  • Hi all.

    Have been lurking this evening and now about to go to bed (well finish the work I have to do and then go to bed).

    Am seriously considering going to the docs to see if they will sign me off for a while. My nerves are shattered. Hubby stubbed his toe earlier and swore and I bawled my eyes out because he had worried me :(

    Everything is seeming very big and impossible and insurmountable ATM. I wish I could curl up in a ball and cry for a while.

    Sorry to be all down again. I know I have lots of good stuff going on, it just seems that all the bad stuff is overshadowing everything with a big black cloud.

    I need a good slap and a shake.

    MFD xx


    Have sat for 10 minutes (when I should have been working) wondering whether to post this or not because I am not after tons of sympathy and hugs :o I just feel if I don't say how I am feeling to somebody it will eat me up. Please ignore me.

    Hi. Quick question..

    How long would you expect a tumble drier to last?

    White Knight. £250-ish. Light to moderate usage.

    Roughly?

    Aww MFD. I'm not offering sympathy 'cos you don't want any! :p, but i'll give you a hug and a lady kiss on each cheek. ;)
    You work far too much, and you've had poorly hubby to deal with too recently - it's no wonder you're feeling crap! Go to the docs tomorrow, and get yourself a couple of weeks off to chill. xxx

    Did you see me thank the fairies on Friday?


    Hi everyone else, i'm lurking this evening. :wave:

    Becles, Mel and anyone else with older boys.
    Is there anywhere you can get boys school trousers, that fasten with something other than those metal clip thingys?
    J has 5 pair, from Asda, BHS and Tesco, all with the metal clip thingys, and 4 are now broken.
    He needs elasticated waist, or proper buttons. Any ideas?
    :beer:

    In my Asda they do a few different types and one have no fasteners at all, just elastic. They're grey but rarely in stock.

    Otherwise i'm sure Matalan do some with buttons, not positive tho

    OMG Tia - your letter had me in hysterics...I will tell you again tomorrow because you might not read back:p

    MFD - I wrote you a long'ish reply but tbh I don't think you want that so I just want to say that it sounds like a good idea to go to the docs, and have some time off work......

    Hi 3

    I think most places are those slidey clip things! I used to get some from Next and Woolworths that were buttons. I haven't had for a while though because Woolworths shut down and ds1 went through 11 pairs of trousers last year so I got the cheapest I could find, Asda I think!
