    Sandy - *Hugs* honey, you've been through the mill haven't you! I don't think I'm a psyco, although I'm sure there's times when OH disagree's, but I'm definatley with the questionable sanity brigade. One ticket for the virtual bus please...I'll be the one in dispensing white coz its my uniform and I'll be getting ready for work, otherwise I'd've been on the flyladies who'd help out list! Any excuse for a trip to York:p

    LW - I have a phone phobia too, not as bad as yours, but I get really panicky when the phone rings and I don't know whos on the other end (unknown numbers or on the landline, really should get caller ID) or ringing people I don't know. People always think I'm just being silly though, no-one really takes me seriously with any of my panic/anxiety stuff, I kinda feel like they think I put it on when I'm really very scared:(....sorry, that was suppose to be about you not me...

    Pigpen - I think your phenomenol (big word, probably spelt wrong). I can only hope I have a similar attitude should I enter the 'P' word situation.

    Ajmoney - Positive vibes for our friend. And *hugs* if necssary.

    Rosepink - Hope DH is feeling better!

    Right well I've one washload on the line, another to go in the machine, aome pots to do and plenty of tidying up. Am gonna stick to stuff like that today coz I'm at work sonnish, but will work through the lists (in some manner) tomorrow as I'll have a day off and the house to myself....not two things which commonly happen at the same time here.

    Hugs and Loves to all!

    hello all

    oh, i do miss this thread when I don't have time to get on - you mad people! :( I'm very glad it's nearly the weekend :) and plan to do very little!

    We really need to fly here, I'm sure DH will help tomorrow (to be fair recently it has been me helping him!).

    Tell me if I am talking baby stuff too much on here, I'm a bit lost on the pg thread as they are all having babies quite soon and mine is ages away! I bought a really nice chicco padded baby chair for £5 last night from netmums and I'm so pleased :) I am having a bargain baby and that's official...it's becoming a bit of a challenge (like my wedding, some will remember!). I also went to a real nappy demo yesterday, was fab.

    sandy - hope it goes well for you today - will be thinking of you. If you want a hospital friend anytime please shout!

    Off back to work today after a day off - both DD2 and I had a tummy bug. Not looking forward to it - on Wed we learned that one mum had died of cancer (she left 6 and 4 yearolds) and that one of our pupils was in a hospice close to death - he's only 8, We knew he had a life limiting condition...but it's still a shock.....and he was such a character.

    Positive vibes would be welcome if you've got any to spare.....

    Another one getting her ticket for the virtual bus.
    I'm out in the real world this morning so 'face' on and even found jewellery so looking reasonably presentable.

    .. I understand that you're nervous of giving out details to strangers and meeting up (I was terrified of meeting soappie ... I'm still terrified of her :p:p:p but she turned out to be just as mad as in real life as online, which was a relief!),

    :cool: Be afraid - be very afraid :D

    Rach, you talk babies as much as you like!

    Sandy hun, I'll be on the bus - all clean and tidy and presentable.

    Have been up for ages. One lot of washing already on the line and another in the machine. Seems today is going to be the best of the weather over the weekend.

    The Great Tits are still nipping in and out of the bird boxes so I think we'll definitely have nests this year. Sooo exciting!

    I'm really glad I did all that flying yesterday. It was nice to wake up on a day off with a sparkling house. Right, have suitable drip dried from my bath so I'd better get dressed and find some breakfast.
