Sexy huge hugs hun, you know where I am if you need to talk xx Thanks for the offer.

He made me laugh yesterday, I had a rest in the afternoon & he had to have one as well, he didn't realise how tiring housework was!! This had me chuckling too.

Hope you're not in too much pain and that you're managing to have some r&r. Is there anything that you need?

Shorter :rotfl: I would say a good 2-3 inches, thinking I might go shorter still next time and the hairdresser did ask if I wanted colour in, possiby hi lights. She is going to bring the chart next time so we can discuss :eek: I have never had any colour at all so this is a BIG step for me!

I grew it longer as DH said he liked it longer but I have had it really short, as in practically shaved at the back :eek:

I know this will sound ridiculous but I don't want anything too radical as DH might not recognise me, not that I am likely to bump into him for a long time! Yup mad person me lol

Oopsy forgot to show Miss A reply to your DD's email, will get her to do that in the next few mins.

Thanks for all your lovely messages and posts. My mother in law turned up and offered to take all my ironing to give me a hand but i did it last night so i bet she was relieved as i usually have a mountain to get through. She is really kind and helps me when she can. She is having my little 1 tommoro so i can talk to the vicar without him running about causing havoc. I still have not got in shower so off to do that now and tommoro i have also got to sort out the vat return. My head is still buzzing and i am not good with figures at the best of times but i can't really put it off any longer, besides it will be easier for me to concentrate without a baby at my feet. XXX

Thinking of you newby money saving chicki - hugs to you and your family, and glad you have such fond memories to treasure... :A

Valli, is white mark toothpaste? mine often get that everywhere??? don't figure, but it doesn't always come out on first wash...

Just had another go at DS - trying to show me videos on his phone instead of doing his room, "it will only take 5 minutes" - "so will your room if you just get on with it!" I don't mind watching it after, but really sick of it now, nothing happening so am going to take away a few toys me thinks... :mad:

My wrist is really hurting too, since about Tuesday, but I have a sneaky feeling it is the onset of arthritis... it really aches and typing hurts (so why am I on here you ask... ) Did you hurt it at all in your 'youf'?

Hi all, i've not been on here this wk as sadly my mum passed away sunday and cleaning has been the last thing on my mind. I have got the vicar coming up in the morning though so i am going to have to have a quick clean up tonight as i don't want to look like i live in a pigs sty. I will try and get back into things next wk as keeping busy seems to help. Mum battled with cancer for many many years without ever complaining and she gave her family such a wonderful life. I will always be greatful for the time we had. Now i am going to make some breakfast and force myself to get in the shower.

Huge hugs and prayers for you and your family. Sounds like she was a lovely person and has left you with wonderful memories.

I always think of an old Native American saying at times like this -

'There is no death, only a change of worlds'
