Rightio, firstly Carlsbergal, you cannot 'abduct' your own child who has chosen to live with you and is over the age of 12 and able to make rational decisions. Pigpens advice is spot on (ere Pigpen are you trying to do me out of my job )

I would suspect that the Mother's reluctance to move from reaction to action is due to the impact of lost income.....mebbe ;).

Piggers, :j for sorting out uni and :j:j for DS1's new home, thats great news, hope it all goes well.

The house had gone by the time DS1 got there with the deposit BUT.. on the plus side he now has a deposit so when another comes up he can grab it quick.

Last week I would possibly have had to ask my own questions.. they have all been answered so it was pure fluke I knew the answer having discussed it days earlier.. and no.. I wouldn't have your job if the wage was quadrupled and I had a mansion to live in free of charge!

pigpen - glad you got uni sorted and great news about the new house - will they be in for christmas?

We are hoping thay can find somewhere sharpish.. they were after a flat today in a really unpleasant area where GF and Jacob might not have been safe.. hopefully they have been persuaded against that so we are now on the lookout!

Joining you a little late jjef

I've been missing for a few very busy days - but once I've dropped DD into town for work, and collected DS1 at the same time, then I'm off to do the bathroom!

I was on a course in London yesterday - at the Hilton, Kensington, and very interesting it was too.:D

On the way back to Victoria, I stopped off at the Natural History Museum - wow, love the sparkly lights in the trees and the ice rink that's there at the moment! I haven't been for about 25 years, and had totally forgotten how impressive it is. I was only going into the shop, for a woolly mammoth (as you do) :cool:. My nephew wanted one for Christmas. It's so cute, I want to keep it...

Triker

Hello, well I'm not as crapola as I first thought, have applied for a Virgin 0% balance transfer card awhile and hadn't yet transferred the balance.....:o or so I thought.

Just rang and it had already gone through from my application which is great news and means I can start really knocking my aquired debt back down.

Found out also that cash transfers are at 0% until 2011 so have had some money transferred into my bank account as I need to fund a new car for work. Instead of buying crappy sheds I'll spend a bit more and hopefully it'll last me longer **crosses fingers**.

So need a good hard look at my finances and HAVE to get a grip re my debt which I've been in denial about....again.:o:o:o

Will probably amend my siggy to show that I'm in debt again and then hopefully I'll get spurred on to deal with it.

Aww Pigpen, sorry they missed out, bummer, here's hoping something comes up really quickly soon.

Right going to get my paperwork together and pay off some debt. Will add it up and look at what I can do about it all.

Wish me luck.:D

Someone has to keep an eye out for your mad late-night spending urges and try to stop you from acquiring more unnecessary clutter! :p

I've been in front of my PC for so long I can hardly see the screen anymore...

Now you need to take regular breaks and I'm sure you know it (she says with her DSA hat on)

Have continued to fly and the oven is really sparkling now. DH was impressed except when I asked him how to put it all back together and he denied knowing until I started to do it, when he critisised me so we had a ding dong until he shut up .......... I won

Still washing throws and cushion covers, and have a problem with one seat cushion cover as I zipped it up to stop things tangling in it and the zipper came off in my hand, so now its done up and needs to go back on the sofa and I dont know what to do as I couldnt get it back on again .

More tea being drunk, waiting for DH to finish creating his mess in the kitchen before he goes back to work (and I then have to clean it all again :mad:) then its kids teas and more flying. Feel OK today and hopefully can take it easier over weekend when DS girlfriend here.

Good luck Triker!

some passing thoughts to be going on with ..........

