    Morning Guys!

    Thanks for asking after me. Makes me feel loved:A

    I'm having a rough day so far TBH. Didnt sleep well. Nurse has been and BP & Sugars low again but INR high:confused:Had my jabs, so feeling a little fuzzy. I am doing nothing today!

    OH knocked on neighbours door at 3.30am as they keep letting their dog out in the middle of the night and he barks to go back in and they ignore him. He wasnt happy but was polite and firm! OH has known them for yrs, so dont think there will be a problem and they guy apologised.

    WM is on and DW has been on and unloaded. House clean and tidy. Toilet clean:p

    Anyway, I am going to go and rest as my body is hurting alot today.

    Have a great day.

    PP

    Morning all,

    Very quick one from me, as the 2nd lot of American relatives arrived last night :rolleyes: and we are off to meet them this morning, they want to drive around and see some countryside and have a pub lunch, its a hard life :D

    It was sad about MJ, he had a terrible childhood, but I did not like the man he had grown into, to take small children into your bed is NEVER right, I am sure he had many problems, but that is no excuse.

    Need to run the hoover through and empty the DW, and then we are off.

    Have good days all xx

    Hi all, hope you are all well. Yesterday was not a good day :( The marking is so slow it's getting me down and to top it all, OH's estranged wife appears out of the woodwork again. She's quit her job and this does not bode well for us now both OH and I are working. We've been working so hard to clear the debt he was left with and I can't take much more stress. Apparently she's also narked I haven't sent back my part of the divorce petition - which is hard given I haven't actually received it. Not that she'll have much luck serving me, as I'm never at home so I might write to her solicitor and ask to come and collect a copy to save the hassle. I considered writing before, but never did as I didn't want to create unnessacary costs for her by contacting her solicitor. This plus the ever complicated immigration issues have seen me buried in the law faculty library yesterday trying to make sense of it all. I guess I'm learning a lot :)

    To put it mildly, I will burn in hell before I sign it as it's full of lies. :o

    It did make Oh and I realise that we just need to get out of this place - he had a rough day at work yesterday too.

    Thanks also to the lovely people that sent me facebook messages yesteday - you are all wonderful.

    OS last night consisted of me starting to cook a bean casserole at 11.45 pm when I got in from work, realising in my shattered state "10 mins fast biol, 20 mins simmer" is a load of rubbish.... Still, after it's recommended cooking time, I bought it to a rapid boil then put a lid on it and left it off the heat on the stove. Was cooked this morning so I have it for lunch :D I love cast iron pans :) I did set the washing machin off when I left fopr work this morning.

    Redruby, I agree - it is sad because noone deserves to die at 50, there is no doubt he was a talented musician, but I also find it hard to see past his behaviour. I felt much more sadness at the parting of Farrah Fawcett, she was one brave lady, rest her soul. Enjoy showing off the UK to your American visitors :D

    Pink - :rotfl::rotfl:I don't think he'll be pulling that one again
    Ruth - thinking of you and yours
    Tiredmum - hugs for you
    MSD - hope your tooth calms down
    crazychik - good luck at the dentist

    Sorry about the spelling - I've been pipetting cells for two hours and my fingers have seized up :) I'm typing with one finger like my dad does (minus the cursing) :)

    I get to collect my thesis from the binders today and submit it to the library, so at 3.30 pm, I am oficially free of it forever :)

    have a good day, cel x

    Morning all :hello:

    Not a brilliant morning here. :rolleyes: On the way back from the school run, a wall which I drive past every day jumped up and hit my car. :confused: Fair bit of damage and I have a significantly bruised ego. :o Insurance company were a dream to deal with though so am waiting for the garage to phone and arrange to collect the car. Luckily it is OH's car we are taking on holiday. Talking of OH..... He now has enough ammunition to tease me with for the rest of our married lives. :rolleyes:
    MIL coming later.... my cup just runneth over. :rolleyes:

