Quillion - glad your op went well. And if you're under orders not to do stuff then DON'T DO IT! Your body's recovery is far more important that a bit of dust or dirt on something.

Triker - tell Piggers I'm sending her soothing heat packs for her back, some double strength painkillers and a wee bit of vodka on the side..

Lil-me - hugs on the return of the wicked WIL from the north (or should that be east?)

I have been to NN's and embraced Gordon with open arms. I have also caught up on the Gurkha news and having always admired Joanna Lumley - I now think she rocks - big time! Go Jo Go!

Now off to cook lamb chops for dinner and do a bit of flying - somewhere....

I hear what you're saying, but I've been with DH for 11 years now & I know it's not "emotional blackmail", he's just upset & thinking things through in his head.
Hope everyone's well. I've just been doping my dailies (still got this stinking cold :mad:)

Emily I have never been married for 11 years, so I'm not in a position to comment. Sorry to poke my oar in. Hope your cold gets better. Soz.:o

Just thought I'd give a quick update on the best friend up the road situation. I think I told you all a couple of weeks ago we were doing a photographic operation to catch some yoofs that had been, basically, attempting to terrorise her and her hubby - throwing stones etc. etc. So cameras were deployed.

I can now let you know that the camera deployment was successful. Pictures were eventually taken successfully and presented to the school. Two perps were identified and sang like canaries when confronted with the evidence. Turns out that, off and on over the couple of weeks or so, there were FOURTEEN young lads (we're talking year 12 here!) involved (in batches, off and on). Five of which were the main ring leaders.

Restorative Justice team at the school are now involved big time and BFUP and her hubby are meeting with the perps in a couple of weeks. BFUP and hubby have to decide what sort of 'punishment' they want the kids to go through. BFUP's immediate answer was 'an assurance they won't do that to anyone ever again'. She'll accept an apology but is also wondering if elf and safety will allow she asks the perps to rid her fence of the grafitti which appeared about a week after the first incidents.

But it's good news on the whole and shows that perseverence and evidence can help. We now worry that the parents of the kids involved, now they've had letters, will want to prosecute BFUP for photographing their dear children without their consent!

Time will tell...

I have done most of the kitchen this evening. So I'm beginning to get there again...

Bravo :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

sorry, rather annoyingly I am just catching upfrom yesterday, tried to go online on my mobile but failed spectacularly. soappie I wish you were my neighbour.

Jo the flylady who said muscle is more dense than fat is spot on, your shape will have changed, though your weight hasn't. I bet your clothes are looser. Now I am going to be annoying and list all the good things about being single.

You are fab and he will reap as he sows eventually.

Not having to watch TV or films you have no interest in
being able to go to bed when you like
Not having to deal with family-in-law or dubious friends
Eating (or not) when you like
Time for your lovely boy
space to focus on your career
s p a c e
freedom to ogle any guy who takes your fancy....
there's more, any suggestions?

Evening :hello:

Thanks for all your best wishes and hugs; its really kind of you all, and means a lot. Well I have just sat down, and I am now really tired. Since lunchtime, I have given the childrens rooms a good tidy, which always seems to take ages, but its worth it when it is all looking nice. I gave upstairs and the stairs a really thorough hoover. I have started using this "dry shampoo" which is like a powder but in a spray can. I wash my hair every other day, and on the day in between I use this. You would not believe how dusty it has made everything in our bedroom and the carpet. The cylinder was full of this dry shampoo white powder, so I think I will stop using it, if it means I have to do even more dusting! :rolleyes: I put more washing away, so now I am up to date with all the washing, which is always good. I sorted out clothes and uniform, ready for ds and dd on Monday morning, did a bit of filing and got a few bits together that I need to give to Mum and Dad tomorrow. Dh made me some scrambled eggs and toast as I feel a bit icky tonight and don't think I could have managed much else.

Hope you all have a nice evening and a lovely weekend. Congratulations vanilla on your new arrival; what lovely news!

Take care everyone. Abbie xxx

Abbie - re the dry shampoo thing - why do you use it? Washing hair strips away the natural oils. Putting dry stuff through on the days you don't wash strips even more out. I'm a 'wash my hair every other day' type of girl. If it's sticky up on the days I don't wash, then I just run a damp brush through it to get it into some sort of shape.

You're doing well with the flying. But don't do too much. You're doing the most important job in the world - growing a new person..... listen to your body and rest when you need. xx

Wot soappie said. You need to be very kind to yourself and rest. Its not an illness, but it does take a huge amount of mental and physical energy.
