    I didn't enjoy walking home from the garage today. I live about 30 seconds from another garage, i should have used them. I'm just wary of them since i asked them to check my anti-freeze levels and they told me it all needed flushing through cos it was all old and would ruin something - quoted me something stupid like £80. The i went to my 'trusty; garage and he just emptied a bit out and poured the new stuff in, no charge. rolleyes-2.gifrolleyes-2.gif

    Trusty garage is no longer trusty after they broke my old car during the MOT. I ranted about it and feel too crappy to go back now :( So i'm trying out a recommendation from a friend... Just waiting for the dreaded phone call - told him not to do anything til i know the price

    csh- you just made me laugh out loud, but I totally agree with you!

    Give them a week to pay SM, although I know it's a PITA.

    Weezl- that really sucks about your SMP and work. Do you have an extra four weeks before Kester arrives, could you do some work from home as a way to get round it?

    I forgot to say, yay for your hubby coming home MFD. IS he likely to be a good patient?

    SS- any update on hubby's ultrasound?

    Thankfully, hubby's not talking to her now so I don't have to put up with any of her games... Incidentally, your reasoning for odd-mum is pretty much the same reasoning as the judge in his summing up of MIL and her actions regarding BIL and SIL.. He said it was all about the benefits for her, and it probably had an awful lot to do with it... Funny how once the children were removed from her care, no medication or disability benefits were required for either of them...

    Wasn't there a case a couple of weeks ago, where the Mum was jailed?, and the child was sent to live with the father and hadn't needed any medical treatment since?
    Aimee's like that... You tune them out in the end don't you lol...

    :rotfl:Liv is exactly the same - she just talks and talks about nothing! And follows me around the house to keep talking at me. She drives everyone else mad - but I must just switch off and nod and make listening noises at appropriate times.

    morning everyone,

    weezl - so sorry that your work is messing you around. the absolute last thing you need at this point.

    becles - sorry to hear you aren't feeling great at the minute. it helps venting on here doesn't it??? i know it does for me. i can't imagaine how you try and fit everything as i always feel like i am rushing about and i dont have uni like you do.

    mfd - i'm sure i saw a post saying hubby is coming home but now i cant find it (confused smiley) and the neg test (you okay?) what happened with your tickets?

    still trouble with sleep in the AF household, but i am struggling on, although i have been letting her come in with me early hours as getting up 5 or 6 times a night is doing in me in. must get strong again though.

    beenie - thought of you this morning when i was on poop scoop duty :D

    Morning all...Beenie, I'm totally jealous of Amber's sleeping. Finn did a 6hr stint the other night, but that's the ONLY time he's done that and last night was back to square one!

    Hopefully swimming today will tired him out thoroughly :).
