    I got them from here Yankeedoodle.co.uk, they are really efficient and normally deliver within 24 hours of ordering. I have been using them for ages and have had no problems :)

    Oh no! Been on there too now!!!

    OK I'm in after my weekend away. Thanks for your nice comment last week, RosePink! We had a great time but spent far too much money, all told!

    I ddn't get the house immaculate before i went away, and my daughter came with dad to feed the cats. However she didn't listen to my advice about cleaning up after cat wee accidents - I told her to use the mop and bucket, and finish off with my vinegar spray. She used dirty tea towels to clean the wee up and then dumped the cloths in the bath! needless to say the bathroom stank when i got home and I had to promptly run towels through on a boil wash. How embarrassing.

    Then to cap it all, my dad brought mum round on sunday and fed them - totally unnecessary, and makes me think they were nosing around. We got back Sunday evening you see and they knew that.

    Oh well, back to normal now. I have to get on top of this clutter and back into the swing of flying!

    Morning all...

    Off in an hour for my first driving lesson in about 6/8 weeks (due to illness/instructors holidays/problems with the car) .... feel soooo sick! Its like starting again... Hope my anxiety doesnt get the better of me..... I love driving but waiting for my instructor knocks me sick with nerves :o and i find if i dont do a lesson every week my confidence takes a knock so this break has really worried me! Specially as ive done none the theory in that whole time so he will be disapointed in me! :o:(

    Quillion - Can i be rrrrrrrrrreally cheeky and ask you to email me the CV clinic stuff? I have been looking for 5 months and cant even get a basic admin/shop/cleaning work job never even had a refusal letter so no idea where im going wrong. I suspect its my large amount of temp work (not through agency) followed by maternity leave, followed by my present "avon rep"/SAHM status. :(


    ((hugs to all those need them))

    witchwoopiggy - I delete things from my list, but if you'd like to cross them off, then click advanced reply, highlight the text to be crossed out, then click on the S with a line through it. You can delete any items that don't applyu to you - eg, clean out pets if you don't have any, and if you want you can substitute something in its place. Extras are just that. You need to do all the three levels to get a star. I bet if you delete/cross out, you'll find that you have very little left to do!

    I see thank you so much serena :A
    right try again :D

    And you have dispensation to post and not fly too... I hope Pigpen is checking up and making sure you're not overdoing things! How are you feeling/

    Ta Greenbee, better in how I feel, no real progress on actual physical movement. Can get up and downstairs maybe once or twice a day, thats my big achievement.

    Lost a stone in weight in 2 weeks which isn't such a good thing. Luckily I have enough excess to cope.;)

    On a regime of various vitamins and stuff to combat things.

    On AllicinMax, echinacea, Siberian Ginseng, CoQ10, multibiotica and Aloe Vera juice.

    Given that I don't (read can't) drink alcohol, have given up coffee, am eating fruit and live yoghurt in copious amounts and sleeping like I've never slept before I should be like this hyper.gif..............but I'm like this HSpamper.gif .

    Lady Liberty I hope you feel better hun, I know you're really going through it at the mo.HScathugs1.gifxxxx


    Toots hope your infection heals soon HSsunflowers_29072.gif for you too. xxxx


    Piggers I know you don't do hugs so here's a dancing banana funky%20banana.gifxxx
