Triker Happy Birthday:bdaycake:
Dusty thanks you for the birthday wishes for Rhys.
Big hugs to all that need them, i haven't had a chance to catch up with the thread at all. I hope everyone is well.
Haven't done too badly this week eventho i haven't had a look at the lists until now.
Sorry i've been MIA, things just got abit much here. I was driving up the motorway to lift hubby and the police car in front started flashing there lights and then went to pull in. Me panicking thinking what have i done wrong pulled up behind them. So looked for license and i could see the man putting on his hat. Found my license and looked up, man standing at window, he asked if i'm ok. It was the flipping highway maintance.:o
How stupid did i feel.:rotfl:So decided i needed to sort a few things out and get myself organised and flying would have to take abitof a back seat.
Everything good here now, DD is now in her bedroom, hubby doing well and stable, bath and toliet now in and tiling should start next week.:j
Glass woman has messed up our order, we've already waited 5 weeks so i hope i've sorted her out and glass should be here next week or i'm away to trading standards.:mad:Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

Hi Ladies
Thank you all for being there with me, it helped my bravado and it means a lot to me :A:T
My appointment was 10.25 and I never got taken until 11.00 so was a nervous wreck by that time. :eek: Of course as soon as I sat in the chair I started blubbing. I told the doc everything and have been diagnosed with clinical depression, she thinks it might have been since my DH had his car accident last year so I have tablets and to go back in 3 weeks to see how I am doing. She says its no quick fix but a gradual process and she says the tablets are not addictive. So there you go, no need for you to hold your ears
Flying wise - have decluttered many tearsoh an JINKY I FINISHED MY OVEN LAST NIGHT.
Triker :bdaycake: have a nice day x:TGratitude is the best Attitude :T
