    Hi all, as usual - recently - am struggling to catch up with the posts I have missed.

    Are you all ok?

    Have been busy, busy, busy with work + overtime + bits and bobs + setting up my sweets business with sis (website is coming along sooo slowly, why did we choose mrsite, no idea).

    Anyone else who wants to link up on fb, let me know + I will friend you.

    Any new blogs or twittery links too, let me know and I will follow you.

    Amber, I saw a post earlier from you that I now cant find! pm me your web, etc, links and I will follow / share / tweet / anything else I can think of.

    xx all

  • The people here (in Lowestoft), sorry! Went to all the kids groups for the first 5 months, but just got blanked by everyone as they already had there little groups, so gave up. Probably why I am on here so much, least I have someone to talk to, so to speak!
    I know what you mean mummy
    Its the same here and im from here,I moved to Scotland for 10years and they were great, but moved back and have been very disappointed with the attitude of local people....wish all you lived nearby

    Thanks for all friendly advice before
    My DD has been back to see me and apologised and said she has seen the light with him....I really hope so
    She is also going to see a doctor about depression and go to the police
    Little one is here for the night ,DD has gone home to get sorted and have a good sleep
    Was at my wits end today and Im on my last nerve...should be skinny with stress but Ive eaten a tub of luxury ice cream in depression....now I feel sick

    DD3 who is 10 went to her first disco with no mums at it and had a great time...exchausted and partied out....danced the night away

    Hope fully will get back into money making mode tommorow...is it worth listing on ebay easter weekend,my viv westwood swimsuit went to italy and made 21.50 +6 postage..my OH was suprised he said he would have put it out
    He had a carp day ...he was fined £190 and 3 points for answering a call from his boss while stopped a traffic lights....and his bank refused a payment for my laptop part of £4.40 even though he had plenty money in...they will prob say it was for safety but as I pointed out if your gonna rob someone you would take more than £4.40 and they let all other payments for £100s go through...doesnt make sense

    Morning all. Woohoo, bank holiday weekend is here at last! Next door has about 20 teenagers having a party, which is why I'm still up. Can't really complain - I live in a terrace house and I hardly ever hear anything from them, and there is a single dad with 3 teenagers, so it's pretty miraculous!

    I had my niece to tea tonight and she posted her first blogs! She is absolutely thrilled about it and I have a feeling she will be up half of the night writing her next blog in her "secret" notebook. She was even more thrilled that it means she gets her very own email address. She hasn't been allowed one before, and this one will be under supervision, but I think she feels very grown up (she's just 9).

    I had a glance in her notebook when she was watching tv and was amazed at the standard of her writing. She has written some songs and they are really good. Apparently she has the music for them all in her head too. Maybe we have a budding musician or novelist in our midst -hope she remembers me when she's rich and famous :p

    I'm loving doing my blog so far, I find it very de-stressing to sit and let my fingers talk. I've caught up with everyone's blogs and am really enjoying them. I was just looking at your kids doing the painting in the bath Jo, what a great idea! Not sure if my nerves could stand it though :) And Nixi - those bonnets are brilliant! Your little girl looks really mischievous :D

    Just watching a Status Quo concert - haven't really listened to them for years, forgot how much I enjoy their music. Was watching Blur before that and felt the same about them too. I really must start listening to more music.

    Ha ha, I just realised it has gone quiet next door - do you think I've frightened them with the sound of the Quo :rotfl:

    Hey if anyone is familiar with Etsy. If you view your own item does it count as a view?

    Ive just had 8 views within like a few minutes of listing an item on there?

    I did click on it whilst i was logged into my etsy account. I know eBay doesnt count this but does etsy? Hope ive had 8 unique views lol. That would be great!
  • Morning everybody!

    I am soooo tired, DD1 decided to get up half a dozen times last night between 11 and 3am complaining her leg hurt, not got the foggiest as to why, but finally got her sorted, then the other one started. Tried everything to get her back to sleep, but nothing worked, so 5.30 I gave up, came downstairs, put her in her chair, made a cuppa, and what has she done? Gone to sleep! She is still a poorly little sausages. Add to that the house is full of cat fluff as Ben decided to beat the carp out of one o fthe others last night, the spare room is still full of boxes and the remains of dinner last night is all over the floor thanks to the cats, ooops!

    Busy busy day, wish me luck, hope she likes me! Everybody have a well deserved nice long money making weekend! xx

    ps. If anyone see the sunshine can you send it this way?

    oh Evenstar - I don't envy you at all. dog puke bleurrgh.
    Thanks evryone for the tweets and facebook stuff.
    M and P poor you. Don't worry munchki will take it all in her stride I'm sure and will be a welcome distraction for the children too.
    Have a lovelly day and don't wear yourself out.
    Joey - I knew the paints were very washable before I let them loose and Its not a particularly nice bathroom so I was fairly relaxed. It went all over the lace but not in huge amounts and came off really easily.
    Great to hear about your niece and her blog. sounds really interesting about the tunes and her songs. Does she play any instruments?
