I am very slowly getting there, didn't get anything done last night as it turned out to be a very stressful night. There have been rumours that our Landlord's business might be going down the tubes for months, yesterday while DH was at work someone who works with LL asked if we had had any visitors, as in repossession people :eek::eek::eek: We don't have any money for a deposit or to move anywhere else so me being me, starts to panic, I put a new thread on MSE and got some good advice but I also sent DH to ask LL what was going on (LL lives opposite us) LL reasured DH that nothing like that has happened and if it was, he would give us enough notice so that we could find somewhere else. I wish the people who work with him would stop sending these rumours home with DH as stress is a major trigger for my ME/CFS and it does my body no good!! As a result my muscles/joints are killing me today and could definitely of done with staying in bed!
DH's car has been causing major problems as well at the moment, he took it to volvo as the part we needed we can only get from them, and it can only be programmed by them as well, it's going to cost £321!!! :eek: Luckily, we know DH's employer very well, he's worked for him on/off for the last 5 years but kept a good relationship with him, so his employer is going to pay for it to be done on Friday, and we are paying back £10 a week, when we can afford to pay more we will, but it won't be for awhile as we are still trying to get out of my overdraft!!!

*Rant over*

sunshinesheli well done on theory test, I know how you feel about living so far apart, before me and DH got married we were 400 miles apart (9 hour drive) so only time we got to see each other was when his coach was in Cornwall, we been living together now since October and slowly things are getting done, it's lovely being able to see him every day (when he isn't on tour) just make sure you don't try and do 'everything' flying wise when you first move in, I made that mistake and now nothing get's done unless I do it! DH is starting to help out now though
Sarah good luck today with your new job
hollyh still don't know what to say, I hope they can finish the investigation soon so you and your family can put some closure around the subject and grieve
froddington good luck with the school trip
toots hugs and warm wishes that you are doing well

Good luck for all those with DD's and DS's doing exams, I can still remember doing mine (8-9 years ago :eek:) and it was a nightmare, I went complete AWOL all way through Yr 10 - halfway through Yr 11 but luckily managed to come out with some ok grades (no-one including me knows how!!)

BInbag dance is where you grab a bin bag and literally (if you want to ) dance round the room/house filling it with rubbsih.

Floordrobe is the pile of clothes on the bedroom floor that need putting away, one of my problems I do the washing and ironing (or folding direct from the TD ) but don't put everything away immediately hence the floordrobe.

HHC = Half hour challenge, you run round either doing things from the list of if you are like me doing anything that makes an improvement to your house. I call this dot to dot
