I read in the torygrasp at the weekend (so it must be true) that every home of good taste has some pale blue in it!

You mean my mother has a home of good taste then as she has pale blue in her hallway :eek: (she lives in a skip!!) .. I have 3 blue rooms! Does that make me extra tasty?

Hello

Not in a great mood today, ok actually not in any form of good mood!!! Woke up late with a pounding headache and only managed to take stuff to tip and do the ironing. am getting frustrated with the spring cleaning, I'm a perfectionist and it doesnt look perfect to me. :-(
Good news about Sandy though.

That is great news about sandy, thanks for keeping us up to date greenbee, please pass on my continued thoughts.

We didn't get to ik*a as my friend couldn't sit in the car for that long, so we had to make do with shopping nearer to home bought a couple more Christmas presents for the stash.

Going to load the WM with stuff we might need at the weekend. More work done on my web form, need to get this submitted soon.

I thought it was just my hubby that did that! Empty envelopes, flyers, wrappers, receipts, movie stubs, bus tickets.....:mad: Grrr and all that.

LOL, I thought it was just my DH that did those things!

Welcome Newbies

Natty nice to see you posting

Emma hope you are better soon

GnB glad LO was able to have her scan today even though it was a faff, at least you don’t have to back

Sandy, thinking of you xx

Greenbee, thanks for the Sandy updates, it’s nice to hear how she is getting on, I’m glad they are taking care of her

Zoe, that’s great news about the custody and the dress! Yay!

Pigpen, glad XH is having the children a bit more. Are they on holiday now?

Boddy I am shocked at the shoddy treatment you have got from your hospital

Mumof2, my doctors surgery is quite good really, I’ve always had good service there. Plus I’m in there a lot so I think the receptionists have started to recognise me and so are nicer!

Hugs Suep, so sorry for your loss

Hugs LW sounds like you are a bit run down which always makes the BD worse xx

Helen Jelly congrats on the job

Mum of 2 what a horrible dinner lady, hope you complained.

I've washed up today, and went to the village to get my meds. Still feeling tired and coldy although it's not too bad.

My Pollyanna things:
1. I have a lovely husband who loves me!
2. My family are wonderful
3. Even though my online shop isn't doing that well yet, it's given me hope that we will get out of our money probs, I'm certainly trying to promote it enough!
4. We are going on holiday in April for a week in France with my family, can't wait!

Going out in a mo, it's the Memorial of Christ's death this evening, so I'd better go and get ready. We are going to have a Bible study with a nice lady and her son first, and then going on to the Kingdom Hall together

Have a lovely evening everyone xx

I need to vent! Been chatting with one of the guys on my course to see what he is doing for his dissertation. A bit of background-last year the tutors let us see some past submissions for the first year to see the sort of thing that was expected from us, this guy then said, I have some stuff you can see from a guy I work with too. His last submission of the first year was along the same idea as the rest of our, but I know he used a lot of this other guys work for his research. I might be being a bit harsh but then today when I asked him about his dissertation topic while not being exactly the same as this other guys is so close that it seems to be more than a coincidence. I am spending time emailing companies and trawling through education publications/journals and just feel a bit miffed to be honest. I could have taken the easy route too but surely the point of studying at postgraduate level is to look at something that you can learn from rather than rehashing someone elses work!!!

Oh well at least I know mine is my own work, especially as this has been a passion of mine for 12 years, I knew before the end of my first degree that I wanted to look into this area.

Sorry for venting but it is just so annoying.

Yes, they off until Monday and Tuesday 12th/13th.. Different schools go back different days.. and DS3 will have his very last term at primary school!!

KH is rather reluctant to have them more but he can't find enough excuses if I keep offering I'm quite happy for him not to have them mostly, but they want to see him and the little ones like going so I feel it is my duty to keep pushing.
