    Soappie - I've got 2 kids who need rehoming (i'll keep one) are you interested? I'd hate for you to have an empty nest.

    Facebook gifts, it's not that complicated, the hard part was deciding what gifts but as people post stuff I have been adding more :) you need to be one of us to understand the humour with some, like Rose, Golden Mule, Fling!!! etc hahaha. Just something a bit different to keep the Facebook addicts amused. Any suggestions for gifts drop me a facebook message (inbox on here gets clogged up too quickly)

    I've just got back from consultation. I am covered in paint and glue so yes was a great evening. Spoke to people who do the consultations and council staff about accessible equipment highlighting too that it's not just wheelchairs - for example my son can't support himself on a normal swing but is too big (at 10) for a baby swing so the hammock style or shuggyboat style are better etc.

    aimee lovely to hear from you :)

    I've had a look at my list, I do need to put away the laundry DP put upstairs but other than that I am done so going to focus on my studying this evening for a while.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    CAN I COME BACK????????????
    A little update on natalya, she has offocially been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and her immune system will be medically shut down, and she will be in intensive care for 2 weeks then in isolation for a further 4 weeks.....Adam had his interview for the grammar school which went really well and he starts on the first of sept, Natalya has been allocated an emergency classroom assistant from sept as Adam wont be there anymore!! Adam is also back in the fracture clinic in 4 weeks as his wee finger was broken when he was attacked by 8 other children several weeks ago and it only came to light when he was attacked again by a 16yo boy (Adam is 11) he said it was sore but didnt want to worry me anymore!! Kristian (14) has just finished his school tests and some of the results were surprising!! He has done well!!
    Brendan (9) has been in and out of hospital with his chest, I think A&E in DPK have a reserved seat for me!! but he has been clear for this week:)
    My Gran had another few TIAs and was in hospital for a few days getting fluids and she has been discharged to a nursing home to recover some more, I still go on a wednesday evening to rub her knees with craem and moisturise her face as her skin is so delicate.....but great for a lady who is almost 93:D
    DH is still much the same.......still saying some weird stuff like he is gay and queer to the kids but he is easily distracted!!
    Me well......some abnormal cells have been discovered...and the nhs have arranged for me to have private consultation to see whats up as their waiting lists are too long!!

    Yuk... water filter clearly needs changing :o - I'll just have to open a bottle of wine to keep me going until the new one is ready :p

    I agree Greenbee the wine is a must - you need to make sure you drinking stuff is pure - we don't want any nasty tummys :rotfl:

    It's nice to know that I can now relax and enjoy the weekend with my family with the minimal of daily chores,............Thank you guys for all your encouraging words, I couldn't have done this without you. I will need more words of wisdom next week, as I can feel my motivation dwindling.
    I need to stay focused on this, I have enjoyed all week, but least of all today mostly because I feel so tierd, I am on the go from 7:30am and hardly sit down,.......................
    My MACAW CHALLENGE is to try and stick to flylady and get some stars!

    I haven't posted for so many months, I've forgotten - do we have a weekend list still?
    I noticed you were back on the list Flybabybunting - its lovely to see you - and you have had a brilliant week - REMEMBER you dont have to do the extras to get the stars - maybe you should ease up a little on yourself so you have a little more time to sit down and have a little rest. Its great that you will have an easier weekend. yes we usually have a week-end list - depends on what pigpen is doing too. but its VERY voluntary:rotfl:

    carslberggal - sorry about the elbow - its not a little thing to you so please dont feel that. We all have our problems in one way or another. How is DS doing? Is he still in germany? (Hope I have that right)
    greenbee - thats a real nuisance - just as well you have medicinal wine available:rolleyes::D
    lil_me huge (((hugs))) for you for fighting for people - you are a real angel!:A
    grateful what happened at work - I havent got to that bit yet - are you ok? little barstewards!
    MOF77 what a lot on your plate again honey - you are amazing how you cope - hugs and prayers for ALL of you -I hope they get you sorted out quickly so that you can take care of your 'babes' - will be in touch by pm soon.
    love and hugs
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Went to the docs, he said there's nothing to worry about so that's good. I love my doctor, he's brilliant. He really cares and he remembers you. Unfortunately he's leaving at the end of July :( I feel quite sad about that. Hopefully who ever comes to replace him will be as kind and empathetic.

    Well done RoseP - I was worried it was blood pressure....
