  • Hi all,

    what an interesting day out there - can't remember the last time it was so wet and windy together - not nice!

    have had a busy day so far of in and out bits - but much accomplished and lists getting shorter.

    One small gripe - why can't boys clothing include smart trousers - jeans can't be worn everywhere. Have had yet another wasted traipse looking for some smart black trousers for DS (the sort you can wear to visit elderly rellies, to church, to a posh meal etc) - either we don't sell anything like that madam, or we only have age 13+, or only in wedding season madam. :mad: Found some in Debenhams but they are so slim cut my very skinny lad couldn't bend or sit! :D
    Now looking for nearest large Matalan who may have some, not in local smaller store.

    Anyways must crack on - dinner about 8 I think so quick HHI first.

    laters, Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • Hi everyone

    Had a good day at the trafford centre, bought boots, belt, new diary insert for next year, hair protection spray and a xmas pressie for my dad's goddaughter (she's the one I was shopping with). She's an anaesthatician (sp??) so she's going to pop over next week and do my last injection which is sitting in the fridge.

    When I got home, boyf had tidied the living room AND cleaned (!) the bathroom - using stardrops and everything. He was very proud of himself, and I am so happy. Most of the stuff from the living room is now on the bedroom floor, but we're getting there.

    Jinky sweetie I forgot to say before, thankyou for the suggestion about still asking dad. I'm not sure what we'll do yet, I'm not going up north at all at Christmas, I can't face it, but we'll come up with something.

    Thankyou everyone for the continuing hugs,
    Love to everyone

    moam- try Top Man or Burton for trousers. My DS2 is very tall and slim, grew out of all the school trouser suppliers a while ago, we have found that these two shops stock plain black trousers, and in a variety of leg widths, if that makes sense - ie, straight, slim, skinny, boot cut etc...

    soappie - huge congratulations to your DD!
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    froddy I suspect they never will get it sorted - my immune system wont deal with any infection so it will be constant AB's and that wont last either as that will be a wasted exercise after a while.
    greenbee - unfortunately its not what I am doing thats the problem - I am cleaning it properly - it just wont heal properly because of the way my body is - see what I wrote above to froddy.
    pigpen hope your bump isnt too sore and doesnt get bruised or they will think he is battering you!!

    well my arm is bright red wher i got my SF jag and its sore and itchy at the same time - oooooh:rotfl:
    I have given in to the pain on my tube site and have been taking paracetamols so I feel a bit easier - it has taken the edge off for now - the AB's will hopefully kicjk in tomorrow - fingers crossed.

    I went to town........................ by myself......... well i had 2 ebays and 2 amazons to post so needs must - i was terrified someone would knock into me and I would be sore but no I managed - was only out for about an hour and enjoyed the fresh air. I was also trying to get more dressings but they need to be ordered on prescription so will have to do that monday.

    have been speaking to lovely people and answered a pm from another lovely person so havent been keeping up with my ebay and amazon today so will toddle off and do that now.

    back later

    Ow! Ow! Ow!

    Ouch!

    I've just been headbutted by the bloomin' dog - right on my nose.

    Ouch!

    It brings tears to your eyes!

    I can't shout at her - it was accidental. I bent down to pick up something from the floor by the settee just as she jumped up onto it.

    Ouch! Cold compress time...
