    But it isn't raining!! lol

    My back is agony today so I guess clearing DD1's bookshelves is kind of out of the question.. Doesn't mean I cannot delegate stair vacuuming though :D AND bed stripping!!

    Love and hugs to Sandy, Pooh and JJ.. and everyone else.. just be careful with my back!! lol

    Off to dress the grubs.. fill holes in the kitchen.. load DW.. delegate stair vacuuming and bed stripping and demand everyone brings smelly laundry down to be washed. I should be able to manage 6 loads before we go later.. :D

    Hi, I am just coming out of lurkdom once more ( this is the second time. hope its not an annoying habit to you all) to say Thank You Lady-Liberty for your update on Sandy. I always come to read the thread though I rarely post. I do join in with the cleaning though lol and it has helped me enormously, especially the HHC's :) I hope its ok to say that I pray for all who are poorly or have problems.... boy I hope that doesn't offend anyone or make you think I am some religious nut, I'm not honestly.

    we don't care even if you are.. you are offering support to another human being is that not what religions teach us? To love one another and be nice decent human beings ourselves? It is the teaching of MAN and MANS interpretations that twist religion into a vile thing.

    We are all grateful of any support or love offered.. Thank you.. and stop lurking it is quite unbecoming.. you must jump in and join us in our daily ramblings!

    Morning all (just),

    Thanks for the lovely supportive comments as always. I'm very pleased that I worked at that school, because as you say, I now have fabulous collection of "real life friends", and because the school is so close, they are all easy to meet up with, as they all live nearby. I also had a fantastic class, who I will miss lots, and lovely parents who were also really supportive. I qualified, and have learnt that I can do a lot more than I thought I could - I've stood up to bullies, worked as hard as I could, and managed to cope with the pressure without cracking up too badly. I'm also pleased that the next time I see the doctor, I should be able to start being weaned off the medication, as my life will be much healthier when I go back to supply. The job has also made me appreciate everything I have in life - supportive friends (both online and in real life), an OH who is prepared to put up with my ranting, do the housework and cooking when I've needed him to (without too much complaining), and a family who care about me.

    I slept like a log last night and didn't get up until 10.30 this morning, so I feel a lot better today, and feel like I'm now starting a much happier new chapter of my life now.

    Thank you again to all of you for your support - you've seen me through my PGCE and all of my training to qualify, and I can't tell you how much I've appreciated having you all here.

    Love to you all,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hi thanks forall the posts about my cat. It is nought compared with what sandy is going through.

    I also felt a bit bad because I posted about it and then the internet went off.:o

    Please send sandy my best wishes greenbee. I am still praying like mad for her.

    DH is still not well and won't see the doctor. I thought telling him about everything else might make him see sense but it hasn't worked.

    Bank account updated. Slightly new system introduced tfor DS - I allocate his pocket money, subtract the ACTUAL mobile phone bill and he can have the rest transferred - might, just might making him realise how much he is WASTING

    Money shuffled and CC card payments made
