  • Morning all - beautiful sunny day here today but I'm busy organising removals etc. Will take an hour or so to enjoy it though.
    raeh pick me up some bargains will you? :D I'll be off to somewhere similar this weekend.

    jamla 3 of them! What a saint you are. Don't get too tired out.

    pcl How are you doing today? Recovering OK from your trip?

    bz what have you got planned to do today so you don't get bored?

    I had a big wobble in the middle of the night here about the cost of this place and whether it would all fall through and I would belet down again, but got a lovely email this morning from Landlady which has put my mind at rest again. Won't feel truly safe until I get the keys in my hand, but she'll give me keys on 9th for me to move on 10th, so not too long to wait/suffer :D
    All my family and friends are so chuffed for me it's lovely and I've had loads of offers of help moving and settling in which is nice.
    Must get broadband organised there (bz :D)
    Later dudes
    I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break :D

    who likes (liked) neopets? the original creators have created another site, aimed more at adults apparently. guess where i have been playing all morning lol.

    recovering ok thanks careful, just have to figure out how to convince her not to come visit me anytime before she would usually at the end of the year. of course im looking at the bag of dirty clothes and other stuff that really should be put away and not doing much else. ill get round to it eventually.

    whitney is cold, even in this heat she is curled up under the blanket.

    Hi y'all :wave:

    That's brilliant news Aunty Axe. So glad to hear you've got help too.

    I'm feeling very strange pcl. I've got this impending sense of doom iykwim?
    I should be feeling happy as the agents rang me and said that the landlord of the house I was looking at said he would accept XOH as a guarantor after all. I'm moving two days after Aunty Axe.

    I don't know if I'm just scared to be on my own with the kids. What if I'm making a big mistake etc, etc.....

    It's a lovely day too. Hope everyone else is enjoying the sunshine xxxx

    kass your not making a big mistake. its a big change yes, but not a mistake. imo its going to be better for you all, think of all the worry over whether its going to be a safe evening or an evening when you ahve to find somewhere else to be being gone. much less tension around equals mich better. im glad you foind somewhere.

    Im feeling a bit better today, still in a lot of pain and been awake since 4ish this morning so I might go and have a lay down soon. The fog isnt so bad today though, my brain just freezes up and I cant think of anything to say, I guess you all know how that feels :rolleyes:

    Kass Good luck with your move too, you sound like one of lifes copers so Im sure you and the kids will be fine, its quite understandable that your having doubts,aunty axe is too by the sounds of it, but just think this time next month it will be all over and you will both be settled and happy ( I hope) in your new homes.

    dd's getting ready for her big night out (birthday bash) tomorrow her boyfriend has told her to be ready at 5.30am and bring an overnight case and swimming stuff ? he wont tell her were their going, its driving us all mad, shes going to be clubbing till between 2.00 - 3.00am so will only get 2 hours sleep :eek:

  • :T:Tkass :j:jThat's wonderful news and I am so chuffed for you! It will be fine, I promise you. The first time you do anything - particularly what feels like a big step like this - it's bound to be scary as you've got no previous experience to draw on. Just think though - no arguments. no tension, no walking on eggshells. I am sure you and the kids will thrive and be able to happy relaxed and feel safe in your new home. Trust me, I'm an Auntie Axe *g* :p

    Sue Sorry this flare is taking so long to clear. Please do carry on resting so you stand the best chance of it being over soon. Am intrigued to hear where DD is off to!

    pcl I think the order of the day is to curl up under the blanket with Whitney. The stuff to do will stiull be there when you feel more like tackling it.

    I only had a wobble last night as in the past if things can go wrong for me they tend to. I had forgotten about it, but the house that fell through brought it all back. I've got no reason to doubt this this one will go through smoothly, but I can't trust in it iykwim. :confused:

    I tend to wave my arms and legs about in my sleep and last night I managed to scratch myself right down my face with my fingernails :rolleyes::eek:
    It's really smarting and looks like I've been attacked by the cat!
    I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break :D

    Where is everyone? :confused:

    Well, I am here and congratulations on your new home :T:T:T. I am so pleased for you.

