thifty hope you enjoyed your child free day!!
JillD ask at the chemist - they should be able to help with that and it will save a doc appointment - like Dusty suggested the new skin stuff or what about wearing latex gloves as much as possible to keep it clean and then take them off when you are not doing 'dirty' work - would that work?
holly well done on your weight loss too
MrsChaos be realistic with your lists otherwise you will get demoralised if you have too many things on it and dont cross them off. maybe you should just concentrate on the list for each day - if you dont finish it or dont have time then move on to the next one and dont play catch up unless you really really have the time and the energy - would that work for you? you can always go back and do extra bits if you have time at the weekend
MadMayFly how is the decluttering going - what progress have you made - you sound like you are doing AnW'sMum's dot2dot approach - clear, clean and keep a bit clean and then move on - she has done wonders in her house - you will feel so much better when you have decluttered too.
Sunnygirl hugs for you all and hope the swine flu passes quickly - well done to DD - you have every right to be proud. xx
Aunty I am pleased you are managing to do some studying at least - even if its not as much as you would like - but every little bit will help releave the pressure too- I am sure you dont have an anti-social bone in your whole body (((hugs)))
dreamywings - thats good news about the HB - dont go mad and spend it all!!!
embb :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: get your head out of the oven honey- thats a bit drastic - the mess cant be that bad :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
fedup (((hugs))) and well done with the ebaying
Wilf you are amazing - I wish I had half your energy:T:T
smartie (((hugs))) for you too for feeling down - how you feel brighter soon - if it helps feel free to rant on here. we will give you our support and probably some of the best and worst suggestions you have ever heard!!!!:rolleyes::rotfl:
Eltee hope your cold doesnt last long and you both get back on your feet quickly
Milliejo get well soon vibes for your DS
louboutingirl its a lovely feeling to see the hard work you have done - I am pleased you are finding the lists helpful and getting your house under control - well done hun
carlsbergal - glad Dh's birthday went well and he liked his suprise - what a shame for your friend - I hope she recovers quickly - I am sure everyone must have got a real fright - hope you get the WM fixed asap. xx
G&B hope uni is going well and you are all recovered from the flu xx
hi serena :hello: xx
jassa well done - you are making excellent progress:T
Ishtar well done for tackling your outstanding jobs:T
rosieben (((hugs))) for you and your aunty - thats lovely to have lunch with her.
Penpen I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to see you posting again - IMHO you are doing the right thing by ignoring these prats - you are being very dignified and restrained.
froddy huge (((hugs))) and clear thinking vibes for you angel - I AM impressed with the multitasking - its what we women are good at of course:rotfl:

Seriously, I'm overcome by the many messages of support - this truly is the friendliest, kindest, most caring thread on all of OS - you are all :A

I wasn;t really missing, I was taking my own advice and stepping away from the comupter for a while There are now 3 people who I will no longer be replying to under any circumstances (none of them on here, of course :cool: ). They are quite happy to be "robust" in their postings, but as soon as anyone disagrees with them, they cry "bully". I no longer wish to be any part of their postings :rolleyes:

Wow, what have i missed? I thought OS was all fluffy bunnies and stuff? Sorry to hear people have been upsetting you PenPen. People think they can say what they want from behind their computer screen and dont seem to realise it may actually affect someone.

Dusty - sorry to hear about your friend, the world is very cruel sometimes.

Mudbath - glad to hear you and DS having some coping techniques, he sounds like a very brave young man.

:hello: Hi, to everyone else, have been dipping in and out of the thread when i have time but not really reading much. Using it as a diversion tactic to avoid studying:o Have an exam tomorrow but have done as much as i can tonight. Got stuck on 1 question and it is driving me insane!
PenPen is it you who likes calculus? Do you know anything about partial differentiation of implicit functions? Or does anyone else??

I'm loving that Toots!

PenPen missed you hun and so glad you're back (tried to pm you but that box was full). I wouldn't be a BG or a primary school teacher for all the tea in china, actually I bet they are very similar roles spending most of your time sorting our silly squabbles.

Finally settled DS3 to bed. The others are at the England game with DH, it is odd watching it on tv knowing they are there.

I've finished sorting a box of stuff so Toots - that is Tuesday done for me.

Tomorrow Queen Victoria is at the vets in the morning and then I will be working on the room of doom and ebay listing - gee I'm looking forward to it all ready. To top it all my mother is visiting at 3:00pm.

Hello all

I've no hope of catching up as I was out last night and have been doing gb tonight too. Hugs and hellos to all though.

I did chuck a load in the wm before I went out, it needs hanging up before bed. In fact I'll go and do it in a minute and stick another load in, my work cardigans need washing and could do with one for the morning (hopefully they will dry quickly!). I will try and fly a bit tomorrow night but it might end up being the weekend for most of it. Everywhere is looking ok really so i'm not too worried.

penny - looks like I've missed something but i think you do a fab job and there are always some people who will pick a fight!

On a different note, has anyone been to LEON restaurants? My current totally favourite place, and i've just found lots of recipes online! Yay. greenbee i think you'd love it!

Thanks again to you all, Penny. xx

Pen Pen - it's lovely to see you back. I was worried you were going to disappear for good over something that was just so trivial to be so untrue and unwarranted. You are a goddess and we all appreciate you. Welcome home xxxx

lol, was just having a quick flit through the thread on a study break and spotted my name. Do you still need help?

TBH I think if she's having trouble she needs to develop the habit of asking a teacher for extra support - then the teacher will know she is having problems ...but ta
I have done these but it has been soooo long since I did I can't remember. I can have a stab at the easy ones.

Anyway
I am popping on to ask for thoughts for a lad my DSused to play football with, his sis and mum as dad/hubby collapsed and died suddenly last weekend...in the park where I river clean.
same age as me - exactly!
lovely 'life and soul' type bloke...(and a pub landlord too)
I am so shocked -
