Good morning everyone.
Hope everyone is ok. I'm sorry I haven't caught up with the thread but remembered lady liberty was going to glastonbury. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Toots Thanks for the advice and support about my son. You are a very wise woman (I am assuming you are a woman:o) We are getting there with him.
I would like to be in again this week but I am struggling with it all. I can't seem to get on top of the cleaning or the lack of money. I'm really worried about how we will manage and that makes me want to just hide away and not do anything.
Sorry for my whinging, many of you have much worse problems but it's nice to have an anonymous moan.You learn to love to liveYou fight and you forgiveYou face the darkest nightJust live before you die0 -
Couldn't get on earlier as internet explorer was being a pain so guessed on the kitchen and made a start.

Carlsberggal fantastic pics
Well after my last post yesterday I'd go and SOFADFA but DS1 decided to rearrange his room and so I went to help and did DS2's as well THEN I went back to my original plan only to discover it was pouring and my washing was out so went and rescued it and stuck it in the TD THEN went back to the orignial plan but everyone was starving so made a pot of soup by the time I made the beds up it was 11pm so never sat on my butt all day:mad:
Have my neice today and my auntie is coming over with some fruit loaf for FiL as he is still not eating and refusing all food in the hospital so I'll try to get him to take some of that it worked the last time he was off his food just hope it works this time cause he is really poorly and we are all worried sick.
Off to make a start in the kitchen while the girls play dollies.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Hi everyone
In the Wolf's Lair today: Quorn sausages and spuds have been cooked and cooling ready for salady type lunch. A little yoga has been done on the Wii (too damned hot for anything more energetic). Negotiations are ongoing to work out how we can tidy the front garden – looks like half an hour after dinner in the evenings, when practical (ie not wet, and not when Mr LW is on late shift). It's an elephant task,:eek: so we'll have to do a bit at a time.
Froddy I'll look forward to the pics of the furbabies.:T
Mumofjusttwo if there's anything I can offer in the way of moral support, I'm only a PM away. Glad to hear that your XH2B has signed what he needs to; divorce is never a cake walk, but there's a friendly paw here to hold whenever you want.:o
Not sure how I'll get on with the kitchen today, as Mr LW's working from home today (so in and out of there like a fiddler's elbow making cups of tea) and finishing at 14:30 (when we have to trundle into town to get his hair cut). But we'll see.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