zoelikesjam awhhhhh massive (((hugs))) gentle ones of course - what a bad time you are having honey - I dont care how bore you are you must rest and rest and then rest some more!!!! I hope the pain is bearable and you will be on the mend soon - roill on next year - it can only better xx
kazm do you know how long it takes to feel the beneifits of the treatment and how many are you getting? I am sure the GF will not be bothered about the house it will be DS's room she is interested in:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: if she is a nice girl then thats all that matters - hope the visit goes well - can you give us some ideas of what DH likes so we can give you suggestions? as for Ds - how old is he - stocking fillers like smellies for the shower (espec since there is a Gf!), CD/DVD/socks/keyring/cover for his phone or MP3 or ipod/sweets/flash storage pen for pc/book/coasters for his room/scarf/mug/playing cards/pen/rucksack/sports bag(handy for sleep overs:rolleyes::rotfl:)travel alarm/tie/shirt/belt/wooden puzzles (you know the kind thatb are a shape made up of small irregular parts and you hav to put it back together)
wilf well done with the clamping/parking out - thatsa bonus!!!! and WTG your Mum and Dad - thats just what you are needing - something nice to look forward too - you will manage it - and you can buy loads of nice summer things on ebay and its reasonably cheap -get selling more stuff. awhh bless wee Macie - that must have made you smile from ear to ear!!
toochoosey very well done with the weight loss :T:T
pigpen thats great news for DS1 and family - he is doing really well - and you will be decluttering more stuff - good news all round - not having stairs will be a so much better and somewhere for the laundry - brilliant!! ETA I see they didnt get it but maybe next time and hopefully it will be a better area too.
mrsChaos hope Mil gets her warfarin under control sooner rather than later to save you these unexpected hospital visits and make her more comfortable - I must do a pm to you:o
Diva that will be nice for Tris to be in his own home again - he will be more relaxed and content there with his own things and family.
lala dont you worry about me sweetie - chilling time will be on the agenda in the new year when all this decorating is finished and i am just doing the finishing touches - THEN i will have time to chill and do some of my less stressful and enjoyable projects!!:D
TAG well done with the carpet - you will better once you get the bathroom totally finished - its far better than having half finished projects - believe me I know!!!
LadyL glad you are feeling better today - yes SarahS is ok -she is very busy and not had time to come on the thread. thanks angel for the thoughts on my list - i knew you would know what i meant!!
Valli WOW thats brilliant to get the 11 tickets - well done - hope you will all enjoy it
jinky (((hugs))) hope you feel better quickly
Dusty no more tears now honey - AF is a Bi*ch and she has a lot to answer for - you need to think of nice happy things today and thats an order - like what size of santa will fit down your chimney -small medium large? can you imagine Mudbath in her squirrel costume with tinsel and bells on giving me a ticking off? what will you do with the million pound cheque your Dh is going to surpise you with on Christmas night!!! Now that Tiger has blotted his copy book will your DS be ready to take his place? If woody was grey would he will be woody or would he be ????? Will the daleks win the battle against Dr Who? What strange and unimaginable place will Valli hide her keys in next? Which one of Trikers beautiful chooks will lay next? Will Jinky be a white bride and are you wearing a hat? is it painful for the fairy on the tree? can you imagine a collection ( a mottley one at that!!) of flyladies dressed up as various animals. elves, etc waggling their fingers at me and ladyL - is this a face of concern????:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
mudbath - thank you angel for my daily dose of the giggles - love you too xxxxx I want a piccie - that squirrel thing was before my time!!!!
You can comment if you like - all helpful suggestions are considered - and I am shaking in my boots at the thought of the wrath of the squirrel and co.!!!!:p:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
dreamy dont be hard on yourself - do we ever really know anyone - but its good riddance to him and you are moving onwards and upwards (((hugs)))

Triker oh yes I am still grinning and being careful not to walk on it with shoes on.
hex ((( hugs))) prioritise - get the urgent stuff done ASAP!!!!!!!!
Aunty Crafty thanks you angel - glad the Council visit went ok - well are you getting one - I am ineterested!!!!!
Miss Higgerty - thats the way - try to do A LITTLE - you probably overdid it on wedneday - hope the visitor is a nice distraction
jjef Oh that would have been a brilliant day - its only natural that you would think of him as it would have been such a milestone too - you will need to raise a glass to him later (((hugs))) thats fine about the card - but you wernt on my list - I was going to send your direct anyway but now i am wondering if i have missed anyone else - Lady L how many cards should i have done?
embb - hope DD feels better after your browsing and nattering

Hello lovely flyladies! :hello: I've been seriously mia for a while but I have been flying, honest! It's 4 weeks today since I moved in with my microwave and kettle and 3 weeks since all my furniture and boxes were delivered. I'm mostly unpacked, just my craft and art stuff to put away and 2 more boxes of books to open up. Empty boxes being collected by a freecycler this weekend which will clear a big space

Hope you're all well, thinking of you all especially LL and toots, here's a <<hug>> for anyone in need

I'm hoping to sign up properly again next week as I need to get routine sorted pdq

have a great evening everyone
