    Pooky,
    I am partial to a nice tidy bikini area, what can I say?!!?!

    I agree about the asian therapists and my friend has just taken a sugaring course (but doesnt do brazilians-the style, not the people of brazil) which is what I have.

    Did you get the job?

    Thanks. I'm plodding on with the spring clean rather than dwelling.

    Won't find out about job until next week.

    (((hugs)))

    I like you x

    Thanks Bun. I had a big cry and snotted and snivelled all down Hubbles' shirt. Usually makes me feel better but still feeling blah, but less like I'm about to explode...

    Hugs to Luc....anything specific you're not liking at the moment that we can help you with?

    I just don't like myself for not being able to cope with what is my job - looking after N and the house. I can't even look after myself properly !!!!!!.

    Did you find out why OH asked about the cider the other night BB or did I miss it?

    he turned up with a yellow stickered box of Strongbow (1 was missing) and a yellow stickered box of Guinness (1, possibly 2 missing). Tesco are doing 3 packs for £21 at the moment. His son works at Tesco at weekends/uni holidays on wines and spirits and called to say there was some reduced he was putting out. He (DS) wanted a pack of yellow stickered Carlsberg so OH went up there and got the 3 packs. Added together and with the discount it took them to £4 each. I said thankyou and he just grunted and then tutted very loudly that 'there was more cans in the box of Magners than he had in his box of Guinness'.............

    So, a very MSE related gesture (his son is a good lad!) but OH couldn't be gracious about what he'd done and refused any offer of sharing the box of cider.

    Oh well........lots of cider for me :D

    Luc - I wish I was closer to help :( I always find a nice cold flannel on my face for 5 mins, followed by bucket loads of moisturiser help after a good cry (some paracetamol and a pint of water help too).

    I'm sure you're doing a fab job with N, he always looks so happy in the picutres on FB. And don't discount the fact that you've had to deal with a naff situation with "so called" friends this week, I don't know many people that would have been brave enough to tackle that head on like you did.

    Luc,
    Do you have one of those lists - 10 things I like about Luc. I have one on a postcard that I use as a bookmark. Helps me get through grim days when I feel a bit useless

    I've nearly spent my clothing budget for the year today getting a dress from Boden. Very orange.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
