    I'm flitting between here and FB - a good friend of DD who is only 22 has had major surgery on heart, stomach, lungs and kidneys today and we are still waiting to see how she is. She is also allergic to anesthetic!

    *flitting through*

    I've done the kitchen.:D:D:D

    I have also done all sorts of odds and ends - the cloakroom was being gutted today, ready for refitting completely from tomorrow. So, a huge amount of mess just about everywhere. I'm getting rattier by the moment. On the plus side, I have 'helped' ;)OH decide that we should replace the old radiator at the same time, as it's going to look rubbish otherwise.:D

    I escaped to the garden this afternoon, and did some brutal pruning of clematis and overgrown shrubs...

    sexymouse - you rock! I'm so proud of you for telling it as it is!!!

    I might not do ironing (sorry peeps :o ) but I do match my pegs :D

    Notso

    Ah you are halfway there so there is hope for you yet!!!:rotfl:

    Just to keep on topic on a flying note -

    I have been fluttering gently since 4.30 ish and I'm starting to flag a bit now. However the kitchen looks fabulous. WM is going through a cleaning cycle now. All filters done etc etc. Just going to unload the DW and 'clean' that too! And the stinky cat box Blurgh!!!

    Just found out that DS got excluded from college back in November! :eek::eek::eek:

    He lives on his own in supported accomodation as neither me or his Dad could cope with him and he was already repeating a year.

    Don't know what to think right now :(. He is such a clever boy, I just don't understand it.

    What gets me is that he lives in supported accomodation and he is supposed to have a keyworker??!!!

    I called him just now but he didn't want to talk to me about it. He just asked if I called to moan at him. I just said, "no, it's your life but I think you are stupid". Just told him I loved him and put the phone down. No point trying to talk to him if he is in a mood like that.

    been a bit of a nightmare here today so this is my first chance to post. Have a 'visitor' coming tomorrow morning so I was on flying where people can see mode:o

    Dusty RE not compulory here (but then I'm in a different country;)). I did DS1's options with him the other week and I think he would have had a fit if that was a must do. I never knew that hairdressing and childcare were now options I had to study accounts and loads of other carp!

    Tag do I have you on facebook? Notso I'm under my real name!

    just heard DD friend is thru the op and is now on the ward 'doing really well'. Now just need to wait to hear how it went. She had had total organ failure as well as other medical problems! Just being in her amazing presence makes me appreciate that despite my aches, pains and stiffness life is worth living and I thank God that I am able me to support DD friend and her parents in prayer.Now need to get a message to DD who is on holiday in China so hopefully my text and/or FB message will get to her soon to put her mind at rest.
