    Any posts that take up your rightful place at post 3 will be moved onto this thread, so there :p

    Unless I've made them using the alter ego and it says 'grabbed for Toots' or something like that :p

    Dusty - we're compiling a diary of late-night disturbance from the pub, then will write to the Local Authority planners :D

    It's not planning you want, it's Environment initially. Then Licensing. The plans have already been granted. As far as I am aware, unless they are actually contravening the planning permission, there's nothing Planning can do.

    I'm in heaven tonight. Dinner has been achieved earlyish for me. There was an early two hour Catherine Cookson on some cable channel and now there's the first ever Jonathon Creek on another.

    I will be tucking up to watch and do the dishes during the adverts.

    Sorry I haven't been around this week, I had a major case of CBA due to the horrible heat. So my house and everything else suffered. I am going back on the wagon this week and hopefully getting my house back to some normality - tidy and uncluttered.

    Hugs to everyone and belated "Happy Birthday" to those that have had birthdays.

  • Have ground to a halt now - did not do planting or sorting - have been trawling the internet - basically wasting time.... ho hum

    Will water the garden in a minute - Dad gave me a metal watering can as my old plastic one either blew away or was nicked as I cannot find it anywhere - watering with a mop bucket is not good.

    Still please with what I have acheived this weekend..... off to get some raspberries and channel island cream - yum

    And all those lovely replies are the reason i love you all so much.

    Thank you so much for all your kind words.

    My friend and i have been friends for 15 years. She is my Gym buddy my shopping buddy i have seen her through the ups and downs and i will continue to do so. When i am with her i am strong as she needs me to be and she is only this bad cause her meds are not yet established.

    Her husband is the most fantastic person i have ever met. He puts up with so much as even when she is ok she is high maintenance. He goes every day but only for an hour as it wears him out and he has asked me to go just once or twice per week. I spoke to the staff and they said i am doing all the right things she has someone with her at all times so they hear me talking to her.

    When i am upset or thinking i find it easier to write things down it helps to get them out of my head and stops me fretting.

    I am worried about her this is the worst i have seen her and her husband agrees. It was just freaky how quick it happened as Sunday night she was fine and Monday morning it ws like someone pulled a switch.

    Once again Thanks Guys
    Love and Hugs to you all i really appreciate you all xxx
