I'd just pop in whilst waiting for my medicines to take effect.Had a lovely day at Bluewater and managed to buy some oilcloth plus some stiff red fabric that was 1 metre wide and I could buy 10 cms of it. I am going to spray it with starch and top and tail the ends with pinking scissors. That should make me a nice long stiff piece of material for 97p a roll of 5mtrs of red ribbon was £8.00. I also went mad and treated myself to a middle sized Remoska so I want to have a practice over the weekend.
Had a nice lunch with my pal, and then we went to see 'The Changling' with Angelina Jolie.Good film, excellent story and the photography was amazing. Didn't think she was the best actress they could have picked though.Brilliant movie though. feeling a bit sleepier now so I'm off to bed.My DDs birthday tomorrow so I have to be up with the lark and round to her house with the presents. Last day of History course in the afternoon,so it will be a busy day .I also have to find time to get to the local plod shop as my garden shen has been broken into twice this week.Lost a B&D hedge trimmer and some gardening tools, I suppose even the villians have to go Christmas Shopping.Wish they had taken the rusty old paint tins.ah well time for bed
Night night all, God Bless0 -

Little bear is fine but I realised that he could get out of the playpen I thought he was asleep in when he fell downstairs. The playpen is large, solid and has high sides. Not high enough. The door to his room needs a specific type of gate because it is a lot narrower than standard and the construction of the staircase mean that a gate at the top of the stairs is impossible to fit.
He had wandered round that floor, and not only brought down his favourite toy with him but two bottles of medicine (still with their childproof lids on thank goodness) that were in a different room than his. Fortunately he missed the toilet cleaner.
:eek: does not do my feelings justice.
AHHH wee ones they are real escapologists:rolleyes: Mums need eyes on the back of their heads!Spreading the gospel that is Martin Lewis to the future generation....I'm a Home Economics Teacher and being thrifty is the way!:A0 -

Reverbe, it was a good type of smile, not laughing at all. Made me smile in gratitude for all I do have.
As for the flatmate, I'd be mad too. I hope you're over the being mad now.
Lots of gentle hugs to you.
