Forgot to say Welcome to Pillion. It's a bit of a mad house here but everyone's lovely.

Are you sure this isn't another of your family

Lady L... hopefully we're managing to make you laugh as well as cry... and as for flying, well I really don't think you've got time for that, given the level of incompetence being displayed by most of us trying to get the cards to you!

zoe - I can't believe you MADE cards. You're a star - most of us would just be lying around feeling sorry for ourselves if we were in your position. I hope you enjoyed it. And I'm sure Pigpen is right about Lewis. He's just pushing the boundaries - he's probably very worried about you, and this is his way of expressing it.

lil_me

boddy ((hugs)) must be such a worry for you
serena well done on dealing with that situation well
poohbear hope it goes well! Congratulations on the weight loss.
zoe I am sure little one will settle soon, just make sure his overeating is healthy stuff, mine know when meals are & that outside those times they can have as much fruit as they like, started this when they were 3 ish.
kazm ((hugs)) I nnearly put your old surname on your card
jinky ((hugs)) honey
LL mine are on their way....I hope, I did post them in fact DS2 handed them to the collecting guy at the postbox. I did yours first so I know it is there.
Mudbath, sounds like the hammy knew it would get you all moving hehe now just keep it that way
sexymouse honey I hope you manage to sort something out
JillD you sound really run down, hope you manage to feel a little better soon, I am with you on wishing the term was over x I agree with Diva your little lad sounds so lovely
greenbee :rotfl: our parcel man keeps coming before 8am (7am one day) so he's seen both my dressing gowns.
Carol ((hugs)) not the same but an old friend of ours was killed in a car crash & his Dad uses his MSN log in. I cried the first few times he logged in, so I know what you mean. Take it easy honey.

Can I have a star for Tuesday? I have cleaned & tidied inc under the boxes left in the room but boxes had to go back in here (my friends saod it looked ok)

Lunch went ok, meal was wonderful, little pub in the dales with a fab chef! I've had education dept to deal with, they were wanting set opinion on which school I wanted DS1 to go to seniors but I have told them it's too early to tell. They have taken a step back & are consulting the mainstream to see if they could offer him a place, what support etc without effecting his special place yet, phew. Tomorrow DS2 has his final assessment, can't be worse than the speech theray assessment where he refused to talk. I'm full of cold & had a bad mummy moment when I considered keeping him off the whole day so I don't need to leave the house first thing I am so looking forward to school hols. He's got a cubs sleep over tomorrow evening, taking DS1 to church panto while he is there, there until 9am then collect & off to a panto/show at 10.30am Saturday. Sunday DPs club for event then Ds2 panto with cubs....this weekends looking a little 'nuts'...actuallu next few weeks = nuts!

Ok, must get to bed soon, been after midnight all week & I am poopered. ((hugs)) for all you lovely darlings xxx

Thanks toots (and the other nice responses **proud grin** ) , it took so long & such a chew finding the runners etc but well worth it, I love the way my plan of it has turned out. My Mam even liked it :eek: she doesn't usually do compliments. We can also keep the crickets/worms/locusts in the top right cupboard, so more tidy & less noisy. She's being called Belle for short but yes she seems to be settling in, feeding etc we're leaving her to it apart from feeding/spraying for now. I still can't find much about her, found no others in the UK so far a little rare I think. Her poorly knee looked a little swolen today but doesn't seem to be bothering her.

No not in bed yet, having aguements with online banking....

Morning ladies,

'I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas Day in the morning?'

Pillion and Lucy Piller!

Jinky the non-reindeer - Hugs honey and I hope your mum realises she is hurting you..
De.Nattom - have a fab weekend away and spoil yourself, and yes, I have a TM - because of her I am no longer able to see my beloved nephews who used to stay three weekends out of four with me up til 3 yrs ago. I fell out with her and my sister always sides with mum and so - no nephews for two years now. Breaks my heart. And I could tell you horror stories about mum but they are all along the lines of everyone elses TMs, with the added note that my mother is/was a therapist/counsellor and healer for 25 yrs and yet treats me like a bad smell.
Jill - Big squishy for you hon

Toots - big hugs honey, you are an amazing lady.
lil_me - the vivarium looks amazing hon!
macpep - Hope your LOs hand heals fast.

LadyL - I am glad I made you laugh as well as cry and to me both you AND Toots are the biggest of inspirations.
Rose - Well done on the sales, that is great news.
sexymouse - I feel so angry on your behalf!! Take everyone's advice and keep diaries and go to the Union again.

Spoke to Tris for a little on the phone... he is not feeling too good at all. He asked me to sing to him so I sang for about 15 mins til he felt sleepy enough to rest.

Had my first birthday card today but still nothing from my mum. She does sometimes send a card. Last years said 'To ******' and at the bottom 'Mum and boys' she couldn't even bring herself to write 'from'.. Nothing special planned for Monday except I have a hospital appt.

Off to find my list
