    NPM - (((hugs))) my DS2 has a good friend whose sister is autistic and school got to be so stressful and traumatic that they took the step of home-schooling with some help from a tutor. The girl concerned is a teenager now and been out of school for a a few years I think. Might be worth considering. x x

    Hi Y'all,

    We've had some wet stuff falling from the sky this morning, in the emids. I've Googled it, and it's called 'rain', pronounced as you spell it :D

    I'm off out to the local Harvester tonight on a works get-together, but I've had to cook the Mathlettes dinner and leave plated up in the fridge, so not a complete night off!

    I'm having a fairly easy week though in preparation for a manic weekend. It's one of the Mathlettes birthdays and I'm helping Mum and Dad move from one property to another. Dad is having a bypass in two weeks (which is more than Boston will ever get!!!). Mum is the same weight and strength as an anorexic sparrow and I've got a 20yr back problems, so it should be fun. My sister is coming over from the states the week after they move (thanks sis:p) Never mind, at least they only have the one grand piano!!!

    Half-term break at the coast to look forward to with two of the Mathlettes and assorted school chums, so they can do all the work while I lay about eating M&M's and watching Murder She Wrote:cool:

    ((HUGS)) to all

    MATH x

    Just thought I would post again today.

    RedRuby, Esmf, Gintot, BB, Tappers, Tiredmum, Rosie, NPM, Bitsy RosyRed, - thank you so much for your good wishes for today. I didn't cry at all and I think your thoughts helped. Thanks again xxx

    JackieO – lots of finger crossing for your SIL.

    HH- it appears to me that you need to develop a hide as thick as a rhino’s to work at that place with your bu$$er! Good luck.

    Esmf – have said a little prayer for your MIL x Hugs for the strength to get through the next week or so x x

    Bramble – good luck with your winter store, reminds me of a squirrel x x Enjoy t3sco direct & Mozzies when you get there.

    BB – 2 Math A-levels back to back !!!! no wonder he feels stressed. Good luck to him, and keep feeding him brain food x

    Tappers – hope things start working out better for DS1. (p.s. What does YS mean?)

    Rosie – I cannot bear the EDL and the like. I pray you and your family are always safe at home, in your neighbourhood and wherever you want to go x x Well done on the bread

    NPM - so sorry about your day yesterday x x x Hope things improve soon x x

    Bitsy – be brave and have a go. I want to see a photo posted on here x Good Luck. Sorry about Daisy.

    JackieO – congrats on the essay – well done x

    RosyRed – your spread sounds delish!

    Flutterby – hugs xx



    Anniestar – lots and lots of hugs. The things you are going through are just as “real” as the loss of my mother to me. Your feelings are just as valid as mine x x I too went through a time when I found it impossible to leave the house. Take baby steps and stop criticising yourself. Praise yourself for all the important things you do in the day – getting up, making doctor’s appointments, xx

    Thanks again for all the support, Silver x

    Silver - hugs going your way from me.

    re: winter store, i pretty much go into hibernation from November to February..no one sees me, and all my friends know it's hiberation time for me! So i plan to make the house as snuggly and well stocked as possible so i go out even less! :)

    Home from work, the day went SO quickly, I had my lunch, then look at the clock and it was twenty past four!! Waiting for OH to confirm if he needs picked up not before I head out, i don't want my shopping to be interrupted! Plus pup has been home today, so don't want to abandon him again straight away!

    Got a letter from my debt i want to pay off this year, i need to re check it but i'm sure they offered me a 25% discount for settling up in one lump! so instead of paying off little extra bits each money i'm going to save a 25% lump sum and pay it off that way! well impressed :)

    flutterby - shame that decision has been made for you but perhaps this is a blessing and that you'll find somewhere even better to live after August ;)

    Annie - Hugs for you xx Keep posting, doesn't have to be about what's bothering you but a year ago I was terribly lonely and the lovely bunch on here made me feel so special and part of the little virtual community :D

    I've had a fab day (despite the rain ;)) and have thoroughly enjoyed my sewing today and has been a much needed confidence boost :o Will post pics when finished :D

    Best of all no more dead baby birds <phew> til tomorrow that is ;)

    ...Have just had a go at DD1 at 17she does very little round the house as she constantly reminds us that she works pt and is at college 4 days a week came in from work last night at midnight and the washing was still on the line so said could she not have brought it in then she started saying i was having a go cue 1 strip torn off that child ...

    So what does she think you do with your days....sit around and watch daytime TV whilst eating chocolates?!
    EDL are something that I'd get banned for saying.....

    A quick heads-up Anyone planning to visit that famous Lancashire coastal resort with a tower, the EDL & an opposing group are demonstrating there on Saturday 28th, Central pier down towards the Big One.
    ...DS had huge meltdown at dentists...... One of the consultants I worked with was in the waiting room.....

    Perhaps they will now realise that you have more important things in your life than them & your soon-to-be-ex boss. Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

    FB Hope you find somewhere nice with your view! Maybe if you do go in with your neighbour you could agree to review the situation in 6 months, with a no-questions-asked out-clause at that point?

    Nothing much going on here....DH is on his way home tonight, cue much activity chez Floss tidying & washing-up :o DS2's GF is coming for the weekend too, so he's also been tidying madly :p

    Stripping wallpaper & tiles this weekend.....lovely! :rotfl:
