    ....OH has decided to take packed lunch into work in an effort to save money - only problem is he eats SO much. So I'm going to be making cakes this afternoon in an effort to fill him up....

    How about some Twinks? Oats are slow release, so may keep him full for longer ;)

  • Lowesy sorry about your news:( hopefully they will find a cause and be able to help. Don`t lose heart, my cousin had a similar problem and had 3 M/C on the trot but then went on to have her son and daughter so there is hope:A
    Bitsy yes I know, the men in my dreams are dreadful:eek:, and I certainly don`t do men in suits, it is not for me at all:rotfl:. One day I may get a dream about Enrique Iglesias ( con un poco de suerte;))although knowing my luck it will be his father:rotfl:. Glad to hear you found your threads:T:eek:.....I was considering having coil fitted but all these stories keep putting me off:cool:

    Sorry to hear your sad news Lowesy - even though you didn't know you were pg, it must still be such an upset - hope all's well soon. :grouphug:
    Morning went pear-shaped - DS1 rang at 7am & asked me to have DGS today, so mad rushing around with an extra child, just gone to nursery school, baby in bed, DS3 being a right pest, no time to bake cos of set-backs, dunno what's for tea & it's STILL raining...aargh!! :mad:
    OK, deep breath - there's sausages to use up, few Jerseys, if I get a tin of beans will do us all, plenty yoghurt & fruit. Rain - so what? - will do spuds good; can bake tonight; DGS goes home at 5, DS3 bed at 7. Wow - I sorted out my problems just like that!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi gang, Just lost a post might be me I have been known to pust the wrong buttons sometines!:D

    Sorry for not being on much lots of "navel gazing", deep nights of the soul and other "grown up" stuff going on. Still no nearer any conclusions though:( Sometines I think we think too much. Anyway, thats for another day.(lucky you)

    Just wanted to send loads of love to Lowsey and her DH. Sweetheart I know exactly what you are going through. We have been there and got the t shirt. All I want to say is please try to be kind to yourselves and take time to recover. Also i f you can talk to each other-I tended to bottle things up and didn't talk to anyone & thats never great.(HTH)
    Will remember you in my prayers.

    Its so loud here I can hardly think. Some people a few doors up are having a drive built and there are workmen lowering the kerb quite why they are making so much noise I dont know(we have double glazing and even with that I have had to turn the radio up)

    Anyway, tea is oven baked courgette and lemon risottto. Dead simple but very yummy. Might bake later not sure. Last night was the first decent nights sleep in over a week(was up most of Monday)

    HUGS to all hope everything is going well with you and yours.

    PM box is still full:o:o:o-some things never change.

    Pen-Pin!! JWard, JackieG, LadyGrim. Cranky, (((HUGS)))

    NPM so glad that DS got to Spain safely. Try to have a rest.

    As for Nick Clegg PHOWA........I would:D:D I only do men in suits:rotfl:(sorry )


    Am going to sort the back bedroom boxes a bit as it's the furthest from the noise.

    Have a great afternoon and take care,

    Ann xxxx
