    OMG Claire I couldn't be without heating at home in this weather. Hope you get it sorted really quickly!

    I really should get moving and do some housework.

    Took dd to hosp this morning and she has got some special grips to put in her shoes, no more appointments till April - woo hoo.

    Might just do a couple of comps while I gear myself up to clean the bathroom.
    :wave:

    Right, got my lunch. Got leek and potato soup, which tastes fab. No bread today as have had it for 2 days in a row and I need a day off, so got packet of hula hoops instead (checked online and apparently a baguette sized crusty white roll has 360 calories, but these hula hoops have 175 :):)). So still being good! :):):)

  • Hello everyone. I have been in a bad way since xmas but the last couple of days I'm finding a bit of fight in me, so I have been to the doctor and have a sick note and this morning saw my MP who is going to try to help. None of this will bring LO back but at least I feel I am doing something and it may protect the other kids. Back in court on Monday so please all pray or think good thoughts for us. I'm so scared!

    I found an article in The Times which is so like what has happened to me. Please read it if you have a few minutes. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/camilla_cavendish/article5050750.ece

    I can't get through on any of the benefits phone numbers, just sitting in queues, and don't know what I do with the sick note to get some benefits coming in. Anyone got any advice which doesn't involve leaving the house?

    Thanks to everyone on here for the hugs and support, and all the chatter and parcels too. I feel you are really my friends, not just in the virtual world.

    Cathy, in answer to your question about Lush, I think Bella was desperate for the soap!?

    That is dreadful about your heating claire, they had someone on GMTV with no heating only electric heater and calor gas heater, bet they would come round quicker if you threaten to withhold rent!, I would check with CAB surely it is not legal with these temperatures, they should supply some emergency heating at least.

    SOD it made interesting reading, I hope everything goes well for you on Monday, you need to be strong, will be thinking of you

    Really???? Not in this part, we've not had any snow this winter so far, the kids are disappointed!! (i'm not) :rotfl:

    Yeah it has been on and off all morning here, but not loads, we woke up to it on monday morning too but it had all frozen over so my road is like as ice rink as i live in a cul de sac.
