    Just thought I would say (in case any of you lovely mse'rs are Ofsted inspectors) that while I am happy not to see you this week as we are a tad busy, you are of course most welcome to our lovely little school and we will only be too glad to supply you with endless piles of [STRIKE]useless[/STRIKE] useful policies and paperwork now that you have granted us the 6 weeks holiday to [STRIKE]create[/STRIKE] perfect them.;)

    (Just covering all eventualities as you never know who is reading!)

    You had me sniffling earlier with the story about the rabbit, Kate, best thing you could have done for it though:A

    Glad we managed to cheer you up yesterday, but there's a lesson in there for you as well. You need some time for yourself as well as trying to do everything else.

    Take care

    I've taken your advice fully on board and have spent this evening laid on the sofa catching up on the soaps, while DH cooked me tea - thank god the footie is over and life can get back to normal!

    Today was also a NSD, so that takes me to 7 so far.

    Off to bed now, night all! xx

    Webitha (((((big hugs))))) so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog, hope you are hanging in there & we are all here to support you.

    Katenut, cried soooo much about the rabbit story

    Dora - great news about Ofstead!! :T

    Boult - do tell did they take their boots off?

    No NSD to report today, tried really hard but is the 3 year anniversary of my best friends death, so coped by by smoking 10 cigs (currently a reformed smoker & they didn't help by the way) & popping to the local for a drink, which just made me show myself up by sobbing in public, think i need a better plan for next year!!!!
    But i guess at least she made herself known by taking my mind off the DIY for a day, god bless her.
    Am hoping another cry & some sleep will put me back on track for tomorrow, & that i get a better coping strategy for next year...
    RIP Karol, i miss u soooooo much xxx

    well i only managed 1 nsd this weekend and that was yesterday, did go shopping but HIM paid :j:j

    sat was a complete wash out, we had takeout and booze, lots and lots of booze, because we had to have our 16yr old dog PTS, she was starting to suffer, and it would have been cruel to keep her just for our sakes, its hurts like hell espesh coz we have had her since she was only 6 weeks old :(:(:(:(


    So very very sorry to hear about your dog Webitha :grouphug::grouphug: I lost my 19 year old collie cross recently so really feel your pain

Started off well with petrol and leccy but then I came home before going off to the market and nodded off :eek: feel better for the rest but it means I missed the market where I needed a couple of bits from I was going to do all this tomorrow when I'm meeting up with a friend but as she has promised me lunch I thought I'd do it all today then can just relax tomorrow oh well :p will have to try harder

    Don't need to say anything Spoon, just helps to post it on here, have had all the gump about it getting easier & too true i've done well to build up a new support network, but nothing will be the same as having someone who knows me as well as i know myself.....
    Next month has to be easier (& tidier), surely????