    OS wise, I still haven't put the laundry away and I have no tea to make tonight as we're out for a meal (MIL's treat). Have fed the birdies, emptied the bins and made the beds. Need to tidy the house, clean the bathroom and pack a bag for the girls who are going to their grandparents for the weekend. OH has promised to show me a good time on his boat. :cool: Apparently we are going out to lay lobster pots in the bay. ;) If he continues to tease me I may just be forced to push him overboard. :D

    Wasn't a fan of MJ and never really could get past the allegations made against him by young boys or the pay offs that ensued but I am fascinated by the news response to his death. :o

    Thinking of those with troubles today, especially tired mum and Celyn.
    Welcome back Joannasmum. :hello:

    Hope everyone's day has started better than mine. ;)

    Haribo x

    Ah that's pants Haribo, hope you're okay.

    I've had the same with a tree that just appeared in the middle of the road. Stupid place to put a tree. :D My ex used to tease me for that until I told him not to argue with a woman who could sucessfully smack two tonnes of steel into a useless stationary object. :D

    Enjoy your lobsters :D

    Morning chums .I am hoping for some rain now my grass is nice and short as its also very brown and dry.I never water grass as I think its a waste of both my time and resourses. College this afternoon all about St petersburg so I'm looking forward to that .I'm going to pop into Mr T see if there is any cheap chooks left and fill my DDs freezer with them.Her family seem to live on chicken so it will help her out no end.
    Yes very sad about MJ, not a particular fan, but my children grew up listening to his music.Sad for his children as well, they are not that old.
    Well time to get a wriggle on Have a good week-end whatever you do. I am off to the Armed Forces day at Chatham Dockyard tomorrow and then out to dinner in the evening at my sis-in-laws in Faversham.She said there is a medieval fair on there on Sunday so I shall stay and look at that.I have to be home mid afternoon as my DGD is going on holiday with her Dad to the Dominican Republic and I want to see her before she goes
    Cheers JackieO xx

    morning all.

    yet another migraine last night:confused: when will it get sorted?
    very sad news about MJ, he had issues and it was sad that he never had a childhood and what that subsequently did to his life and mental state. If you look into his song "childhood" the lyrics do tell a lot about him.
    That aside he was a musical genius and a great talent who had a real effect and influence on many modern artists. I am just wondering what has lead to the cardiac arrest? Am watching CNN, they are going a bit overboard with the coverage.
    Have been informed by DS that he wants choclate buns made today.
    am making chicken curry tonight for tea.
    Must put a loaf in today too.
    Bitsy is your DS autistic too? The echolalia can send you insane:rolleyes:. Not sure what is causing the migraines, am keeping a migraine diary to try to make sense of it
    HJ hope you are ok, you seem to be having one of those weeks:o

    hugs to all who need them....esp tiredMum


    RIP michael Jackson

    Morning all.

    I'm earlier than usual today, as Mr LW is w*rking from home. This was a complete surprise, and has mucked my plans up considerably. Apparently, the air conditioning in the server room has packed up, so they've all been asked to wfh as that way they log in via the Manchester servers - the ones in Letchworth (where his office is) will be offline til the aircon is sorted.

    So he wants his main meal at 12:00; cue one very harrassed Wolf scratting about to wallop some egg mayonnaise and salad stuff together AND bake an apple pie for afters - not hard for most of you, but doing a pie takes me quite a while, as I have to rest between the various stages. Had all been according to plan, we'd have been eating our main meal this evening. All this with Mr LW wanting cups of tea every 5 mins.

    Washing is outside, but I have to be ready to [STRIKE]run[/STRIKE] hobble out there at a moment's notice if it starts to rain.

    Hope everyone's having a good day/better day than yesterday.
    ((((HUGS)))) to those who need/want them, especially Tiredmum, MSD, Celyn and Pen-Pin. I would've added HJ to the list, but I know she doesn't do hugs.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
