    Wiped the first lot of grime from DS3's room and letting the dust settle over night.

    Plan is that I will do all the running around with the kids this weekend (DH usually does this as I do it all week) and he will have a concerted effort at getting the paintwork and ceiling done this weekend which would mean I could do the walls on Monday and Tuesday and that would see it mostly done and he could be moved back in there. But you know what plans are like.

    Off to bed in a minute, just need to set the WM.

    Froddy - hope all went well in school today

    Serena/Hex looks like there could be some gardening weather coming up!

    Toots - DH has filled next door's wheelie to the top with all the cardboard from the shower room stuff. Sorry to hear about your lappy x

I've had a nice week of work, children, friends and a little bit of s/s ing so I don't live in a hovel (yet!).

    Morning lovely flyladies,

    Ben - Still thinking of you and sending hugs. I know you won't feel like celebrating your birthday birthdaycake.gif but I wanted to acknowledge it anyway.
    Vanilla - big hugs.gifSo glad the CSA have closed the case.
    LadyL - love.gif
    Toots - smooch.gifWe will all miss you so very much next week.. I hope it goes as well as it can.
    Rosepink - hugs.gif
    Poppy - Hope you are OK hon, we miss you.
    Froddington - Hope it all went well
    Jinkypinks - kiss.gif
    Lamewolf - If you need sleep you need it and should not hang your head about it.
    Sandy - supportive hugs for you too but PLEASE stop putting sad smilies when you announce stars.. good grief woman, some of us never manage to get even one so you should be proud of yourself!!:rotfl:
    Choccybix - congrats to your husband.
    Thank you all for the positive vibes and prayers and thoughts. I am not sure what to write about the meeting really. One of the first points mooted was that I was not to have false hope as nothing may change and very probably wouldn't. However, I think I was able to elaborate on the notes I had made and give my views. They were here for nearly 2 hrs and as soon as they left I became very emotional.
    hugs to all who need them..

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    Morning All

    I've been missing since Tuesday as I had late nights at work on Wednesday and Thursday. I did come on last night and start to catch up but then WW3 broke out here so I went upstairs with DD out of the way!

    Ruth - Huge hugs sweetie - if you want to talk please pm me - and I hope you manage to smile a little bit today as it's your birthday.

    I'm going to read some more of the thread and then I may do something!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
