    Hello mandymoo and AnW'sMum, I hope the little on is better. I hate it when Rosie is ill, especially now, when I'm back in work and no John to look after her. Luckily she's not normally ill, so fingers crossed.
    I've signed her up to a sports camp for the first week of the Easter hols and I'm off the second week, so that holiday is sorted, thank goodness, I was starting to panic.
    I've told some of the step children how I got on at the hospital (not all the percentages though)
    All is still mixed up in my head, so I'm taking things slowly. I've just come home from work and there is a for sale sign up in the garden and I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
    Anyhow, I've stolen this lap top for a few minutes, so I'll run now and catch up later if possible!!!!!!

    Nice to see you here Stormy, Alice is much better thanks. I am very lucky in that my mu works at Alice's school so has the same hols off which means she is around to help out with childcare. I don't want to have to rely totally on her but I know if I am in a fix se will help out.

    I too am off the second week of the hols and with BH on the friday previous I only have to work 1 day out of the fortnight! Will be almost like 3 weeks off for me.

    Glad you told the children about your meeting, you do right to take it slowly. Also well done on your decision to put the house on the market, can't have been easy. I just hope the whole buying/selling thing doesn't cause too much stress.

    mandymoo, twink, anniestar, jbabtista and everyone else hope you are all well :grouphug:

    Morning all,
    A lov ely day here in North Wales, Rosie has a party this afternoon, fancy dress, and we are going to view a house later. I've got the washing on and today I'm going to try to get through without thinking of what could have been....................just for 1 day.
    Positive thoughts only today please :)
    My grandson said 'love you Nana' yesterday and I had a huge bunch of floweres delivered from some colleagues in South Wales and they look lovely. (I was feeling down this week and they really cheered me up).
    I AM going to go and buy a laptop later................
    Have a lovely peaceful day, catch you later, love and hugs to all.

    Good morning to you all,

    I hope you have all had a good week and the sun is shining where you are, I have had my head in the anorexia books all week trying to understand more about it all. DD has been keeping a diary of what she has eaten and she has had good days and bad, but we are all talking about it openly so I hope that is good, we can see that she is trying her best and we are very proud. DD and me are going to stay with my mum tonight,as I haven`t told her yet (did`nt want to do it over the phone) we talk everyday and it has been so hard to act normal as if nothing is wrong. But dd wants to tell her face to face, she adores her grandma. Ds2 has been wonderful with dd and his behaviour has improved so much, he has really grown up this last week. Yesterday he saw me crying and just gave me the biggest cuddle and said " go on mum just let it out I`m here for you" bless him.

    We will get through this.

    Oh and I have been asked back for a second interview next week, so we will see what happens ( not really in the right frame of mind at the mo) but as before I will just be myself and what will be will be.

    Waffle over
    love to you all and have a good weekend.
    love and hugs mandymoo xxxx

    Hi Anniestar, sorry to hear about your cat, hope she feels better soon.

    I really hope things are going better for you at the moment xxx

    There's a simple way to subscribe to the thread (but I can't remember it), but if you click on 'go advanced' when you post, there's an 'additional options' box underneath where you type your post - one of the options on there is 'thread subscription', and you just choose whether you want to be notified by email of new posts.

    Sorry if I've not explained that very well, I'm sure someone else will be able to do MUCH better!!
