Too true MOB. Now have tea. Had horrid week, car prang today, (minor everyone okay) but annoyed.

Well done DC - although tea is truly the devil's drink.

Car prangs are so :mad: . Glad everyone is ok, but I expect you are also feeling shaken.

Deep breaths.

Hi Guys,

Hope you are all ok and looking forward to the weekend. I have not had a bad week Been to the gym 3 times so far and intend to visit over the weekend too. Also Mr BB seems better too, he is seeing the therapist I told you about. Strange thing is I have used her before and a friend has also. But she is treating my DH for nothing as she says he is very evolved and on a spiritual pathway, this is why he has been so ill as he doesn't understand this. She feels he has much potential as a reiki healer and because of this she is duty bound to help? Karma? (I have said he will do some jobs for her in return as payment). I have never heard of anyone treating someone for nothing before though I am Confused.com.

So Dear YM I am on 6 af days so far mate, hope you are ok and sending you a very big Budgie hug (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good to see you back: 69 Chick, Fluffy, Wbf, Stroppy and GG yes Lucie was brilliant :T Oh I can't wait for bootcamp :j (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Darling Jo I have read with interest the post on the dream you had which involved the Medium and seeing your Dear Father. I am interested in Dreams and their meanings? There is much that we do not know about and also things that are strange and uncanny. Whether it was just a dream or not? The outcome remains the same that your father would want you to know that he is so very worried about you and that he would be here to help you in your time of need if he could. So listen to the dream and in return this will help you on your journey to be af. I am sure that your father is watching over you always from wherever he is? :A

Btw I have seen tarot readers etc in the past, I can't really say that I have found one to be particularly good, though I did see a lady at an MBS fair in Wales and she told me with certainty that "Spirit says I should be doing counselling"? She also picked up some details of my childhood etc. I did see a local one last year, I mean I was sooooo dissappointed I waited 6 months for an appointment, (had to take a days holiday to go). Went for my reading, I felt she asked too many questions though she did say my DS would be headhunted 3 times and rise quickly in the company he is in. Number 1 headhunt has come true and he has been promoted very early Time will tell?

I have come to the conclusion that very few are genuine, that many people who visit need answers or are having problems. Are mediums just counsellors with a set of tarot cards? Though in fairness having said that, if it gives comfort to anyone that needs it, then that in itself is a good thing. For me I take it with a pinch of salt, do you remember the one I saw sometime ago who told me I should sell up and move to Scotland, just up an go. Look what happened when I went there for the first time :eek:

So I guess what I am trying to say is that we all have our own paths to find? Its knowing the right one to take thats the problem?

Hugs Angel and I am so pleased that your dream has given you some comfort. That in itself is very positive. So wonderful you, lots of love and have a fabby weekend :A (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bhb on that note matey I mean how spooky is your tale? It proves that there are many things that are beyond our understanding. I remember watching sometime ago a football match with Manchester United they were going to lose but then ................... they scored in the 90th minute which was on the very day that it would have been Sir Matt Busby's 90th birthday :eek: Go figure ;) so big hugs matey and here's to a parrot free weekend. (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gosh I have been rambling and I must dash, but hugs to: Dear Lurky and the lovely Esther, Winey, waves to Fay, GC, FH, MP, Eselt, HB, RA,Miss P, 40sm, Mob, DM, CP, SAS, SSA, Ttgu, Geranium, Marru, Gien, Nessa, 115k well done on 4 af days :T (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maman hope your holiday is going fab :j xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Fedup just wanted to say well done on your weightloss :j and for also knocking the socks off your debt too. :T (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dc so very sorry to hear of your accident hun, I hope you will be ok? It is such an awful thing to happen, poor Fedup went through the mill terribly earlier this year. So big hugs and lots of love (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pricey hope you have enjoyed your first week, make sure Mr P brings you brekkie in bed and does the hoovering as well :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Hugs hunny (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok lots of you still to mention but I was only flying in for 5 minutes :eek: So must dash. Thinking of you all and sending you all lots of love n hugs (()) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Budgie, I still feel bad about your Scottish experience on behalf of my fellow countrymen and women! Hope you'll venture back north of the border one day!

Mulligan last night - well not sure if it really was as only had half bottle of wine but my god I paid the price today. Killer headache, sickiness, dehydration all day long. Was it worth it for a few glasses of mediocre house red? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Going to wake up early tomorrow feeling sparkly new and really try and learn from this experience and this yucky horrible day.

Roll on the weekend...
