    Afternoon everyone. I feeling a bit better today but still taking echinacea. Music from next door still went on last night. Managed to get to sleep though then woken up at 6am by someone stamping up the stairs next door. Noticed this morning that the son has his hand all bandaged up and in a sling. Noticed their shed window is broken so guess he put his hand through it. I quite fancy making some hobnobs. Will get some flour etc when out with DD.

    Dailies done
    recycling out.
    Shredding done.
    Cat dishes washed.

    Hi Everyone

    Rose - I am fine after the explosion i cleaned up again but i may think twice before doing that again !!

    My dh never tells me he loves me. He has told me four times in 15 years
    1st on our wedding day
    2nd when we split up for 6 months (i didn't think he cared)
    3rd the day we found out i was pregnant
    4th the day our ds was born.

    He says if you hear it all the time it does not mean as much which i agree but i have stopped trying to change him. I know he loves me but i am older and wiser now to let it worry me any more.

    I am going to Norfolk next weekend to drop off mum in law if the job centre will let me sign on in the morning. What do you think my chances are of this?

    Toots glad to see you have been out even if it was just shopping.

    Jo your crumble made my mouth water too.

    PigPen sounds like your very happy now all your brood are back under your watchful eye. You sound like a fantastic mum hugs sweety xx

    I had a fab time bowling yesterday. There were 10 of us went 9 of us bowled cost 9.00 thanks Hotdeals :D

    We took mums bench over to her house last night and ds announced he was stopping and sleeping with nannan. He has attempted to stay a couple of times and we have always had to fetch him home. Not last night. Mum said he was as good as gold and when we got there this morning he was sat painting.
    It felt really weird without him in the house. It was only the second time in 4 years that he has stayed out.

    Ok off to bake some smarties cookies with ds wonder how much help he will be this time??

    Hugs everyone

    orkneyStar hope the pc is ok
    PC is working better, however I lost all the holiday pics I downloaded yesterday :mad::mad: and when I tried to download them again from the SD card they all dissappeared (I had not deleted them from the SD card until I knew they were on PC ok, as normal, but something went wrong with PC and card this time!).
    Don't have a crying emoticon.....I need one though!
    Perfect end to the holiday from hell- losing all the pics and 95% of the videos :(:(.
    Still, I must not grumble. We are all ok and there are hundreds of people with much more to worry about than my less than ideal holiday and lost pics!

    Tell them you have a dr appointment or something and that was the only time you could get. I think sometimes it depends who you talk to in the job centre and what side of bed they got out of! Sorry honey I'm not much help.
