    Snap been thinking about you too. He got bailed AGAIN until the 29th of March, I just wish they would be on with it and we could arrange things.

    Yeah I got a very very snotty and hurtful comment, which she then said I had took the wrong way but told our mutual friend that she did mean it IYSWIM. So basically she's trying to make me look like this emotional loony, when I'm not, she cant just open her mouth and expect people not to say anything back to her

    Hows your DS getting on? x
    Put back for two weeks AGAIN waiting for forensics to come back that don't exist....I was quite sure at first that some one some where would look at things and say 'hang on a minute this is nuts!' but no they are ploughing on - our barrister had to tell the PPS to strike off the name of the other guy in the fight off their list of witnessess as he hasn't/wont be making a statement so they have gone this far thinking they had him giving evidence. I would love to stand up and say 'have you actually looked at anything in that file? It seems they are content to trundle on oblivious as long as they are getting paid. I have a real fear (and so does DS2) that he is going to end up in very hot water.

    So - I understand your stress/strain/worries/fear

    My OH is also waiting on some sort of forensics. They said someone cant make a decision so your being bailed for another month and a half!!! Its crazy!

    Bless you both, its very very hard, and especially for your DS as he's only young.

    Good luck and let me know if you find out anything else x

    Afternoon all

    Love and hugs to those who are sad or poorly.

    Wet and mild here again today. Am posting very late for me, but managed to get DS1 a Drs appointment for 8.30am this morning so didn't time to get on puter before we went out this morning, plus the boys didn't want their pancakes after dinner last night so I made them this morning. After Drs appointment went to look at refitted local library, they now have self service kiosks which the boys thought we fantastic, but overall it's just been extended and updated but a refit was well overdue, so is a much nicer place to visit now. Took 2 bags of toys and books to the charity shop whilst we were in town and this afternoon have cleared telephone desk of old magazines, papers etc - my house has benefitted so much this week with me being on holiday - have decluttered so much of the space - I know it's boring but it does need to be done!
    Hoping I will be able to keep on top of it now so it won't get that bad again!

    Had chicken topped with stuffing wrapped in bacon with mash and veg for dinner last night, was scrummy. Did partake of a couple of pancakes today which I enjoyed. Tonights dinner is pork chops, mash, veg and gravy.

    We have dentist appointments tomorrow and then off to see my friend who had a baby girl on Saturday night - am looking forward to getting a cuddle! I must now get on as I need to do last bit of ironing and then start on the dinner.

    Keep safe and well everyone, hugs to those that need them.

    Well the only Old Style I can confess to is Buying in the Charity shops this afternoon. Twin1 and i were killing time between visiting my mother to say happy birthday, and visiting her twin(2). So I succumbed to the toys DGD wanted, and to buying something cute for the new baby, a dress for DGD, and a jacket or two for me (oops) but they were on the halfprice rail. So a couple of Peruna jackets for £6.00 each. (One was in one charity shop, one in the other!). But as my Mum had kindly donated £20 my way yesterday, I feel that I deserved it. Life has been a bit tough just lately.

    Hope those that are not feeling well, are feeling better soon.
    So far dont know many on here, to name etc etc.

    Mooloo
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Hello everyone, hope you're all having a good day.

    I took the day of work seeing as it's my birthday. I've got a personal rule - try and avoid working on your birthday! I've had a lovely day, had a massage in the morning and then went for lunch with DH which was lovely. He appreciated the company, as he's been signed off for another 2 months and will be on half pay as of this month, so some belt tightening due here.

    Had to get a lift home as we took the car to the garage as one of the front coil springs went and we were advised that the car wasn't safe to drive :( One thing's for sure, you don't make money on a car!

    Weather wise, it's really cold and been trying to snow, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to anything, we've had enough of it this year!

    Hope you've all had a good day and hugs to those that need one.
