OMG .....My DS1 is 16 today.:eek::eek::eek:..how did it go so fast?????????????

That happened to me on Sunday and I felt the same. Hope he has a good day (mine was very nonplussed about it)

Greenbee - I admire you for facing the past and taking steps to move forward. I am dreadful for just walking away from situations which I cannot cope with. I don't do emotional confrontation, I just sob.

Off to finish my dailies.

DS1 coming home for lunch as his brace is making it very tricky to eat.

This afternoon hotspot elimination time.

Morning All :wave:


Am posting from work (again) I am still having wireless issues at home just now so having to post from work daily, I was out last night anyway so never got in until late, planning a blitz tonight when I come home from the gym. I am just back after my injury and had a great workout last night. I have lost 7lbs in 2 weeks so well pleased although have not been cutting out the alcohol totally, just less of it and more water and not eating as much carp at night ie takeaway food :eek:

Diva – Continued vibes for Tris & Michelle, hope you are ok ??
Lady-L – (((Hugs))) hope you are ok x
Toots – (((Hugs))) Good luck for little one today
Pooh – I have only ever been on the steroid tablets once when I came back from abroad and my inhalers were not helping, hope you feel better soon x
LW – Thanks for that, its blocked at work as it comes under “health” :huh: I will have a look later as I can get on DH’s lappy he goes out tonight
Greenbee – Hope you still enjoyed the evening despite the “issues”, hope you can work through it and hope your now-happily-married-ex finds you an eligible male! And hope you get the result you want from the email ((hugs))
Mumto5 – If I saw that woman going in the car drunk, I would pick the phone up and call the police, its just not acceptable
lilo – Good luck for your DS for today, how exciting for him and you!
Me – Aww ((hugs)) am sure your friends would not have minded about your house, hope you feel better soon
Emma – Glad your chat was ok and well done on your DS being so grown up about it
Sandy Take it easy! and :rotfl: at your DH’s Man Chat :rotfl:
Pigpen – Difference is you won’t have “man flu” like they do, hope you feel less snottery soon, did you go to the station??

That's how I normally react. I'm now worrying that I may have done more damage by walking back into his life and dropping a potential bombshell (I hope it won't be seen that way... I tried hard to phrase it so it was up to him how to interpret it and the ball is now in his court) than I did by walking away originally.

macpep - congrats on the weight loss. I only lost 1.5 kg over the last 3 weeks so really need to kick start things again this week. Lots of broccoli, salad and soup on the menu for the foreseable future!

Ex has promised to think about whether he has any eligible friends!

Afternoon all

Tuesday and Wednesday lists complete

I did all the bedrooms today, like I usually do. Also polished again in the living room and computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Two loads of washing on the line, including the bedding. It's dry and breezy but not sunny and it feels like it's getting colder to me but that might be because I've stopped working.

Outside I've tidied out the shed and recovered my outdoor dustpan and brush that had fallen to the back. Chucked away a couple of bits. I've teak-oiled my outside benches. Pruned a bush (less to get rid of before the leaves come back!). I'm thinking about cutting the grass but I'm not sure whether we're going to get more frosts. Anyone know if it's safe yet? Swept up outside after pruning and then used the brush to push down the stuff in the green bin.

Cottage pie made earlier for dinner and thats's cooking now and the smell is making me hungry.

Going to catch up a bit, hope everyone's OK.

Afternoon all.

Flying has commenced, but I probably won't post today's progress til late, as Mr LW has offered to help with the inventory of the food cupboard (in Level 3) and it'd be churlish of me to refuse.:p

LameWolf they were treating me for Lupus originally but know they know different but a lot of the symptoms are similar. Can I ask 'what' you are IYKWIM that you dont celebrate Easter - I wont be offended if you dont want to answer - I am just curious as I have never come across anyone who doesnt celebrate it.

No problem - I'm happy to answer.:) I'm a Pagan. I follow the Wheel of the Year, which means eight (count 'em!:D) excuses for champagne; the Equinoxes and Solstices, plus four fixed festivals, throughout the year; but I don't bother with the Christian festivals.:o

Greenbee (((HUG))) I don't do reunions - ever! Can't cope with the idea of some gremlin from the past coming back to haunt me. I hope things work out for you.

I hope everyone's having a good day's flying; Sandy take it steady, OK?

That's why I don't normally do them. I think this time I might have turned out to be the gremlin

Suppose I should do some work...

Thanks LW. I'm trying to slow down. Managed to do the kitchen so far. How are you today? Eight excuses for partying sound's great to me;)

Going to do HHI at 12.45 if anyone wants to join me. Looking at it though it may be optimistic thinking it will take half an hour:D

Thanks, Sandy, I'm (fingers crossed) not too bad today; hope it lasts.:)
Can you just iron for half an hour then stop?
Can you sit down to it? On the rare occasions I iron (Mr LW has to set the board up for me as I can't lift it) I have it set low, and sit on my computer chair.
Just having a spot of lunch right now, then back to Flying.:o
