    I have bought the last few bits I need for Reading and went to the cinema! Just need to pack everything now! Also ordered my tax disc as I'm not back til the 31st, and topped up my phone.

    Eltee - welcome

    serena - welcome back; so sorry about your news. I understand that not knowing how you feel feeling. Thoughts and prayers for all of you - hugs xx

    Ellen - hugs

    jinky - it's not pathetic; long distance relationships are difficult

    ajmoney - welcome

    Triker - I didn't realise you were from the south!

    elly2 - huge hugs; you are dealing with an awful lot there. I don't really know what to say though others on here have wise words. I'm not surprised you threw her out - you have no need to feel ashamed as you need to be exceptionally strong to do that. Can Social Services not do anything bearing in mind she is abusive to your little ones?

    kazw - wow! it looks fantastic! If you want a new project, there's my garden ............. it's only little!!

    Monday - All Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hugs to all who need them!! I've only scanned back a couple of pages due to a lack of time.

    Elly - Big hugs and congratulations on being so strong and standing by your DD. I work with challenging youngsters and have an autistic child. So I have a small insight to the horrors that you must be dealing with. I hope things begin to improve for your family very soon.

    Kaz - Your garden is amazing. I wouldn't dare post a photo of mine on here lol Well done!!

    I'm off to face the ironing mountain now. I am finding housework so much more pleasurable since the departure of my ex. However the computer is his and it's moving out very soon. Even DS's laptop is on the blink. I can't even begin to contemplate life without the internet but i'm sure my house can only look even tidier so thank goodness for that!!

    I feel sorry for your mum hun even my mild ones can be horrible! Does she have a trigger?

    I never had migraines till I had an op to remove my gall bladder and then I suffered a massive one whilst recovering in hospital! I have never been so frightened! I lost total control over my body and couldn't tell anyone what was a matter even though I tried (It was embarassing as I was sat on a commode at the time and had no warning! Luckily I had just buzzed to come off it so was found straight away!) I can only imagine what someone who has had a stroke must feel like!!! Since then I have been on so many medicines and been to a neurologist but nothing seems to work. I thought things were looking up though cos I have had nothing for months. I am pleased that the worst I get now is sicky feeling and like my head will explode.
    I just think the STRESS of arguing with my hubby yesterday has done it! :(Nope I think its the weather too, cos we have just started to have a mega downpour!!!!! Probably gonna have a storm its black! I hope we do cos it may get rid of it if thats the cause!!!!

    Everything and anything triggers them.. eating, not eating, food additives, processed food, stress, lacl of sleep, alcohol, caffeine..

    She usually has 5-6 a month.. on starts as another is ending so they overlap. 3 of my sisters get them and my oldest son and I've been getting them the last 2 years probably stress induced.

    Well done Kaz that garden looks lovely...

    DS's room is DONE full dusting of everything including lightshade and all DVDs checked...have given him a good start in Kim and Aggie style so he can keep it like that.
    He came home (in the pouring rain) with someone else's keys - one of his mates had put his keys in the wring trousers (they will have had shorts underneath as they were platying football so we get a phone call from this lads mum and can DS take the keys round theirs? - erm not DS's fault they were in the wrong trousers but DS took the call and said he would take the keys! Anyway went on the way to Morrisons as DS wanted toasties and I had no cheese or ham. He got very shouty because he was hungry (has never been able to cope with being hungry I put it down to BF on demand LOL) but we went, picked up essential supplies and he's munching away as I type.

    So please my I have my childrens' room star early?:D:D:D:cool::cool::cool::cool:

    (My eyes and nose are VERY itchy so that'll be an allergic reaction:rolleyes: probably to the dust LOL:o;))
