    thanks buffy - if any of you girls go on matrix can you say hi to claire for me. I believe in positive thinking but am less sure about the cosmic ordering bit.

    Hello all ... Pleased to 'see' you all. Buffy, glad to hear your news, beanie - wow at your son having driving lessons, hugs to Ames. Sorry, being thick here, but why can't you put the money you have received from your mum not allowed to be put towards a house?
    Life not too great here - dad is doing well following an eleven hour operation to remove his tumour, but sadly my m-i-l passed away a week ago following a long illness.
    Catch up with you all again soon...

    I just read and rarely post, cos I agree with you,although it is alot wider then that and I find it very interesting but don't think I have anything to contribute to be honest. They are a great bunch of women tho! And Claire makes such nice stuff!

    Where do I start?
    1. Finished my NVQ2 in hairdressing and started working in a salon this week as a stylist
    2. Am getting my PPI back from Lloyds after an 18 month battle (and thanks to some help from DFW's)
    3. Separated from husband recently-still trying in vain to find a property to live in but its amicable and we are both trying to make sure the children are as happy as they can be.

    That's about it-but more than enough for me!

    Nice to catch up with everyone :D
