    Jackie G --strenght to you and your family.-my father and father in law have been through the mill and all you can do is be supportative and positive!---my wife thinks every ache she has is either cancer or a tumour because she has post stress syndome due to her father's illness but i just keep positive and reassuring.

    My hair transplant has taken well and the roots seem well embedded and i am at a point where i dont need to go to the clinic everyday--i paid 1600 and 'shrek' rooney paid 12000 and i got the best care available for the critical 10 days.-tomorrow i might not even need to look like a punk!

    Life is getting very complicated on the property front because i have been umming and arrring around my parents in law's situation. They live on the 4th floor and have no lift which worries me and tires them! i am computing figures to buy me a holiday home and leave enough for them to upgrade to a gff. i seem to have very broad shoulders!-i saw a 4 bedroom detached villa that i fancied and my wife and i will go and see it tomorrow, its in kusadasi which is 1 hour's drive from home and will take the place of the holiday home we currently rent!

    Sometimes not moving backwards is as much an achievement as moving forwards is on other times. (originally posted by kidcat)

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!

    Thinking of you Sistercas xx
    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.

    Very sad posts on here today. Lou - hope you hear some positive news soon. Both Jackie's - fingers crossed for your relatives. Sistercas - hope the MRI scan goes well and that nothing is sinister for your DH.
    Very warm here this afternoon. Not much work done (it was my course this morning - and I did my homework at 6am!!) Am sitting watching the tennis - Murray could be about to win the first set...maybe! YES!!!!!
    Had lovely day with DGD yesterday, so lovely to be able to spend time with her.
    Am sending love and prayers to all in need.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    The weather has turned hot here today-35 plus! its 8pm. we are going house hunting tomorrow because i am fed up of renting a holiday home. The world crisis has meant that property in the holiday resorts seems a bargain-i am sure they will devalue but i cant wait.

    Evening all

    ((((((((sistercas, jackie G & O, BB and Lou))))))))))))

    Good day at work, met my new assistant. He is from the Army and joining us for 12 weeks, and defo brings some eye candy to the office :smileyhea :rotfl:, shame he is married though! Took work kids to our low ropes assualt course, they really enjoyed and worked well together as a team.

    After work I popped to see my flakey friend, she has only gone and let her ex boyfriend move in temporarily cos he has nowhere to live now uni has finished :eek:. I told her she was mental, but she felt sorry for him, and he is in the spare room and she promises they won't get back together. Mmmmmm we shall see.

    OS wise - HM pizza and wedges in oven just about ready :), cleaned bathroom, took recycling out.

    Have a good evening all
