    Lady L massive big hugs to you and your family, your in my thoughts and prayers.xx

    Toots Rhys is huge, he's turned into a really big boy.:rotfl:He loves his grub. Hubby is really well, he's been of his meds since August and his nurse was out today so things are going well. Thank you for asking. How are you?

    I have stripped the chicken and will have it with pasta tomorrow, so that will cover another few meals.:j

    Builders been out tonight and is talking about putting up plasterboard in our room so that should be started next month, did forget to ask him how much.:o

    DD went swimming today and loved it she only need help getting into and out of the pool, she relied the whole time on lip reading so i'm so proud of her and she's over the moon.:D

    Right best get myself to bed before i fall asleep on this laptop, nite nite.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    I've decluttered a sandwich and am now lying back down in bed because I feel a bit crapola again.


    You'd think a certain friend would have been round by now with cakes and pressies or kittens to stroke or summat....and she only lives a few streets away...:confused::whistle::think::A

    NO.. I refuse to go now.. see what you've done.. I will not I shall not and noone can make me.. I WOULD have... had you not harped on like a bowl of harp-pee.

    And why would I come visit without an invite.. I am not RUDE unlike some people.. AND.. YOU said you would ring me LAST WEEK once you had your house free of underage people so don't you go trying to make me look bad... If you want a visit I can fit you in Thursday.. :p:p:p

    Not bad for me. Happy tired kids by the end of the day, and as DH wasn't in till 9pm i am not too bothered by what didn't happen. I think i will only keep hoover up and water plants on the list for tomorrow as it will all be back again by next week.

    I also put out the glass/tin/paper/plastic recycling. I was wanting to tackle some ironing but i couldn't be bothered, and i need to hang up my washing but i'll do that before bed in a minute.

    lady l big hugs my lovc. In my thoughts and prayers.

    quillion well done on the job interview and i hope it is good news.

    thifty bad luck with O. On the bright side, early in term so kids have still got that new term enthusiasm, and you hopefully aren't too exhausted yet. Best of luck.

    Thanks for all my lovely warm welcomes back into the fold. Baby steps and i will be back with you all.

    Evening

    Have managed a quick catch up (some comments made at lunchtime!) and done a little so

    Thanks to Piggers, toots and soappie

    MSD Good to see you back and that the cat is still being fed. Thanks for the update on Tristan.

    Lou 1981 Welcome back

    Bitsy Beans I’m like that (when I do find time to fly) – burn myself out by midweek but at least by changing the rooms round diff ones get done

    Ladylib Good luck for this afternoon

    Talking of which wonder how Quillion is getting on ETA Glad it went well, fingers crossed for you

    Blimus Sorry cant help with the prob just wanted to give you a hug as I know how you feel, although mine is in advance. My DS is 18 next July and his maintenance and CHB will stop and I will be £400 down . ETA Fingers crossed for you and hope you don’t have to change jobs, although started retraining at 38 including a 12 week residential course while I had a 3 year old at home!

    FFP I could only see half of them

    AnW’s mum We just had a letter from our supplier telling us to up payment from £83 to £109 per month when we have been in credit for over a year. We re-read the meters and submitted on line and then rang them, they’ve brought our payment down to £82 per month now !!!

    Rosepink Well done on the walk

    Triker You’re probably feeling crapola because of all the nagging you are doing. I’ve got a breville pie maker (the one that makes 2 at a time) but I have yet to get a pie out in one piece. It got relegated to the attic and then revived a while back but its gone AWOL again due to the problems. Any tips would be good

    Toots Hope the tube problem gets sorted

    Embb Missed what was going on with littley but glad it sounds sorted

    Hex2 Thanks for your post and I’ve taken it on board. Hugs to you

    Boddy Hope all is well with you and yours

    Greenbee Hope the ipods salvageable

    Vanilla - glad DH has improved and that Rhys is doing well

    michelle - dont over do it

    LadyLibs I am gutted for you and your loved ones. I hope you can get a second opinion that will enable to you to keep fighting. I am sure I speak for all of when I say we will keep fighting for you and if we can find a way we will. Massive hugs to you all

    Hi everyone, busy day so a quick pop in before I shower.

    Lady Liberty you know we're all behind you honey, I really don't know what else to say apart from we're thinking of you and your family x x

    I've flew in the old house a bit this morning, hall/stairs/LR done there so earned a star :jplease. Done hall, stairs and what I can in the LR here around the boxes :D so a double earned star :D Cleaned the old hob down too, scrubbed all the gas burners etc. Filled the car & brought it here. Emptied 3 boxes/bags. Done 3 washer loads, helped DP fix my tumble drier :j same thermostat tripping out, so pleased we found that fix online as it's done it about 10 times now in 2 years. Bother just remembered there is a few things on the line, only got out nice this afternoon, oh well they can wait.

    I can't remember what we have on tomorrow, will check calendar when I go for shower, hope you are all ok. ((hugs)) to all who need/want one.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lady Liberty if I could move a mountain to make you better I'd give it my best shot. The whole thing is just so bl@@dy unfair. Thinking of you sweetie and your DH and children, with much love Dusty xx
