    Silvermaid - hugs to you and your family x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Morning All,

    It is a beautiful sunny day here.

    Silver - I am so sorry to hear of your loss
    Jannyannie - Stripping woodchip, no fun. Put some music on, turn it up loud. Hopefully it will soon be done.

    So tired this morning as I have managed to do 2 x 4 hours shifts at work this week. I know that isn't much but have been able to work for about 6 months and this is a shock to the system.
    Will get some washing in before I go to work, unfortunately don't have a garden in which to dry the washing so usually end up tumble drying it on the plus side most things don't need ironing.

    Have a great day

    Morning All,

    Silver so sorry to hear of your sad loss you and your family will be in my thoughts today, take care hun x
    NPM Hope your feeling better today

    Just had a quick shower and about to have brekkie. Today I will be back to job hunting but in between I need to get the washing out. Its sunnyish so going to risk the washing line.

    Didn't get back on yesterday. We have a few little jobs to do before my son arrives next Wednesday so had a busy day, evening and need to nip to Ikea this evening for a new quilt and bedding to finish his room off. DH keeps saying he won't notice whats been done and what hasn't but I will know:cool: plus I want the house to be nice for his GF as well.

    Tea tonight will be chilli and rice with spicy wedges and need to make sultana biscuits and choc chip cookies to fill the tins up.

    Have a happy Thursday, off to catch up with Kerry Katona while I eat breakfast shhhhhhh its my guilty secret J x:D

    Silver My heart goes out to you. At least you were able to be with your Mum a wee while before she died and to have the memory of her saying she loved you, and to last see her sleeping peacefully.....that will help in the days to come. I feel your pain as it's not that long ago I lost my Mum. I pray that you get through the next wee while ok and have support from friends and family.

    TiredMum Well done you on getting a job. I hope it goes well for you, and that you work with nice people.

    Been surfing the net today as had no pC yesterday after getting a virus! Today so far I have made a double batch of wee choc buns and iced them with choc glace icing.
    Can't remember what is for tea as I can't find my meal plan.... somewhere in the kitchen!
    Will get up off me bum in a mo and start cleaning and tidying. Then off to nursery, PO to post ebayed stuff, then up to allotment to clear more weeds!
    Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    ONE HOUR GAP
    Just had an upsetting phone call.
    My elderly mother, who has been poorly for a fortnight, has just passed away. I sat with her yesterday and she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. The last words I heard her speak were 'love you lots'.
    Got to go now x

    Aw Silver I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I am so glad she spoke to you yesterday though xx Sending you lots of hugs xx


    Morning my lovelies :D

    Can you get PMT with mirena? Feeling on the edge of having a really bad strop this morning and don't know why :o Didn't have PMT before the coil so perhaps I am just a moody mare :o:o

    anyway got a list of jobs I need to tackle this week instead of sitting on my 'arris. Why doesn't my motivation remain constant :mad: Honestly it yo-yo's up and down like a rollercoaster at times.
    Tea tonight should be turkey meatballs but not sure I have any turkey.......I wonder if I could make it out of pre cooked chicken breast?? Can't see it sticking together very well :o

    Cranky - Happy birthday present.gif Hope you and the house elf have a lovely day, full of smiles xxx

    tiredmum - well done on the job :T

    lowesy - go jogging ;):p

    Hugs and spoons all round. Have a great day OS or not.
    I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife :D Louise Brooks
    All will be well in the end. If it's not well, it's not the end.
