    my last text - (slightly more direct)
    So did Mike tell you to get in touch? Saw Karen today and your name came up, unsurprisingly. I didn't take your number last weekend to leave the ball in your court but i was wishing i had. I'm glad you got in touch.


    Too direct??? no reply so far....

    i have a child free night tomorrow as Erin is staying at Big G's.... how do i accelerate this into seeing him tomorrow, harvest permitting (hope for rain everyone!!), otherwise who knows when i might get the chance....


    Him- always was going to get in touch.just hadn't got round to it......


    (!!!!!!! charming thinks me!)


    Me - So what's the weather forecast for the next few days? I'm childfree tomorrow night (rare occurance) if you fancied doing something.... Weather permitting of course, i know you could be working....










    god help me, i need a drink!!!!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    this year I have bought for DS - two uniform sweatshirts, one pair black trousers (mum bought another pair and he has two that will fit for a couple of months), three polo shirts (has some in that size but some are smaller). He got new shoes in June but I did have to buy a bag and a lunch bag as those were done. there are folks I work with who do all new each year but it's uniform - it's not like he'd even choose to wear it...

  • Hi everyone,
    hope you don't mind if I join in, I've not been around for a while, I used to be on here for the chat at weekends etc. My husbands gone out tonight and I don't like being alone. Well it's not that I don't like being alone it's just that where we live is quite close to a pub and I don't like hearing the noise of people chatting etc because I get scared when it's dark. (It's daft because I am such a confident person normally!)
    I've read teh last few pages so have a good idea of whats going on. And I feel rude not saying I'm here because it's like snooping!
    So I popped in to say hi, as I knew there would be people on here who were still up and friendly.

    Let me know Spudly, I am always amazed as well that mine doesnt do the royal blue when it's a local school, and they dont do the light blue shirts either (don't, I know, light blue and royal blue, CACK)

    I will hun. Ta for letting me know :D

    Our primary school uniform is black and gold. They all look like little bumble bees. High school is navy blazer and trousers/skirt with white shirt. They're VERY strict with the uniform code too.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
