    apologies dusty i knew it was someone on here and I've seen pigpen use the term too!

    Well dh has cheered up a bit and apologised to me. I'm still in bed with the lappy and should really get up and make some soup for lunch! I've deleted loads of emails, renewed my library books and browsed online for a bit. Need to nip out later for a couple of bits we need, will be good to get some air! We are going to a concert tonight with in laws, and to theirs for lunch tomorrow.

    kazmeister - what's up lovely? hope you're ok.

    Change of plan - I am not going out - it is too windy I'll go at the end of the week so it looks like some wrapping and then some time in the RofD

    Today I mainly need to buy some new knickers and eat a bacon butty.

    I am in a foul mood, variety of issues in the main to do with the family namely hubby and both daughters.

    Just feeling a tad taken for granted in lots of areas....and I'm annoyed about it. Raaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Going in search of food and awaiting the vacating of the house, then I'll get some peace.

    Thank you hunnys - I'm ok really. Have had the BD on and off for a while (which is why I keep disappearing) but blood tests last week confirm I am anaemic again so this time I have to have IV treatment as I think its the only way it will pick up to a decent level.

    Havent done a thing this week flying and for the last 2 days I've sat and watched telly so i think I'm covering the rest bit quite well. Better go get dressed now DH keeps coming up and looking at me as if to say are you going to do anything today :rotfl:

    Hugs Triker - been there several times !!!

    Triker, I've just seen a job lot of 108 thongs on ebay! various colours and sizes!! £12 or so.

    Whole house is CLEAN and sorted, all stars please.

    Ironing waiting to be done a bit later this afternoon ro tomorrow morning.

    2 ebay parcels posted and other 5 sat here waiting to go, but not paid for yet, why is it people win and then don't pay for at least 6 days in one case?? I have sent them a reminder to see if that helps speed things along.

    It is now chucking it down here

    I can't believe this weather! When I woke up it was very windy but bright - then the rain came again! Now it's so dark I can hardly see the keyboard to type and I refuse to put the lights on at just past midday!

    I have washing to do but it won't dry unless I put the heating on and it's not cold enough for that - maybe it will be this evening!

    I am not leaving the house today unless things improve dramatically!

    pigpen - you sound really positive about things right now; glad the house is getting sorted

    Toots - hugs; it is a nightmare when the button gets infected and leaky isn't it? Really hope they get yours sorted soon xx

    sexymouse - glad things are looking up for you; you sound happier!

    AnW - hugs xx

    L-L - hugs and prayers xx

    Triker and rach - hugs and a :mad: for those causing trouble!!

    kazmeister - hugs
