    Oh dear, there are a couple of down people today. I wonder how we'd do a virtual conga to cheer ourselves up albeit for two minutes?

    That'll be a TMC, then ;) :T :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I'll be doing one when I'm feeling down :p

    Kazm - great news - Flylady Vibes work again ;)

    Well the smell in the fridge wasnt the chicken so we all, apart from OH, have bellys full of curry. Decided not to go shopping as OH had brought some in with him from Mr T that will see DD for lunch tomorrow, oh that and he bought me a bottle of wine so I had to decided shopping or wine - the wine won

    Still feel pretty choked but the rolled eyes in sarcasm and the comment about not needing to deal with that as well means I have sloped off up here to be alone.

    Ok so I'm working backwards on the thread so I havent gone mad, once again a massive massive thank you to all of you who helped us over the last few months & I am sorry I have not named you all personally I'd be here all night!

    funfair - Please accept some really positive winning vibes from all the kaz household for your DS2 Olympic Games tomorrow
    Pauper - be grateful he's done the ironing, when they've been off 3 1/2 months and havent so much as pushed a hoover round once then maybe you can moan
    Summer - hugs for you, sorry you dont want to hear this but, you either have to accept that you have to do everything or accept it will go to pot a bit and accept that. There is no point fighting it you wont win!
    poorbutrich - welcome to the thread, just remember to take things slowly
    hex2 - WTG on the dress sizes, thats really good down 2 sizes since Jan:T
    toots - your day sounds absolutely exhausting - how can you possibly rest with all that going on
    kazwookie - I hope you missed the rain that absolutely fell done and flooded the roads at 3.15
    soappie - I think its lovely that you can now get on with your Ex, I finally had a breakthrough with mine last night when he sent a good luck message for OH. For 12 years they have been at war since I left him for OH ! :o
    dinx - welcome back and dont worry about hating the kitchen - I hate having to do mine. Cant afford a new one and since the last owners put in a black sink the only way I can make it shine is with boot polish !!!!! :rolleyes:
    MOJT - great thinking - yes I like the kitchen as that is where the kettle is (although a cellar would be better). I would contact trading standards about the kitchen, the guy shouldnt be allowed to carry on doing it to someone else
    witchypoo - Hope your DD got her application in, at least at 16 she wants a job unlike my nearly 17 DS
    valli - that sounds really extreme for your DS, I hope he gets something to calm his reaction
    funfair - we didnt have a leak but unfortunately we have velux roof windows and OH had left the one on his side of the bed open - it rained in that direction and now his side of the mattress is soaked, typical when I only just changed the bedding too, still its his side that is wet :rotfl:
    carol - sounds like a typical bloke going away. I get met with (usually on the morning we're leaving) "got the passports then, I got the car keys"
    Jo - sounds llike you had a good weekend
    polly and greenbee - I cannot believe the police do not take action on what are obviously cannabis farms
    lilme - I was at work well until 3 when I realised OH wasnt going to be home for DD coming in
    Solway - nice to see a familiar 'face' back and you still with Mr Messy, thats a surprise (pleasant one of course)
    rocketchimp - dont hang your head in shame, there's no need to you did 'something' thats a positive not a negative, be proud of what you have achieved
    emily - nice to see you back
    polly - your poor doogie - hope it isnt too nasty , or expensive
    rosepink - hope you have had an easy day, didnt sound like you had the best start
    Dusty - I think that new approach might work with me too, I vaguely remember someone setting challenges like that a while back, you know see how many tops of doors you can clean in 15 mins etc
    Pigpen - sorry you didnt sleep, you must be exhausted. What you need is a little dog. Mine always comes for a cuddle when OH is on nights, and always when I first wake up too. In fact she's perfect apart from not being able to make me a cuppa to bring up. Glad Hazel is improving poor little thing
    BlimusOreilly - hope you enjoyed your holiday
    fedupandskint - is it not too late to start talking, the fact that he has written is a big step for a bloke

    Right dont feel teary now so I am going to be completely strong (even standoffish - is that a word?) and going to go and do some flying in the kitchen

    See you all after work tomorrow
    xxxxx

    PS for any of you HR peeps, does anyone know whether the annual leave you had booked during your suspension period is added back onto your leave allocation that you still have to book. I say not but OH and his welfare guy who took him today say yes :confused: thx


    ETA - nice to see you posting vanilla, I missed you earllier but then my day has been a bit of a haze. Hope you, hubby and little ones all well

    FFP big vibes for your DS tomorrow bet he will be great.

    One grumpy Rhys now fast asleep on my knee thank goodness, but he likes to pretend so as soon as i put him down he'll waken.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Evening all

    All done for the day, going to soak my feet in a minute whilst sorting out a draw full of receipts.

    Triker - not seen you about for a few days, hope you are all ok

    Vanilla - hi, how old is that boy of yours now

    Summer
    - See if you can get a copy of Dr Phil Relationship Rescue from the library - good food for thought and in the meantime have a hug.

    Kaz - I'm glad things turned out well and hope life can settle back down now. When is OH due back?

    Toots - I so hope you are not overdoing it? Did you mention to your evening carer that the lunch one did not show?

    I got up to run DH a bath, and decided to quickly run the hoover round as I haven't done much today and also because I'd spilt some rice in the kitchen and didn't want it to get trodden in. So I was merrily hoovering and got to the kitchen and the hoover died! :mad: It's given up in protest when it saw how bad the floor is in there! I managed to get the rice up just beforehand, but really hope it comes back to life! It did that before, and I left it, and then DH pressed the on switch and it came on, so perhaps it just needs a rest :rolleyes:

    Sort out winter seedlings
    Earth up latest potatoes
    Clean a path to boiler for Thurs am
    Hang up clothes to sell
    Charity shop bag of stuff worthwhile for them to sell on

    Felt better for a while, now not so good, won't elicite any further at this stage. Thanks for all your kind thoughts, hugs and words, means a lot. Will pop back later to see what tomorrow's list is, at least the worst of the week's list is done now for me.
