    Well it seems that OH is far too busy on the morning of his wedding anniversary to say good morning and kiss his wife :mad: But he left a card.

    Pigpen sorry honey, I think we've got our wires crossed. The source was from a copper, hence the worry with DPA and not wanting to get him sacked. No idea what the !!!!!! on our street does. No one seems to know him

    Lamewolf sorry for upsetting you ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))). I've probably gone on about it too much. I can't speak to anyone about this in RL. I'll shut up now. Sorry :kisses3:

    One wardrobe now emptied and move to DD's room. Said wardrobe is now filled with her clothes. Every room is a complete mess here, so i think i'll get DD's done and then move into the next and keep going that road.:(
    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 :j

    Please don't worry; I cope OK nowadays, insofar as one does; and the perpetrator died in 2005. The important thing is that the kids need to be kept safe. Very worrying that this person lives so close to the school. (((HUGS))) to you mate, and keep-safe vibes for your children.

    ETA Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Newlywed.

    Just a quickie before I declutter my tuna and cucumber rolls :)

    Well I did it, I got to the Dr's for 11am and was out by 11.20am - the smear was not at all as bad as I remember. Although they have changed the procedure now, the thingy is plastic - this did hurt though. And they don't use a wooden scraper now it is a small brush thingy. I didn't even realise this was being done..lol The nurse was brilliant and didn't have a go at me for not going for ages, she understood why I had been putting it off. She also thought that everything, she could see, looked good and healthy, now I have to wait up to 2 months for the test results.

    Thank you too the "flylady army" for being there with me, although I didn't see Piggers being nosy..lol

    Happy Anniversary newleywed :)
    Choccybix hugs honey, what a week for you. Lets hope it gets better.

    LL sends her love, she is still feeling rotten. It takes all her energy to post at the moment so she is resting.
    Toots sweetie, I notice you have packing on your list for Sunday. Are you popping into hospital for the week at all? Major hugs and love :A
    Hugs Diva if you are reading this sweetie, missing your purple:)

    Ok off to declutter the rolls, then popping to my friend T's. Want to pinch some of her rhubarb from her garden, none of her lot eat it but she has loads in the garden :)

    Thanks guys. I'm sat here waiting for him to come home for lunch and he's just sent a text saying his customer made him lunch so he's not coming back.

    So he was too busy earlier to give me a kiss and say happy anniversary and now, when he's working 10 minutes drive away and when he came home for lunch monday, and tuesday - when TODAY is our anniversary - he's not coming back and doesn't know what time he'll be back tonight, which is why he didn't want to go for a meal.

    He's self employed, he chooses his hours. Every other anniversary we've taken the day off and spent it together and this year I'm sat at home on my own, waiting for him and he can't even spare me 5 flipping seconds to give me a kiss :mad:

    To make it worse everyone is sending me happy anniversary have a lovely day messages sad-smiley-046.gif

    Have cleaned the bedroom and bathroom and now feel like finding a sledgehammer and smashing it all up angry-smiley-054.gif
