    overuse of the exclamation mark there!

    I'm told its a sign of a particular type of frustration.

    Bag sorted mostly..

    KH was text an hour ago to ask what time he is coming for the children.. no reply.. shocker!! .. DD1 is refusing to go with him and wants to come with me.. but she is 15 so I don't feel I should make her go with him if she doesn't want to!.. But, I want a weekend off.. I have them stuck to me all next week I just want a break!

    I have yelled at them to get dressed about 1000 times and noone is yet! Filmms/computers off I think!

    then they can strip their own beds!

    Cupboards are all back in the boys room but there are 5 boxes of crap in the bathroom, 1 on the landing and 3 in DD2's room... and 1 in mine!

    DS1 woke us up at 6am suitably over excited. Too cold and wet for our planned day out so we need to think of something else. He wants a shop cake not one of mine :eek:.
    He'll grow out of it... eventually. And great advice to sexymouse.
    Morning

    I have been in touch with Sandy she has had her Chemo tablet, she is obviously worrying about side-effects......but I have been able to reassure her a little I think......she is now starting to worry about me using my energy up on her....so I see that as a positive breakthrough :D

    I have told her everyone sends their love & prayers & she says thankyou :A

    xx
    So pleased to hear that. I've had a text for you all:

    Movement is back today. Had my chemo and think I am starting to feel the effects already and reality is kicking in.

    I am saving all your comments to send as texts to her every hour or so, which hopefully will help to keep her spirits up (or entertain her... and no, I'm not sending that quote from AnW's mum :p:p)

    Sorry to hear about Gemma Julie. It sounds as if she went peacefully in her sleep.

    Had a migraine this morning, so skipped the gym and had a lie-in seeing as its pouring with rain outside. I've only been up for about an hour, so need to get dressed before a freegler comes to collect paving stones (she says she didn't realise how far away I was... surely that's what the location on the offered post is supposed to communicate???)

    Hope to get some flying done today... and a walk later...

    DS went out to feed Gemma yesterday teatime and she had died so that was a big shock for him as the other 2 had died at the vets. So me and the kids just lay on my bed having a cuddle and watching a dvd last night which is why I didn't get on. DH has buried her in the garden and the kids want to go out and by a plant today to put there.
    So sorry to hear that, hugs to you all.

    Sexymouse glad you're feeling happier, sounds like you had a tough time there and the Head doesn't sound very nice.

    Boddy Thats awful news about your DD's step mom, I hope she is ok, sending hugs to her.

    Toots I hope you have a lovely confirmation day and I hope you and your visitors have a lovely weekend together.

    Julie sorry to hear about Gemma

    Greenbee Thank you for the updates, send her my love and tell her the nutters (I mean flyladies) are all thinking about her and sending her lots of positive if not a little nutty vibes :)

    And to everyone else who needs them hugs and get well vibes xx
