Afternoon all, been to my maths course this morning and found out that I have PASSED numeracy level 2:T:T Only took me 2 years to do it . Back home now and have decluttered and swept the living room. Dont expect to get much else done today as it is DS2 birthday today and he has now scattered all his new news around the floor( play kitchen, shop, and about a ton of playfood and cups saucer, plates etc:eek:) ohhh and dont forget the drum playmat which is lay out on the floor and he keeps walking on it and setting it off, scaring the dogs who then go crazy for about 5 minutes lol.

afternoon everybody

it was morning when i started this but got interupted.

dreamywings nice to see you again and you 'sound' happier - it was a bit drastic but sometimes thats the only way to deal with situations like that - well done getting another job - you, your health and your family are the most important thing and if this works for you then thats brilliant:T
lil_me me me me!!!! *waves hand in the air furiously* I missed you but then the FB ladies were able to tell me at the weekend you had been on there so i was happy that things were ok. ooooooh er missus 11 days without BB - scary thought!!! but it would have made you shut off and relax and thats what holidays are about - good to have you posting again xx
Diva how lovely to see you posting sweetie. hope you can keep the nausea under control. Thanks for the tips about the dahlias - I have just this minute remembered i got a gift token for Dobbies for my confirmation so i could get some bulbs or a nice shrub.

have done some dailies and I am just going to put out some washing as its beginning to look brighter now.

had a scary moment at lunchtime when something went down the wrong way and i was coughing and couldnt breathe but I am ok now but may have a wee nap as it always tires me out.

will go do stars first.

Almost.. I have sewn together 4 cardies for Squeak so have barely moved today..

The bed has arrived but it appears the room has shrunk by 15cm so it will have to go round the other way unfortunately.. unless somebody knows of a single divan bed that comes in 2 halves! I'm not sure we can fit all her tut back in now though
