    I'll be in again, though I will probably use my own list.

    DD1 back from China and DD2 back from her hen weekend so I can relax now ;) Going to have a bath and bed to read my book. See you all next week.

    Huge waves I'm from Newmains originally! Do you know any Meharry's in cleland???????????

    Jinky I heard that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Off to get my listQUOTE]


    Don't know any Meharrys! Live here but am actually from Chapelhall (almost as embarrassing as Cleland)!

    Well in the process of doing the oven, but can't find my darned gloves! Didn't think it was that bad til I shone a torch in it :eek:

    Had to put mattress protector on another quick wash as the stupid washing tab ended up stuck in the rim and wasn't hardly even touched, oh well needs must!

    Signing off now to go and finish oven and clean racks etc. Nite all x

    Thanks for the suggestion Rose, unfortunately we've only got an old one in the loft that sounds like its about to take off and the wire cover is broken. Wouldn't like to risk DD2 putting her fingers near the rotary bit. We're a bit skint until Thursday as well otherwise we'd buy one...all the bedrooms get really warm but hers is definately the worst. I did go in and wipe her down with a cold, wet facecloth and that seems to have helped and she seems to be quiet. Hopefully the piriton we've given her for the rash will knock her out for the night.

    Right typing again as lost mine on MSE as it logged me out – be warned it’s a long post!
    Done sweet apart from s/s and wm and dw.
    Now to the main bit – sorry my lovelies, but have to get it off my chest. Here goes
    BIL txtd yest afternoon to see if calling a pub, we normally do as they spend their life in there and only way we get to see nephew – he’s only 18 months old.. All going well till village lad comes in who’s been in Afghan (remember DS is in army and so was DH for 12 years), Well the lad is much quieter and SIL said as much, so I said well of course he is he’ he’s seen and done stuff that no boy should see, just like DH did. She said in front of DH that basically because it was the first Iraq war that he should be ‘over it’ and can’t possibly relate to anything that’s going on now!!!! DH walked out and went missing for a while as he was on the moors crying. He has done and witnessed stuff that no human being should ever have to even if they joined the army, for god’s sake why would WW2 vets still be having a hard time if years should put things to rest? Anyway, I got him to my sisters and later at home he told me his worst thing he had to do – believe me you don’t want to know. He’d told me the rest of it before, which he’d never managed with his ex or family. Today I txtd BIL saying DH upset and he said he ‘has to man up’!!!!!
    If it wasn’t for me they still wouldn’t be speaking they didn’t for 3 years, before I knew them, I pushed and pushed cos to me family is v important.

    Sorry ladies – but I am disgusted
    Hope everyone well, haven’t caught up as you’ve all been gassing. Love and hugs to all xx
    Sorry for all the spelling mistakes!!!
