    Thank yous all coming here always replaces the smile on my face! By the way the face is much better still waiting for some of the pigment to come back - but I am a maybelline coated dream at the moment.
    Anyhoo just glad the burns were small god knows what I would have done if it was my whole face. For the rest of the day my theme tune is: Doris Day Keep Smiling

    Oh no he didn't! M&P big hugs - my OH managed to not do anything at all for my 30th so I kindly returned the favour. It took him three months to get me a B'day present - he claimed he thought that I was upset about getting older so that is why he didn't bother. My ar*e.
    Big hugs, wish I was there to give you a real one though!

    hello all.

    NLID can I bother you again for a minute? I have set up some links to other pages I am/will be building. They are working fine but I want them listed across the top of the page. I am really struggling to space them out. Any ideas?

    As far as the debts go, keep ya chin up I have come to the conclusion that if I have tried my hardest and it isn't good enough then tough. The judge will always go in your favour if you can prove you have tried.

    Cheers :) xxx

    Hi all.
    Still no doctors appointment, so struggling. Have run out of almost everything now but the receptionists couldn't care less as I missed an appointment. Think advocacy have the same view, too scared to contact them again.

    Just took puppy to the vets, on the medication he is much better and could have two years left if he's lucky. It costs £100 every 3 weeks, though, and my income works out at about £85 a week.

    Am still waiting to hear back about the course but hopefully that'll happen tomorrow and give me something to look forward too and live for.

    NLID - Great news about Egg, and I hope you get the rest sorted.
    Baby - Lovely to hear you are feeling good :)
    Munchki - I'm glad your date went well, it sounds lovely
    Hi everyone else. I might be lurking for a while...just don't feel like talking. Or anything, really. Feel fed up with everything...just wanted to check in.

    Saucy why can't they do repeat prescriptions from the doctors.
    Email advocacy and say you have been struggling to keep appointments but you would still like their help. the whole point of advocacy is to help people who struggle in dealing with services so they should understand that you may struggle to access theirs sometimes. If you email you don't have to physically speak to someone and you can see what their response is.
    big hugs to all who need them. will catch up properly this evening.
    P.S I've been loving all the "just for today" lists and really nice to hear from you Dilli.

    Hey saucy huge hugs!!

    NLID - i'm not certain what I need tbh, but your site is looking really kool!! :) I am loving the colour picker that has been my biggest problem so far so thanks for that :D If you look at the bottom of this page where all the book marks are all in a line and properly spaced out that is what i am trying to do and failing miserably lol

    the sites not doing to badly - still throwing it together but am getting there - think now its just a matter of writing the content, getting links to it and building its traffic up come next.

    just deciding which of my tools to tidy up and upload next....
