    Am back from dressmaking course - still on, despite the snow, which was good news.

    Sorry to hear about the pants week, leilia (sp?) - don't takeon too much today though - we all need sleep!

    Rosepink - big hugs. :grouphug: Make time to take care of yourself, know that we have been there, and that we care. When I get "in a bubble" I pop on an old movie - Pete's Dragon or The Goonies are great - cry into my tea, and huddle further under my duvet! Oh, and I hide the phone under a mountain of cushions so I don't have to talk to anyone too! Anything that makes you feel better is perfectly ok, and not at all pathetic.

    This too will pass.......

    Am off to tackle Wednesday now, and also need to declutter the drive and pavement of snow. Anyone up for a HHC at 1?

Hes ok, and his teacher has no major concerns, but thought you may know of a site which would have some useful tools which we could use at home to help......any ideas?

    Thanks in advance xx

    Its just work messing me about and stressing me. I don't handle stress very well. They were very rude and sarcastic to me on th phone earlier. And I'm still suspended due to something that's not even my fault, it's my boss's fault for not telling me about it! I've written to her, and she says she has received it and I will get a response in the post tomorrow or Saturday.
    I've had a strawberry cheesecake (a small one, not a huge one!) and DH has come home and plied me with jaffa cakes.
    He's also made me laugh. I'm always on at him to shut cupboard doors, but he never does. He went into the kitchen to put some shopping away (Thursday market bargins) and he opened a cupboard, forgot and then walked into it. Oh the irony of it!

    I feel a bit better now. Going to take it easy this afternoon tho as a bit fragile today.
    Piggers, I thought you were at Crufts today?
