    No problem hun-just glad to see you back-we were worried about you, please don't rush with my site if you need some time out, thats more important at the moment. And you are appreciated anyway you big muppet :rotfl::)


    I know what you mean about being scared to succeed -I feel a bit like that with the PR stuff-I was disappointed that the local papers didnt pick up on it but also slightly relieved-stupid eh? Still -onwards and upwards and sod everyone, I'm going to be rich and unfamous instead :-)

    Nixi-Evenstar is also called Tracey so its probably her

    Thanks hon! Sorry Evenstar!! I need to work harder and convince you about PR!!!!

    Sorry DD decided she wanted to play the Mr Men game!!!

    wow Dilli....

    Okay as far as OH goes.... I would simply tell him that he is not doing enough round the house and that from now on you are dealing with your own mess.

    Men are definatly products of their mothers..... My OH tried to get me to be like his mum. SHe used to get up at 5am just to make his sandwiches becuase he didn;'t like them in the fridge overnight.... You can imagine my reaction to that request!!

    Sounds like you need some real space (house wise I mean!). When are you getting your spare rooms back? That in itself will probably help....

    Babymoo - yay....good to have you back!

    Amber - way to go on the flight!!

    Off to do tea! DS is not happy as DD and I are veggie but DD and OH eat meat so when OH is away I don't tend to cook meat. I think the caveman in him is rebelling, he keeps asking when Sunday is for his roast dinner! LOL!

    Well I'm pooped - 4 hours walking around Edinburgh Zoo :rotfl:.

    Managed to save £6 on the ticket price by not donating to the gorillas (sorry but the prices are very high and I already sponser an animal) and by using student IDs. Still £24 for 2 people tho (the baby got in free)

    College tonight :(

    Read the other thread - bitter doesn't quite cover it!

    NLID - Sorry I was trying to be helpful, at least people are reading the thread and talking about it. And Sunshine was right - your reply was very tactful and not in the least bit antagonistic -I was very impressed!
