    evening everyone

    its turned out another lovely day here.

    pigpen glad the scan went ok and squeak behaved!
    jinky I am not sure if the travelling would go for me or not but the problem is I am not meant to be in confined spaces with a lot of people - for fear of infection - a cold or whatever would finish me! thats why i thought 1st class rail might be quieter - i am not allowed to fly because its recycled air as well as being with loads of other peole and their germs!
    grateful (((HUGS))) for your friend - at least she is out of the marriage and get on with her life now.
    onestep ssshhhhhh dont mention Hay on Wye - i know all about it because it has loads on antique shops - I would need to be there for a month I think!!!!:rotfl:
    boddy hope your earache goes away quickly - I hope DB and SiL are making progress.
    Dorastar hope your DD gets over her bug very soon.

    got all the bedding and clothes washed and on the line today - it is quite mild here tonight.

    had a nap in the afternoon so kinda lost the momentum - so I am off to try and do something now so i dont feel i have lost the whole day.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

  • Thanks, Toots. I'm going to ring her later. Examples of his behaviour include;
    calling her at 3am drunk to get a lift home on a work night
    a series of girls texting her to say they've slept with him and "thought she should know"
    not earning any money yet constantly moaning about how they should get a better car/TV/stereo.
    eta wm on again and dw!

    Evening ladies:D


    Flying has been pretty minimal again, loads of study done again though. Plus i gutted my car and cleaned it inside and out. It is now super shiny:T

    Can't remember who asked about LO, she was a bit better today, she still said it was a bit sore but she wore it all day and i checked her back when i took it off and no red areas.

    Hugs mumto5, hope you are ok.

    Hugs to anyone else who needs them:A

    Tea decluttered, I realised I haven't actualy properly cooked anything for ages it seems. I don't know what I've been eating but there is something very therapeutic about standing next to the stove stirring something.

    Going to take DD2's friend home in a mo and get myself organised for the weekend.

    Binned and scraped plates and filled a binbag full of rubbish.

    Am trying to work out an easy recipe to use up a load of eggs I've aquired.:D

    May do a mammoth baking sesh...trouble is my legs are rubbish today, like lead weights....:o
