    Hi all - I started this in the morning and I am now only getting it finished so it might be 'out of date' but I decided not to go back over it and accept that it is 'good enough' the way it is.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    :j:beer::j my first ever star please Star Number 2 please Toots:T:T:T:T
    And another one please :j:j:j:j
    Wow I have finally managed to get some stars:T Anyone would think someone was coming to view my house at 10am tomorrow:rotfl::rotfl:My house looks lovely, I'd buy it!
    Got my allotment and it's a cracker, :cool: My friend and I are really excited:rotfl:My dd is teething again and has had to have calpol and ibuprofen, bless she has just dropped off so i have an appointment with Gordon now, hope i have some tonic left.
    Wish me luck for the viewing tomorrow. Am off to MY allotment tomorrow afternoon:j
    Thifty WOW!! not just 1 but 5 STARs - well done thats great:T:T and your allotment sounds brilliant - i hope you have lots of fun with it and get some really good veg etc from it. I hadnt realised you were selling your house - I hope the viewing goes well today - fingers and toes crossed. I have a good memory but not that good! I use tabs and then collate all my replies - just like the others do using wordpad or similar. Hope Lo is a bit better today - that Gordon sure does get around;)

    toots - just wanted to add to what everyone else says, in that you really are a star to mention everyone personally. It's a really feel-good thread and a lot of that is because of your input. :T
    Thank you - you are making me blush but 'No' its because of ALL of us - you included -that makes this a lovely thread:A we try to support each other - I have a bit more time than some to do replies thats all and I ramble and waffle far too much!!!:rotfl:
    Sent it off 9.15pm - a right load of firkin carp.
    but Aunty isnt that what the classics are anyway ...:rolleyes::rotfl: sorry!!
    How are you today - have you got sunshine - we did until now.
    FFp enjoy your new games!!!:rotfl:
    lil_me hope you get your assignment done for tomorrow - what a lovely thing to do to your dad - he will love it!
    juliejim hugs honey thats not good - I see some of the others have given you the advice I was going to pass on and Kazm has given the professional tips too.
    1. get the district nurse to come and help/supervise you - dont be afraid to ask -if the children get stressed with it it makes you upset for them and the whole situation becomes a nightmare. so its in their best interests that the nurse comes and helps initially.
    2. make sure their hands are warm - a wee soak in a bowl of warm water
    3. let the hand/arms dangle down
    4. massage the hand as if pushing the blood up to the tip before you do the pr1ck
    5. on the side of the finger not the pad and squeeze the sides as you are doing it
    6. maybe some fun plasters to put on?
    these are the things that have been used on me so I hope they help and it gets easier - and as Mum ona mission said -try another type of machine if you can. (((hugs)))

    ladyL Hi honey _ i hope you got a good day to go out with Harley - lucky devil - think I might have to put that on my wish list!!!!
    Boddy hope the wedding was nice - yes I have been speaking to my Dad too - hope your back is better today. Happy Summer Solstice to you and everybody xx
    sexy glad Ebony survived the vet's - had to chuckle at him having a go at the retriever though!!! pleased to see he has returned safely - will he be in the huff with you now?
    AnW's Mum oooops sorry - only trying to help and I know you really want to get it done:p:p Hope you have had a lovely meal out today. Did you get rid of the greeen stuff successfully:rotfl: Hugs for you and the SW's - hope you had a nice visit.
    SSl - hope the family have arrived safely - what a lot of catching up to do- have a great time with them.
    Mrs B you are not alone - some people just dont get on with Stardrops at all. they have a complete range now - window cleaners, cream cleaners etc etc etc - i get mine in poundland
    rach - hope you have improved during today - did you get a lot off your hair - I fortunately had mine cut really short the day BEFORE I was taken back in - what a stroke of luck that was - its so much easier to keep.
    Kazm I hope you are wrong honey and your application is selected - but its good practice and now you know to have a look at your CV etc and get things ready for anything else if you dont get this one. Will keep everything crossed that you get an interview - it sounds ideal for you.
    Told Ds2 NO he couldn't cut off his dongle:eek: and then made him washi his hands:rolleyes:
    oooh holly LMAO :rotfl::rotfl: the wee soul - whatever made him decide to do that?
    FFP - well done for doing some studying - far better to do babay steps with it too - little and often
    Kazw - (((hugs))) hope things resolve themselves with DH well done with the strawbs. Lucky you seeing the red arrows:T

    LOL.. did you make enough to add to a holiday fund??? You have to use the money for something useful!!

    I went to the crapboot today found a cousin (so bought a cot and highchair for Jacob).. and a Triker.. and got hopped on by millions of wittle spiders!!

    My mother is on about doing one in 2 weeks time and muggins here somehow managed to get roped in.. can't sorry... I think it may be my daughters birthday :D:D:D:D ... I'll be busy building a party!! .. may encourage cinema and sleepover actually!!

    Off back to my gutting of the girly room.. and next I shall do a few bits to bung on ebay.. I am SKINT.. and then I have next weeks list to do...

    Made about 70 plus quid so its good, and more to the point got rid of tons of crapola.

    Awww do the car boot, if its at the same place we met today its really good and not too horrific re getting up as it starts about 9/10am so you don't have to get up at stupid o'clock. But best to get there for 9am ish as they turn people away at 10am.;)
