You're most welcome, hope you are feeling a bit better my lovely

mlb - also welcome for the cuppa

helen - hope you are feeling a bit better and had a few power naps today

rose - hair was Perfect 10 Medium Brown (how exciting - not). It was more a case of colour in the grey to match the rest :rotfl: At least one person noticed and thought I had been to the salon so I must have done a reasonable job
oh and WOO HOO on your insurance pay out :j:j:j

Jo - I have a thing of febreze upstairs permanently for use on various soft furnishings that get wrecked by the children :rolleyes:

potty - how is the decorating going ? I have done some little bits but its painfully slow. Pesky kids keep being here and then I cant do any :rolleyes: and lunch out today was far more appealing :rotfl:
Did get a good bit done this evening from 7-9, got 2 teeny walls, one big wall and ceiling left to do. Dreading the ceiling.

sunnyzo - bl00dy men, sorry but how selfish of your ex, wants to have it all ways grrrr STAY STRONG GIRL

frodders - yay Belfast!!!! (Where I'm from) Have you been before ? Its the BEST

vanilla - cant give any advice, have no experience of this kind of thing. Could you seek any legla advice from CAB , or do any local solicitors do a free clinic (ours do a free drop in half hour session thing at local community centre once a month). ((hugs))

rach - loads of good luck vibes for your DH

carlsberg - so sorry you are getting grief elsewhere, you just dont need it do you

Dusty - just seen post re talking book son Book People THANKYOU THANKYOU HANKYOU was wondering where to get some audio books for DD1 for her birthday next week to play on her new CD player Its late but if I order tonight might might might get it in time

On cars, I have a Citroen Picasso and although I am thoroughly bored of it, and it is now FULL of children and their noise aarggghh, I do love it, its been a fab car, would highly recommend.

funfairprincess

I was going to say good evening but I will say instead. Having a rubbish day today, nothing off my list just done my dailies today and got OH to pick up Wii. Feeling a bit like this and this and this hope I feel a bit better after a sleep.

Lil-me huge vibes for a great first day for DS1. I like the blue one but I don't think I could live with it!

Rosepink great news about the cheque.

Lady-L Austen will be mad. He seen a kid in a wheelchair the other day and has been harping on about getting one because "it's not fair" apparently:rolleyes:


Right meds and bed I think

Morning ladies!

Happy Thanksgiving to any American friends reading this!

Jinkymy lil ball of scrumptiousness -
LadyL - . It is my pleasure to be here for you and I wish I could do more. And we all hate that getting around is so hard for you.

Perhaps we could all come round and 'pimp your ride'.. Spray paint it your favourite metallic colour.. stick on beads and diamantes spelling out Lady Liberty across the back... Attach a row of pegs (all one colour of course!) along the top of the back (to keep all your peg obsessed friends happy) and with it being the season for it, some fairy lights. Of course it would have a large bicycle horn so you can warn people to get out of the way and extra wide arms which open up and inside one are ready mixed G & Ts and emergency bars of chocolate and in the other a very long boxing glove on a spring (a la Tom and Jerry) activated by a large red button of course, so if someone is really annoying you, you can 'help' them out of the way? Oh and underneath the seat one of those blue lights that glows as you move along.
Rosepink - Great news on the money!
Jinky my lil ball of scrumptiousness -
Mummyslittleboy - welcome hon!
Toots - Please remember to rest..

Pigpen - This past year for their birthdays I sent money or vouchers but I really want to be able to do something different for Christmas, even if I have to just leave it on the doorstep. I have made a note of the suggestions, thank you.
Sexymouse, Carol and AnWs thinking of you all.
lil-me - The reason I haven't seen them for two years is that their mother and grandmother fell out with me three years ago and have erased me from their lives. Before that they were spending three weekends a month with me.. then after we fell out I was allowed to see them every sunday for about a year ad then two years ago no access at all. But thank you for the ideas.
Dustykitten - thank you hon, I am on my way there to take a peek.
carlsberggal - I am sorry you were disappointed in your ex, hon but to be frank, you cannot control how someone else will act and if he just wants to throw money and not time then at least he is doing SOMETHING. You need to stop stressing about what he may or may not do and just focus on your daughter, he isn't worth the energy. The actual father and your daughter are the ones that will sort things out now with your wonderful support of course. You are a great mum and will be a great Granma too I am sure.

Rach - Will send positive vibes out for your husband today.
Vanilla - if all else fails, demand a DNA test.. then it will all be over.

Ok, to stop this post being reams long, I will split it up..
