Morning all
Posting and dashing as per usual for a Thursday.
I was busy yesterday and then last night I was so :mad: I would not have been able to post straight, all I shall say is toxic it would seem has turned truly TOXIC :eek: am awaiting concrete evidence to confirm new enhanced status!
And on that note I had better skidaddle to work.

Morning everyone.
Been busy lately, garden now taking shape. Just wish the rain would go away so i could get more done.
We've had really low water pressure here for a few days so when the DW is on the WM can't, so washing being caught up very slowly.
All appointment this morning, Rhys to get his hearing test done and DD to get her new hearing aids (she is so excited).
Big hugs to all that need them, quite a few it seems, hopefully things will improve soon.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 -

No flying done, can I declutter some feelings instead? My week so far:-
Monday: Fell out with best friend - cried all afternoon
Tues: Had heart-to-heart with best friend - more crying
Tues eve: Had car accident - cried for 3 hours
Weds: Found out theres a pedophile in my street - angry all evening :mad:
Only found out about the Weds incident because my friends DD & friend (both 6) were seen going into this mans house. Friend went round straight away and got them. After speaking to someone 'in the know' it was discovered this man is well-known to the police. Worst thing is, he lives in spitting distance to the school, I have friends who's kids walk past his house everyday and I'm not allowed to tell anyone because its off the record :mad::mad::mad: I dont know if I can take much more of this week, I can't wait for it to be overI need direction to perfection...0 -
