Triker awh shucks honey 'thank you' for those lovely words - and yes (valli guessed too) we may as well come 'fess up - AnW's Mum and the scallywags are coming on Friday until Tuesday - :j:j:j:D:D:D:D:D:D I am excited and nervous all at once!!!:rotfl: Hope you have had a better day at work (((hugs))) xxxxxx
Aunty Crafty hope your snow hasnt lasted and you are ok

And the same to all my Scottish lady flyers - take care and I hope you all get rid of the snow double quick - I still have none!!!!
pooh oh honey thats bad news that you are snowed in again!!! hope its not for long but long enough for you to crack the whip on the DSs and get the house ship-shape again with very little effort on your part - hope DH gets better very quickly. (((hugs))) xx
rach methinks you will need to have some naps until you get past this tirednes xx
kazw hope your day got better (((hugs)))

Happy holidays Froddy xx
Sarah2490 glad the move is over and I hope you get settled in soon
LameWolf I know loads of people who are not maternal - its not a requiement of being a woman - now dont be silly getting all down and depressed about it - just thank your lucky stars - you have saved a fortune -and having read some of the posts on here over the last 18months I dont think I could cope!!!!!:rotfl:
Mumof2 and the other Mums what about sponsored silences so you get a bit of peace over the hols:rotfl: If they keep totally quiet for say 30 mins they get rewarded (nothing humugous but work it for yourselves) and you would get 30 mins me-time - you could resort to packing tape
1 step closer well done with the de-cluttering - thats impressive!
Congrats Mrs polkadot!!!!:T hope the wedding and everything went well. You wont be able to go as mad as before while you are carrying - you will need to rest (so I believe!!) so baby steps and work up to it all gradually. get Ds helping now - you will need all hands when baby arrives! here is the thread you were looking for in case you havent found it http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2306925
MOAM thanks honey and I hope your 'events' all go to plan and are enjoyable.
carlsberggrannan (((hugs))) babe - I know how you are dreading this - like all the service parents -unfortunately he is doing what he wants to do and you wont change that - God bless him and keep him safe for you and TAG's bruv, FFP's DSS and all the other lads and lasses out there.

hex well done for dealing with your eyesight and for your prompting(((hugs)))
ajmoney thats brilliant news - it's especially nice to hear about a NQT being treated well after sexy's outrageous treatment. I really hope that it all comes together for him and (((hugs))) to you for being such a lovely supporting partner.
piggers thats brilliant that DS3 likes his room - what a relief for you. remember you promised to rest once you got his room done!!! I would go for a mirror!
Triker - exciting to be getting new windows but I am seriously worried about what work you will have to do in preparation - I do not want you exhausted!!!! You only need to make access to the windows - you dont have to do major clearing out of the rooms - it will give you the chance for more decluttering and its another step towards the bedroom haven!!!
Greenbee thanks for being a star and forwarding our messages to sandy- it has taken a lot of your time and we really appreciate it.
Please send my love to sandy - we are all holding her in our thoughts and wishing her and her family well.
I have to agree with piggers - Sandy none of us like being in hospital but if they are trying to resolve your problems then please be patient honey and stay a bit longer - there are at least people about should you need them and it can be very miserable at home when you have a major problem - remember how alone you felt before this happened ? Once you know what you are dealing with please please ask for support and keep asking until you get it - you cant handle this on your own. (((hugs)))
juliejim awh how lovely and what a good weight - Congratulations auntie jue xx
hex that is disgusting and he is def old enough to deal with it. keep it for him! (((hugs))) for you and coping vibes too xx
holly (((hugs))) and keep strong - IMHO he needs to learn that he has to cope with the consequences of his actions.
notso I love the description of your Dh and well done in training him in the MSE financial ways:T

Thank you for the lovely wishes for my Confirmation - I am looking forward to it but a bit nervous as there will be about 200 in the congregation! it will be a lovely day as nearly all my friends will be there (Toxic has not been invited).

ok as its so late I need to go to bed - hope to keep up with you tomorrow - inbetween all the things that still need doing - including chickens:eek:

special love and hugs to LadyL xx

will light a candle for Sandy

love and hugs to everyone - sleep well - stay safe
toots xx

I must say that to my OH. He used to work as a carpet shop delivery driver and used to help the boys with the fitting. You'll know I still have to pay someone to do it as he tells me it's a big job. Wallpapering on the floor:rotfl::rotfl:



Wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo !!! right spill the beans we want all the details and we promise not to tell another soul

Someone I was very close to in my 20s but is 15 years older than me. I completely cut him out of my life about 10 years ago along with a lot of other people to deal with some toxic friends. And walked back in again a month ago... We're re-establishing boundaries.

Drunk mans sober tongue... go on I dare you to ask him a REALLY improper question...

I think he might have made it home as it's now gone quiet... but feel free to suggest some questions for next time...

Age is only a number.. happiness is far more important!

Are those boundaries closing in?

Oh for goodness sake... stop playing games.. invite him round and test run the man... see if he is worth your interest already lol

Listen to the ticking of that body clock woman!

Instead of going home would you like to come here?

Do you need company tonight?

Are you 'up for it'?

I need a [EMAIL="sh@g"]sh@g[/EMAIL], are you busy?

PMSL..

OH suggested 'Can you help me with this clasp?' and 'do you like this underwear/ I bought it specially!'

So pleased to hear you're getting rid of your toxic friends... you've got limited time and energy so spend them on the people who matter

I know NOW that the age doesn't matter - but when I was 19, those 15 years seemed a huge deal... and I think the boundaries are working out nicely thanks... but I'm trying not to over-analyse what may well be drunken ramblings...

There are a few little details to deal with... like he isn't currently single... and although we were close I'm not sure we were that close (although I get the impression now that this might have been down to me)... BUT he has always been a stable and important influence in my life until I !!!!!!ed off in a very childish manner (incidently abandoning him when he probably could have used the support)... There are bridges to build - I'm working on them and then it's up to him how far he wants to take things. However i will NOT get involved while he is still with someone else as I've been there before and it just doesn't work out...

Alternatively there is the option of just using this as an opportunity to deal with the biological clock problem... definitely worth mugging for the genes

You're obviously well suited... :p:p

I might possibly manage to start with 'I need a hug' next time I see him... I don't think I'm quite as fast a mover as you are...

I do wonder whether he'll be quite so sure that he should have sent those texts when he wakes/sobers up... the misspelling gives away the fact that there was drink involved... I have, however, made sure my responses leave the door wide open... but can also always be explained away by the bottle of wine I mentioned I was working my way down in an attempt (failed) to get some work done. I MUST get some work done tomorrow...

pigpen

We are.. but he is slightly more refined than I am.. can you tell?

greenbee

honestly... I finally come up with something for you lot to gossip about and you all b****r off to bed...:cool: You're no fun... and I'm WIDE AWAKE and full of red wine... hours of work ahead of me...

piggers... I can spot the difference, but I'm sure you'll soon have him fully retrained...:p
