Double Trouble but twice as nice

You did mention that you were a Solicitor in a previous life? I have never met a poor one - might it be worth considering resurrecting that career? With Law qualifications and good numeracy skills, you should have a better chance than most at becoming seriously rich!

Also DT, you seem a very caring and principled person.
Sadly, in my experience - rarely are they in it for the greater good.
I think if you sit quietly and don't look so hard, the answer is probably right under your nose x

I like colouring too - probably why I teach Sunday School.

macgirl - I know the Law makes sense but I hated the job enjoyed the degree though and I vowed never to return


I need to see what is under my nose????????????? I have my thinking cap on

Sorry i know this is way off the current topic but I am catching up on your diary. These posts jumped out at me. You say that you loved doing your degree, (hated the job) that you love working with people and you like numbers. This might sound odd but have you thought about teaching? You could maybe teach law college or sixth form. Also there are lots of jobs that having a degree in law would be useful in. I also wondered, given that you are a foster carer if you have thought about advocacy. Can you set up a consultancy that helps vulnerable people etc. Not sure if there would be a lot of money in it but it sounds to me as if you are best placed helping people and having a law degree would be very useful in lots of ways. I may be barking up the wrong tree because I am not sure what your law degree specialised in.
Sorry if I have overstepped the mark here.

Am loving the clothes chat! At the moment I am coveting THIS LITTLE BEAUTY. I know it might not be to many people's taste, but I :heartpuls *sigh*

This is beautiful - if I had the body (which I might have actually but a bit too much of at the moment).

DT, great clothes and well done Souk. Might be in touch in the New Year.

Today is the day of the Inquest having finally managed to extract the details from DD we have to be there by 10 but no indication when it will start or how long it will last just that it won't start before 10.

Thinking of you DT.

Thank you for the kind messages it has been a strange day.

Inquest started about 10.15 and thankfully ours was first it was in a formal setting but the deputy coroner called us down to sit right in front of her whilst the police and the pathologist gave evidence so they spoke quite quietly to us rather then to the assembled public at large. She was lovely but got very annoyed with one family who were waiting their turn who were talking during the evidence when they didn't stop she had them evicted :eek:
She was especially lovely with DD and her partner and made it very clear that the death was from natural causes (strep B infection in three places) and that there was nothing they did and nothing they didn't do which would have made a difference.

Obviously upsetting but another step dealt with and one which they were dreading so all in all it was OK.

Her partner had to go back to work but DD came home with us and we have spent all day making crystal christmas tree ornaments for the pamper evening which was lovely and we have done really well she was such a help would have been a mammoth task without her and so much nicer to do it together.:T:T

The bad bit of the day was my OS. At the weekend when I was Souk I had a message from my OH to say that some random stranger had jumped on his back whilst he was out in Cardiff and he had fallen awkwardly and been taken to hopsital. They discharged him saying he had strained his knee. I spoke to him last night and he was still suffering so I told him to go to the doctors he went this morning and was sent back to hospital. They have now admitted him and are going to do a MRI scan tomorrow and he may have to have surgery. I was all ready to go down there and then but the doctor suggested I wait until he has had the scan don't like him being so far away:(

So need to get all stuff done tonight so I can go down tomorrow.

It never rains but it pours :mad:

Just baked banana muffins with the kids using the recipe on the 2009 grocery challenge thread all cups of this and tablespoons of marg which I don't like feels a bit hit and miss prefer good old ounces or grams they looked fine but they taste of nothing

DT, I'm glad the inquest was helpful and non-blaming ... how astonishing to have that family evicted!!! Certainly soundslike they needed it.

And you have more hospital trouble ....... OS ... older son? Sorry. You have such a lot on your plate at the moment, I think you're coping so well - we've been prattling happily about clothes for ages, and this has been lurking in the background for you, and now something else too, the same day.

Hope you manage to get everything done that you need to.

DT, glad today went ok for you and DD, sorry to hear about DS though.
I have a muffin book which give 'correct' measurements - Muffins, Fast & Fantastic. If you ever need a recipe for muffins, just ask. I really must make some banana muffins or bread as I have a severe glut of them in the freezer.

The latest on the OS front and yes it is oldest son KC is that he has had the MRI scan but won't get the results until tomorrow but they still think at the moment he needs surgery. They are going to send him home tonight with a knee brace and something else to help him weight bear and then ring him tomorrow about the scan. He has spoken to the surgeon and they only operate every two weeks and the day is tomorrow which is full so he won't have the op until the wednesday before Christmas and will probably be discharged christmas eve:eek: so we are going to make a decision tomorrow as to whether I go and get him tomorrow and bring him home and take him back for the op or whether he stays in Cardiff - the other option would to get him transferred up here but I think Cardiff is probably a better hospital for this type of thing and he likes the surgeon but recovery will take months and he is a big lad so that won't help what a pain in the posterior or in this case the knee:(

Feel so helpless up here would rather be down there but he wants to deal with it and I can understand that but I have said I will definitely be there when he has his op.

Don't know what to say really about the inquest. Something that just had to be got through; but it probably brought a lot back.

As for your DS, hope he's OK. What sort of accommodation does he live in when at Uni, surely he would be better with you while waiting for the op if he has to have one.

He is in a shared house. I would rather he came home but obviously he would miss his friends it has to be his decision

Ouch to DS knee - but am sure he will want to stay with his friends in the run up to Christmas.
