Pigpen - your student shutting up routine is priceless!

And if all else fails I send hubby round in his dressing gown!

Mudbath, even my bonkers friend who returned to work too soon still cried
JillD I can't cope with toothpaste very well now at all, think I did some damage with the full pumps of aquafresh hurts. Without giving medical advice, I was on Amitriptyline 140mg a day (this was also for pain so higher dose) I didn't like how it made me feel so came off it, 10mg is about right for coming off dose then done every other day, 3 days etc usually so you probably did it almost right, even if by accident. So well done, the hard bits over but I think it'd be worth popping for a chat with your GP to make them aware of the decision you have made and what you have done about it.

I'm here !!! Strange but for the second time ever since we moved here DP got a run over this way and so got me off the sofa which was the tricky bit and made sure I got up here before supping coffee and going back to work. Fate? probably! DSs in bed, on DPs advice I am sat on the chair instead of on the bed, easier to get up from here for loo, then when very tired into bed, he might be back then anyway as it's very quiet. I'm falling distance from the bed and at the right height so a fall in the right direction and bingo, I'm in.

Students, seriously, if you have problems with them report them to the Uni, it does usually work. If one throws up in the taxi DP gets the Uni to sort out the cleaning bill then they bill the student. I could mention some horror stories about what's happened to those who have upset people I know in the past, but all I shall say is....a burglar pooped himself thinking he was going to be hung (silly boy broke into a dog handlers house) the rope was even out, rugby players upstairs I threatened to tell their Mum, it's amazing how much that threat works on HUGE blokes who can't cope with extra hassle from Mam to make sure they are behaving.

But thank you, for willing me up, I did climb them myself with a few muttered harsh words I only did a 'square word' once as DS2 calls them.

Hmm, just looked at my research project, tempted to do some on it now but bad idea I think....1 hour and I can take more pain relief to get me through the night......might be naughty and take them a little sooner. I just found some Burneze, went to use it then noticed said no open burns, flup that could have hurt! anyway found some savlon which I have slopped on it instead. :rolleyes: Looks like decorations removal will have to be tomorrow then.

I am 53,421,680 - apparently, I am in the top 0.89% richest people in the world... now that is scary - no wonder there is a recession....:rotfl:

Seriously, it does make you think - didn't realise I was so well off...

Hey.. I am richer than you...

You are the 42,619,390 richest person in the world!

You're in the TOP 0.71%

I wonder if I'll EVER be in the top 1,000,000

Hi all
Some of you (most notably from the flylady thread) will remember me from a year or two back.
We had our 3rd baby, a h3llish pregnancy and then the baby born when the other 2 were only just 4 and 2. Meanwhile I've also been working 3 days a week, my husband has his own business, works crazy hours and is away a lot, and we have no family support at all. It has been totally crazy and I have not been able to focus on money saving at all. We've dipped into our savings a bit , and fairly unneccesarily (annoyingly), but we survived :T :T

Anyway, I before Christmas I decided to give up work :j :j :j


We decided its just all too crazy and something had to give. Hubby is going to try and pay himself a bit more (he is salaried and the rest goes into the business) and we are extending the term of our mortgage.

But it does mean we will have to watch the pennies a bit more, but then I should have more time to meal plan, and cook and generally be on here

So anyway I wanted to say I am back, I have missed you all, and I am looking forward to lots of OS tips again!

Jill - that is soooo spooky, I was just thinking about you! Welcome back honey xx

PS I'm in Dalgety Bay.

:wave: from Penicuik. My best pal lives in Limekilns and her DDs birthday party is in Dalgetty Bay later this month. I just need to find out exactly where :rotfl:

lil_me

Do we do this on household income or just our own? **lost**


toochoosey, what it fails in is relative wealth, for some of the poorer countries, £3000 a year which gets you in the top 14% would buy you a lot more.

Glad you got up the stairs in the end lil_me - fate certainly comes in handy some times - it must be all that Karma you built up with the Christmas Card deliveries...
Hope you feel better soon... :A

Love the 'square words' excellent...
