    ((((()))))) Hugs and cuddles from me to you, sorry not been around very much trying to get my head together ((:()) (holding head in shame) I am feeling the anger and upset and have let you down for listening (reading) daily. DS has finally gone back to college but have DH home now (virus) making the most of it, so trying to ignore the winging and and snffing I went out side in the garden and just got stuck in ( well every so often he came out and offered a cup of tea) :) couldn't sleep so been up since 5am veryone still asleep and getting the occasional coughing fit throught he ceiling but he's back to work on Monday :D and will finally get back to days where I can potter at leisure without being hassled,

    hopefully the ash has cleared looks pretty good so DS2 can go back to school, hope you have a good day today((:))) i find the hugs and cuddles first thing in the morning often helps even if only for a moment.

    Good morning 40SM,
    love0066.gif

    Lots of hugs and kisses to you, hope your life starts to pick up soon, seems as though you have been through one hell of a lot of crap recently and I've been consumed in my own crap and as busy (or busty ;)) as you like at work to catch up, apologies hun x

    Total crap news about the car, mine is playing up big time. I paid the guy (whom assured me he was a mechanic......he was at the time laying under a car with blue overalls on so he ticks one box...) £72 to make it go again after he reckoned it was a coil that had gone, that replaced and new plugs all round and all was fine till a week or so later when it only starts when it fancies it, then when it does it makes an almighty rattle :undecided. Very much hoping it stays going till Friday when I get paid and can get him to give it a service.

    Hope you and the kids are enjoying the weather, at least that's something we can enjoy that's free huh....

    I was contemplating (and don't tell Fay :shhh:) going out to my jungle attached to the back of the house this afternoon with the secataurs and wellies she sent me last year and seeing if I can cut an entrance into it.......fighting0039.gif

    Thank you all very much for your good wishes over the weekend:) We did not go to Dorset but we have spend a lot of time out and about with the kids & dog. It is very , very hot here and the heat is getting too much for the dog (and me!!). So all in all have had a good weekend, I am just not going to think about next week until it comes !!

    Ruby, you have nothing to apologise for :A Hope things pick up for you soon and hope that DH is on the mend. :)

    Jo, sorry to hear about the car :( Good luck with the garden ( I won't tell Fay;))


    Taxi, I am just nipping over to your diary to see how you are:)

    Thanks Hypno & RMC for popping in;)


    I hope you are all having Happy Sundays;)

    Love

    40SM

    All is now fine in my world........ I have just watched An Audience with Michael Buble;) . As some of you know I am a massive Buble fan:) DH on the other hand , detests him:( . So it was doubly nice that he sat and watched with me as he knew it would lift my spirits. I have probably embarrased myself forever , as all the door and windows were open ( due to the heat) and I was singing along at the top of my voice :o . But hey, I don't care, I enjoyed myself.


    Good night all:)

    love

    40SMxx

    Hi 40SM, sounds like you've been through the mill the past week or so - sorry to hear that - but glad that "the boob" as he's known in our office - sorted you out ;)

    Take care xx
