    MY OH is 300 miles away :)

    I can't remember when he stopped being BF and ended up as OH - after our first fight probably! I reckon if anyone can put up with me in a temper - they're definitely past the BF stage.

    He sounds like your OH to me :)

    Enjoy Heroes! - I hope the dreams give over and you get a better one. xx

    PS HB I love your Mr HB phrase - I also love it when Pipsmum calls my OH Mr Stripes :)

    PPS not that I've had many BF's..................

    Marru, done some brief Googling on your dream:
    To dream that you are being chased, signifies that you are avoiding a situation that you do not think is conquerable. It is often a metaphor for some form of insecurity. In particular, to dream that you are chased by an animal, represents your own unexpressed and unacknowledged anger which is being projected onto that animal. Alternatively, you may be running away from a primal urge or fear.
    The gun bit represents threats of some kind of danger, anger, male agression (begins with 'p' & ends with 'enis' :p) etc.
    Not sure that's at all helpful *shrug*

    Enjoy Heroes :)

    Makes perfect sense. Nasty letters from creditors and one from bailiffs. I am tired of writing letters and getting nowhere :mad: Calling national debtline tomorrow re the bailiffs and just shooting out more letters re the others. Also ex to be sorted to my and DD's sanity.

    Oh babe... :(

    *big bearhugs*

    Not at all surprising you're having crazy dreams with all that going on!

    Put you feet up, enjoy Heroes & don't worry about what's to be done tomorrow as that's tomorrow's problem...if you see what I mean! *shrug* :)

    I'm going to log off & spend some quality time my book :rotfl:

    Thankfully, unlike the last few weeks, I'm tired but not utterly wiped out & desperate for bed. Admittedly I have snoozed on the sofa twice today... :o

    Look after yourselves, all you lovely types, I'll see you all tomorrow when I will be a FAFF-tastic bear ;)

    Blimey - lots been going on here today! HB - can I join your challenge? Don't intend to have a drink at all this week. Marru - enjoy watching Heroes, I love that show too. I'll be catching up with the latest episode tonight. Fay - that view is fabulous, lucky you. Can't wait to hear how you get on. Jo - when's your interview, is it this week? Been lovely hearing what everyone's been eating today. We had a lamb roast dinner followed by a home made chocolate pudding which was absolutely gorgeous. Recently discovered the "What have you baked today" forum - some great ideas on there.

    #17 for me please Fay - back on the wagon after a very restrained evening last night - didn't really fancy it to be fair then woke up at 4 with a raging thirst and couldn't get back to sleep :o

    Will join you all on the 96 hour FaFFathon - last push before the end of the month etc.

    Hugs to you marru - hope things start looking up for you soon x
