Mooloo good to see you and that you enjoyed your holiday - brilliant news about rehousing:T - get started on that de-clutter - be ruthless:rotfl:
Dusty Huge Congratulations honey - I knew they would want you.:T:T:T:T:T:T thanks for the 'silent' idea!!!
cyclingyorkie at long last - thank goodness they are taking it seriously now - hope the op/treatment wont be tooo long in coming.
nattyt I will put you on the lurkers list until you pop back. take care.
sammiell you take care of yourself too honey - hope the back improves real soon (((hugs)))
Sarah Joanne the sticks are also used for fling as far as possible in the hope the BD will run to catch it and you can 'lock' them out:rotfl:
msgnomey its great to see you posting - I bet you will be pleased to be in your own bed - now if I catch you anywhere near the windows you will be in trouble:rotfl: I know only tooo well that its frustrating - but be a very good patient - if I remember right mudders got a bit carried away too early in her recovery and it set her back so be a patient patient (((hugs)))Nice to see you posting msgnomeyPlease post as well as lurk, I'm sure that's allowed
likklegibbon hello and nice to have you back - how are things with you? (((hugs)))
AnW'sMum I dont think I gave you permission to have CBA?????????? I might just have to get on my bike and come and sort you:rotfl: now in future you can have CBA on th/Fri but not on the weekend - you really dont want to waste a good day now do you - hows the elephant?????:p
LW thanks for the idea abbout the double profile - I might try that :A as for your day - could you have a lie in when MR is working at home - and maybe have a pj day or even a duvet day with a good book or the TV when he is there? but if thats not poss then as the others have said - take a day off flying and really indulge a passion - whatever your fav hobby is and make sure the meal of the day is easy (a carryout, a microwave surprise just anything that takes no time or effort) - its liking playing hooky from school and the dust will still be there and - its not important in the grand scheme of things - but happiness is (((hugs))) I also think you need to ask Mr to help you do something you want to do in the evening like go to the movies or the theatre or a meal or something for you xx
Curlytop :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T you deserve a medal for perseverance - well done for sticking with it - now try to wipe it everythime you use it and it will never be that bad again - next time the oven is on the list you will fly through it!
Mumto5 hope the muscle eases off and that things improve for DH (((hugs)))Amazon just sent a mail to say my kenwood has been dispatched
Will you be waiting at the gate for the next few days:D
and the single most negative person I work with today said that actually I had listened and had changed things and his job is back to being ok :j
last night was even worse - i think I fell asleep at 4am! so I am tired tonight but at least i should sleep!
had a nice morning and even treated myself to lunch in town and then had some quiet time in the church. I was out at the discussion group tonight which was good.
Unfortunately my carer for tomorrow is ill and they are really short so i wont get shopping tomorrow and she and I were going to have a trawl around the charity shops. nought I can do about it.
will maybe take myself into town again for another little jaunt.
Love and hugs to everyone feeling poorlie or down
Special love and hugs to LadyL and Diva
see you tomorrow - think I had better go crash!
toots xxPeace will be mine
could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

toots I will try to be good honest I will! Had a long nap this afternoon
I have started a shopping list as DD and her bf will go shopping for us on Friday as they are going away for the weekend up to Leeds um that's it on a flying vein!!!Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Things are looking up with this new medication. I feel so much better it is unreal but am trying not to overdo things, it will be interesting to see if I can sleep tonight.
The best thing happened this afternoon, one of the girls sent me a text to ask if she could come round to keep me company? I was very moved by her thoughtfullness and had a lovely afternoon chatting. I am sure my better mood is more from this that the new tablets. My neck is still sore and my head is just a dull ache but OH commented on how bright I looked when he came in today. It is better than a comment from someone at work this morning who said I looked terrible :rotfl: I am not someone who has many friends I can rely on but I was so touched today and really appreciated the thought.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1931.07/£2700

Bleugh.. sorry haven't read through the fred so hugs, cuddles and spoons to anyone who needs them..
Today has been a real struggle for me my mood has gone through the floor and for some reason i am struggling to do anything. My gallstones are still giving me some jip but the depression has taken over big time. This waiting 6/9 flaming months plus tto see a cpn is getting stupid it really is.
Poor little Jinx cat is sick too, had to rush him to the vet this afternoon as he was showing signs of the symptoms he had prior to being kept in for a blocked bladder, fortunately it was only a water infection and after two very expensive injections he is now sleeping soundly and seems a lot happier.
