Good afternoon folks,


Happy Birthday !! carlsberggal:bdaycake:
Glad you are okay hollyh
fedupandskint We have an old dog too. She became incontinent and peed on living room carpet every night. Out of desperation we put her bed in the kitchen when we went to bed (about 6 months ago) and she hasn't done it since!! Very contrary old lady.
Please let me know how bereavemnet counselling goes. My homeopath recommended that I should go three years ago and my father has passed away since and I still haven't been. I am worried it will make me worse.


I have spent an hour in the garden and have just come back inside to try to tac
kle my bathrooms. I now have cupboards for all the 'boys' things. They seem to have more bathroom paraphenalia than DD. They all have basins in their bedrooms so don't really need to overflow into bathrooms. Now all I need to train them to do is to rinse the showers after use.

Bit pee'd off when a work colleague walked in today and said 'ooh lovely flowers, from a happy vendor?' - eerrrr no they are for my bday!! She stammered a bit and said she would buy cake, I shouldn't take things to heart me thinks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! hope it's a good'un!!! The story made me laugh! Don't take things to heart..just think, she might buy you something better now that she feels guilty for forgetting!!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

The funniest thing just happened:rolleyes: i was sitting crossed legged on my computer chair ( which is actually a dining chair) and i dunked a biscuit in my coffee. The end of it fell straight in between my legs. I didn't want to move as i'd get biscuit all over my jeans that i'd just put on. I looked around for something to clean it up with and i noticed some face wipes on my bedside table. I leaned back to reach them and fell off the chair:o. I somehow managed not to get biscuit on me though:j:rolleyes:.

Now I try not to laugh at other people's misfortune, but Ive had to make an exception here!!! Ohhhhhhh i laugheeeeddddd:rotfl::rotfl:
(glad you're okay though!!!)

Just made dinner (we eat early as OH works tonight) so i have to do the kitchen AGAIN! it never ends.....:rolleyes:

back laters...

All in all, not a bad 1st week so far. I'm certainly more motivated and getting much more done than usual. Daft question, but is it ok to do some tasks from level 2 or 3 even if level 1 is not completed?


Thanks again guys, Chox x
