Laundry folded in basket now, just to put it away in about 10 mins when I wake my lovely wee DS from his nap .
Kinda killing time MSE surfing, looking for Killers videos and looking at pictures of buses like my dad used to drive (anyone from Lanarkshire/Ayrshire/Glasgow might remember some of these!). For those who don't know, OS loves buses (yes sad I know but hey!).

Well in my HHC all I did was attempt to tidy the LR floor - it was clear on Sunday:mad: - but I aren't even half way there - however it did involve picking up 4 jigsaws which were on the floor at the side of the settee where they couldn't be seen and sorting them into there relevant packs.

I suppose I'd better carry on with it!

Hmmm, I am not sure the buses down there are any newer than some of the ones in the pics on that site lol.
We ended up driving mostly when at Mums because some of the buses looked like they would fall apart if they went over a bump :eek::eek:.
I love buses but hate to see them all patched up and damaged :mad:.
Anyway better put laundry away (flying!!! ), will be back to look at more buses....I love this one.
:wave:
ETA feefee, I don't think we have really met on here, but my thoughts are with you, and your partner. It must be so hard for you, and please rant as required!
Also, to anyone else needing one, here is a nice big hug :grouphug:.
:wave:

Hey lovelies... have been catching up after the hen weekend... what a drama! Had 11 girls all sleeping over, and none offered to help me clean up, they just left mess and all. So I've taken about 2 binbags full of decoarations and rubbish out so far, and so much more to do!

Welcome to all the newbies... you're gonna love it here!

Sunnygirl - Glad you had un in Wales, I've never been to the north and would love to go. Where did you get to?
Dolly - your poor knee! I hate decorating so much, how's it all going?
Elly - I must have missed what was going on! Hope everything's more settled for you now... they do settle eventually, I should know, I was an awful child for my parents!
Bonsi - love your little bribery technique! Hope you get everything sorted for school!
Rosepink - It started spitting over this way, thought it was meant to rain yday, but it's been lovely so far. I'm hoping we get a late summer!
catznine - congrats on the stars, I find having family coming over so stressful, but I get things done!
Blimus - elderberry icecream????? Sounds divine! What's the recipe if you don't mind me asking?
poohbear - hope your elbow is ok after the injection... rest up!
Natty - sorry to hear about the kitty cat. It's awful when you know they're in pain and hey can't tell you where. Good on you for trying to make him comfortable, I really admire people who try and try until there's nothing they can do. You never know, they might be able to find something that's causing the problems. All the best lovely.
feefee - So sorry to hear what's happened. My OH rides too and I worry sick when he goes out without me. I really hope the driver is charged and goes down for what he did.. I'm sure the girls on here will support you if needed. And if you need any help with cleaning and decluttering feel free to give me a PM.
TAG - have you heard any more about the glass clips? I would say that if the issue isn't resolved then you want a reduction in rent or you'll search for elsewhere to live. Just mention that you're paying rent on a room you can't use and I'm sure if you threaten with moving they'll pull the finger out.

That's all I can catch up with for now, hugs to anyone I've missed!

Fee, as bikers ourselves, you have my heartfelt sympathy for what has happened to your family.

Recently a friend of ours suffered serious head injuries in an accident whilst we were all on a ride out. His recovery is slow but he has suffered extensive brain damage but there is progress although very slow. I sincerely hope that you, your hubby and your baby can get through this and that there is some hope for your husband.

Please remember we are all here for you whather you want to laugh, cry, scream or shout, sometimes just being able to offload even on an internet site helps to alleviate just a little of the pressure you must be feeling.

Would NABD be of any use to you, for advice and support and maybe some legal info?

Ask away re any issues be them with your baby, life, you, anything and we will endeavour to help and support you hun. xx

Re the drunk driver, I have no words, not least that can be published here.:mad:
