    Evenin' all.

    Have now had a go at the kitchen, nowhere near level 3 but it is fit to use. I have eaten corned beef hash out of the freezer as OH has gone to the gyn after work and last time he did I cooked a meal and then he didn't want any. So tonight he can sort himself out with food.

    So I am now sat in front of the lappy with a :coffee:- its been a long day at work and I may have to go out later as DD2 may want me to pick her up later as she is at the fair.

    Hope all the poorlies have had a better day.
  • stars done to 185

    well done to the new flyers:T

    I have had SUCH a productive day, as very pleased with myself :D
    I cancelled my gym membership :j - and feel very liberated! That will save me £30 subs a month (to pay for DH's new iPhone contract of £35 per month :mad::mad::mad:) and £20 creche fees. Planning just to Wii Fit and exercise at home as well as exercise DVDs and the odd swim oh and of course walking to school and back each day (total 3 miles with a buggy :) )
    I got loads of lovely compliments about my new haircut - still no pics sorry - and posted some thankyous for DD2's birthday presents.
    Took DS swimming - DD1 lesson was cancelled as training pool too cold apparently, but DS is in main pool. Traffic was bad on the way, there had been an accident which looked quite bad, someone was lying on the pavement, the police were there but no paramedics had arrived. The children didnt notice thankfully. I know its all part of life but I hate them seeing things like that. The traffic was still bad an hour later after the lesson but I went a different way home so not sure what was going on. I hope the poor person is ok.

    Evening ladies, just popping in. I am alive and well but ridiculously busy at the moment and dont have time for anything:o

    Hope everyone is ok, hugs to those who need them.

    Hiya
    Sorry i've not read anything. Massive hugs to anyone who needs them. DS was discharged yesterday only to be readmitted 6 hours later. They don't know what the pain is....the good news is they say it's not life threatening. However, this means they're sending him to a pain clinic to cope with the pain as opposed to sorting out what it is. I'm so angry and feel i'm letting him down because I can't help him and he keeps suffering from these acute pain attacks for up to 6 hours. One nurse even suggested he's putting it on. If you could see him when he's in pain you'd know he's not putting it on.

    DH with him tonight whilst I see my daughter.

    Hugs to you all. Never thought i'd miss cleaning!!! xx
