tired_mum

well have pointed out calmly the error of her ways and she assures me she will call and have her phone on next time and will let me know when it will be switched off in the picturesall in all i was worrying over nowt
cant remember who it was who asked about the littlies going bowling no one should moan as sat eve is a family time and they should be allowed some fun too so take them i bet they will be a picture with little shoes and big bowling ball[wish mine were still young and cute]
luckily my mum is lovely but she does tend to say the wrong thing sometimes to people and cant understand what shes done wron but her heart is in the right place

I think some women are just not cut out to be mothers. Some women have no maternal or protective instinct. It must have been awful for these women (before the 60s say) to know that they were expected to marry, have children and stay at home raising these children.

That is precisely why I never intend to have children, plus I have enough problems looking after myself sometimes that I would be useless as a mother. I shall settle for being an aunty and spoiling my sisters children

evening gang, well I have been trying to get on here for ages but kept "having to " read loads of posts. Hope you are all safe, well and warm. Weather here is rotten dead foggy. A night to snuggle up and have a huge bowl of cheese and onion pasta(made by DH) which is what I am going to do. (YUM).Happy Birthday arkonite babe hope its a good one.Rage in Eden small world! Guess where I live?? Paulie'sGirl many many congratulations. How exciting. gingin I AM an annie(well actually my name is Ann). looby-loo am so sorry to hear your dreadful news.((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))).Also loads of love to ageandjo am thinking of you.SnowyOwl honey, please don't "beat yourself up" you are a lovely person and things WILL get better. LOADS of love and hugs to you. ivyleaf you are fab, cats ARE fantastic aren't they. COOLTRIKERCHICK I know how awful it is to lose a cat like that. I had a cat that went missing 17 years ago and it STILL hurts. Livvy(avatar)is aTOTAL HEADCASE!!!!!!!!!We have had him since he was 8days old(syringe fed for AGES) and he is such a poser(DH's fave)and SO unlike Fergal his litter brother. Health update....Phoebe, Fergal,Rupert and Lucy fine now(tablets finish tomorrow)Livvy(Livingstone) still not well BUT....MUCH better thanks. As for my name well, I tried to choose various other names but kept getting told that the name was in use. As my name is Ann I wanted to reflect that and as in younger (and slimmer) days I used to sing but didn't get my "break" thought the name was ironic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a nice evening and please keep safe. A XXXX (have been on for so long bound to have missed loads of people out-sorry!!!HUGS to anyone that wants one.

Grannybroon I'd be lost without my long hair Blue Persian, he's called Norman and he's 11. Call him Bagpuss! I would love to posta pic, but they come out too big

Cattie1 your'e probably allready at the bowling now, but I agree with others, go - but do keep an eye on them. They can bored easily and soon want to wander off!

Tiredmum - So glad she's home safely, what a worry!

Gosh Moggins, perhaps your mum & mine are related, mine so not maternal. If I need for an emergancy babysitter - her reply "let me check my diary - mmmm I can fit you in in 3weeks time" :mad: When I was going thru post natal depression - that was attention seeking in her eyes! Need I go on!

Ive baked 2 x carrot cakes, 2 x carrot & banana cakes & 2 x date n walnuts, my house smells divine of baking!

Wacthing Dancing on Ice at the mo - I love this!

E-bay sales ended today, had lots of enquires about my toppers I sold. People wanting larger orders for their own wedding invites! Its a nice confidence boost knowing others like them that much!
OH been emptying the shed, for more stuff to list! So might do that later or tomorrow. I'd better spend some time with OH on the settee later before he moans he's lonely!

Be back later
Tara for now
Love Emma xxx

Hi all!

Moggins - hope you dont get the full-blown rash!

Have had a stressfull afternoon :mad: DS1 missed 2 buses home from Worcester and he was supposed to be doing a disco at 7pm!:eek: so guess who had to dash to fetch him! 20 miles away - I was not a happy bunny I can tell you:rolleyes: Then to top it all we got lost when I was taking him to the hall for the disco and only made it just in time for the suprise party he was doing!
my blood pressure must have been sky high!:rolleyes:

To do all this rushing about I had to leave the wallpapering I was doing and the house was in a right mess:mad:

Anyway rant over, feel better for that!;)

DS2 had to be dropped off for a sleepover so I feel like a taxi service!:rolleyes:

All sorted now thankgoodness.Hope everyone else has had a better afternoon!

Off for a big bowl of icecream now:D I deserve it!;)

take care xx

Well I survived the visit to my friend, she has mastered putting photographs on the web and has been instructed how to run the virus checker and disc cleaner, so once she gets a little more proficient I can start to show her some more tricks that she can do with her computer.

Left supper ready to be cooked when I got home, liver and sausage casserole, mashed spud and swede, carrots cauli and brussels followed by banana and ice cream........

I still have not finished sorting out the back bedroom, I have someone coming in the morning but will have to try and do some more tomorrow afternoon, maybe I can get it sorted this week........

I had a suprise today, a friend from the US e mailed me, I have not heard from her for ages, nice to know she is ok.....she lost her daughter to breast cancer 2 years ago, she and her husband are bringing up their grandchildren, both children are being home educated, which makes it tough for her, most of the burden of care falls on her, the childrens father lives with them, but has to work to support the children. Life is not easy for them and makes one realise just how lucky you are.

Right, need to do a bit of a fly lady in the kitchen, OH washed up after supper, but never ceans the sink when he has finished, hate going to bed and leaving a dirty sink....................

See you tomorrow..................
