    Evening all,

    Finished all other household paperwork, booking, buying and sorting jobs. So much happier with all that. Evening jobs all done, just going to sort WM/TD again.

    Carlsberggal - Waiting patiently vibes for the both of you.
    Triker - Chicken :eek: and school :eek::mad::eek:, hope they are ashamed of themselves when you go in tomorrow.
    AnW - :kisses3:
    Serena - well done for tackling the problem.

    lemanie (((hugs))) not an easy situation but as you so rightly point out she cant queue jump and will have to go her own GP etc I am guessing she has got a fright about the fact it could be genetic but she will get no sympathy for her actions - as the others have said 'ignore her' and yes be very careful what you tell your Mum. You need to control what she knows and or has access to to stop her becoming a toxic influence again - you can do it! (((hugs)))

    Thank you so much :A. Sorry the ebay didn't go so well, it's hard work doing all those listings.

    Tempting, very, very tempting - yes she is, and now she should be afraid, very, very afraid :D:D. Thanks for making me laugh x.

    Bit of evening tootling and small amount of TV before bed methinks. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite, until the morrow

    Hi all
    I've barely skimmed the thread - hugs for Lemanie, Carsberggalgrannan, Triker, anyone else who needs one.

    I won't be on for a few days. My boyfriend's best friend's stepdad was found dead yesterday, so we are going back to Ireland for the funeral early tomorrow morning. No idea what happened to him, he is a soldier and was in Chad last time we were there, but not sure if he was on tour or in Ireland when it happened. My boyfriend is in pieces, as is his friend obviously - his biological dad committed suicide when he was young, and his mum eventually married his stepdad last summer. He has a younger half-brother who is 7, and a step-sister who is 15.

    No flying done, but a lot of crying. I am not having a good time at the moment.

    Argh triker meant to send :mad::mad::mad::mad: to your DD's school, it's scandalous treatment by them, and leaving themselves wide open IMO. Hope you get it sorted quickly.

    Thanks again for all your good wishes. Polly - he got shot in the lower leg yesterday, has had one operation and is waiting for a flight to come home to have another operation at the military hospital in Birmingham. I've just been told there isn't a flight tonight, so I'm gutted. Maybe one tomorrow or if not it will be thursday x


    I hope he's back soon so you can see him for yourself. Sending you wishes for his speedy recovery. My DS is in the RAF but I'm lucky that he hasn't been sent anywhere dangerous, though I still worry that he will be one day.

    Sending you "coping wishes" too Carol :(