    I spent the day on the Northumbrian coast at a lovely little place - Alnmouth. The weather was wonderful and the walk to the beach lovely and flat. It's one of our favourite places, that we used to visit when the children were small. The tide was way out in the distance and families were making the most of the good weather digging holes and building elaborate castles. It was great and I feel quite recharged, but tired and headachy at the same time so I'm off to bed.

    Thank you so much for your kind offer of the pill container - but I'll only pm you my address if you pm me yours - so I can send you a book in exchange ;).

    Kassandra I'm so pleased you have found a new home too and hope it brings you happiness and a new start, full of positivity :).

    I hope you all have a great weekend - and remember the sunscreen 'cos it's gonna be hot, hot, hot! :shocked:

    Great news about the house Kass!! :dance: You're not making a mistake, just a really scary step and you'll look back in a couple of months and pat yourself on the back for taking the plunge! :D

    I've been a busy bee today. I had an emergency appointment with the dentist today at 12.30 (after having woken up at 7ish with DF and not getting back to sleep til about 9:rolleyes:) after finally getting ticked off about my stupid recurring/ever present abcess above my front tooth. :o I was packing it cos I really don't trust my new dentist but I managed, in the end, to blag seeing a different one at the same place (and have subsequently managed to transfer onto her patient list instead ;)) and - even better - she never even did anything but an xray and just gave me a referral to the hospital. Now I can almost hear you exclaiming about how I'd avoid the knife at all costs...but, turns out, I'd take that (at the hospital where they do it properly) over seeing my poleski dentists, that can't do a filling right, and having them do a root canal in my front tooth!! :rolleyes:

    Then after that potential horror I came out to the car to a parking ticket on my windscreen. :mad:

    Then I dropped in on mil2b (to get something) and realised what I bad state she was in...on my way out to pick DF up from work to take him to the dental department at the hospital to see about getting 3 of his broken (from training fights years ago) teeth out. Then we went back to see mil2b and staged an intervention...at which I wouldn't budge. She ended up going to the emergency doctor, who sent her to the hospital (from which we'd already come back from today) and she's now admitted.

    Phewf! I'm knackered now!

    And inbetween all that I've been in contact with half the ushers etc to make sure they'll be in attendance for the suit measuring tomorrow.

    *Sigh*

    *And relax*

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

    Suep, I think we're catching off each other cos I've been awake since 4.30 this morning. Darned teeth again!

    My mate text me just as I woke up to tell me he'd wet the bed. :rolleyes: I think it was some reference to how early it was and was probably hoping he'd woke me up and got me cross so he was probably shocked when he got an immediate reply :D

    Wow bz, is she going to be ok? How come you got referred to the hospital? I've got five abcesses and two massive cavities and my wisdom tooth has crumbled into nothing and needs pulling but they won't send me to be put under. Even though I suffer panic attacks when I go to the dentist. They referred me to a clinic and gave me gas to sedate me slightly but I still can't bear the thought of having any treatment under it (they just did it to show me what it was like and injected me to show me I wouldn't feel any pain). My fears were compounded when I went to a dentist in Ireland who gave me a filling that was absolute agony even though she had given me the maximum dose of whatjamacallit stuff that numbs you? Can't think straight. Doubled up on pain relief which has done nothing but sent my eyes and mind squiffy! :o

    Thanks for all your support guys, I'm feeling a lot more positive about things. I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to care for them on my own if I had a bad flare but they are good kids and DS1 is old enough to help out. I was also worried about being lonely. DS1 isn't quite mature enough to babysit (although I have left him with them to go to the shops) as he has special needs but I've got you guys to chat to.

    Anyhoo, I'm waffling now and my little princess has just climbed into bed with me so I'm off for a cuddle. See ya!!
