    Good Morning x
    Hope everyone is doing ok and happy today.

    I had a busy day yesterday as we went to Bletchley Park for a quick scoot around. We had return tickets that had to be used by today. I also went to collect my annual conker collection and they had a tree with absolutely huge conkers on. Call me a child but I get so excited opening them up and finding real beauties:T:T:T

    We had more traumas at home with DS2 deciding that he is unhappy returning to school for A levels:eek::eek::eek: Honestly it has been such a stressful week as all four of my kids have had issues that have required intensive input.

    We are going out to lunch today as it is the Kids Dad's birthday so looking forward to that:T:T:T

    Be back later 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,

    Another soaking wet morning so more washing hanging around, it has not stopped raining for four days straight. I usually love Autumn, crisp mornings, falling leaves:rotfl:or is that just on the telly.

    Need to go to Mr A's today as the cupboards and fridge ar bare again, just can't keep up with so many people.

    Just 5 of us for tea tonight as DS and GF are out at her grans for tea, not sure what yet.

    The house needs a good clean, but will probably just have a swish and swipe today and get done properly at wkend.

    Out at DSS on Sat for a curry and a visit to Yorkshire to Mum and Dads on Sunday. Will take a Victoria sponge for dessert and middle DS has requested a batch of brownies as he is at a house warming on Saturday and can't afford a pressie.:cool:

    Also need to post lots of ebay parcels. I have no idea how I ever worked outside the home.

    Just trying to decide whether to put away my summer stuff in the loft, you can guarantee the minute I do the sun will come out.

    Lots of positive vibes for today Beth x

    (sorry if my post seems a bit moany, just get overwhelmed by it all sometimes)

    Have a good Thursday all J x

    NPM hope fat cat is ok
    Off to Lakeside later with DD1 and my mum to get some bits for uni so more spending .
    Need to buy DS some safety boots for his college course he is really looking forward to it as he has Aspergers i am pleased he has found something he wants to do he is doing countryside and forestry manament.
    Haircuts tonite for me and DD2 so a bit of me time as its one of my good friends who does our hair we work together but never seem to be on the same shift so it will be a nice catch up.
    just counted up the change tin so will bank that later nearly £100 so that will pay for DDs dictaphone that she will need for uni
    Hope you all have a good day whatever you are up to

    Morning all,
    I treated myself to a new hair do y/day and received my order from Le Reboot at last some clothes that fit, DH's face was a picture when he came home and saw me. :D
    Obviously there is no OS here today as we are off to the Hosp at 10.00. However I have done some pots & veg ready for dinner for DH to go with pork chops.
    Miss my morning coffee, can't have any as I'm NBM :(

    Thank you all for the pm's and posts wishing me well and keeping me possitive, yer a great bunch. x :A
  • Morning all

    Thanks for all wishes for Fatcat, vet thinks she has a stomach bug so she had IMAB and has to go back tomorrow for a check :cool: Over the last month we have paid about £200 vets fees for her but on seperate occasions....does anyone know about pet insurance...can we ask vet for a bill with them all on totalled up iykwim.....we have to pay £80 excess on her ins and each bill has been between £30 and £90 a time so not worth claiming it seperately.
    Am going to do some ironing in a minute after I have sorted the chickens...they have tipped their water over ....again:o
    Doing a tidy after that and declutter.
    Betheebee good luck today,,glad you boosted yourself up with a new hairdo and clothes;)
    bramble glad grandad is ok:T
    butterfly do you have a Carers centre near you? Ours has a magazine every month and they have a big section in the back with people selling their equipment like folding scooters and walking frames etc. They are usually reasonable prices and at least you are not in a bidding war:cool:
    Tiredmum lovely to hear about DS starting his course:T he should be very proud of himself. I do worry about what noah will manage to do with the severity of his problems. His ideal job would be in the farming line as he can work to his own rules, be with animals, start work at silly o clock and it has its own routines with the different tasks in different seasons.

    right off to clear the coop and sort out my daft hens:rotfl:

    morning!

    didn't get on here yesterday as I did an 11 hour shift at work. We went to the seaside for the day in Wales - lovely day out even if it did blow a gale - think half the sand came home in my hair!:D

    Off to work again later - refresher training on vunerable adults today.

    Have had a clean and vac through the house and changed one bed - am hoping my new bedding comes today so I can put that on mine so I delayed changing mine.

    Betheebee - positive vibes for today x x x x

    Mioliere - belated Happy Birthday for yesterday x:beer:

    NPM - hope fatcat is feeling better x

    not a lot else to report so far,

    take care all x
    Do what you love :happyhear
