    I have all my days topsy turvy this week.

    After doing accounts or trying to work out how to do them we seem to be able to get started now. At least it has helped me to get all my paperwork sorted and either filed or thrown away. It is a lovely feeling, a clear desk :)

    I plan to do some bedroom cleaning now and to do the living room either later or tomorrow morning.

    Hugs for anyone who needs them. Sorry but I haven't read back yet.

    I will join you MOAM

    the question is would either of them ever speak to me again?

    The other problem is that DD1 has only been out of York twice in nearly 4 years.... now we know we hav eto work at this - but I want her in good health for the olympics ( we have spent £600+ on tickets) and i don't want her stressing over a this...

    and DD2 does not like carveries - she doesn't like her meat as meat ( she likes it hidden in sauces) and she doesn't do veg!

    I'd like to get away with not celebrating - OH ruined my birthday last year... but if I can't then I'd like to go to my local pub! But mum is in Stockport and little sis is in Didcot!

    As I said it will require some thought....

    Do they not have a usual pub menu as well as the carvery? All the ones here do.. failing that go on a Sunday get a Sunday dinner.. which is a carvery after all and she can chose off the normal menu.. they usually offer a veggie alternative which might be preferable.. Last time we went it was mushroom welly with saut! potato .. looked nothing like wellies or mushrooms..

    OH said.. ohh The D and P? It is nice there.. he likes food lol They all seem to go out for indian meals whenever they go... I send him alone and I go to the chippy... oooooohhh... DD2 can say with my OHs mum and have other stuff and Ill come scoff her carvery! :D

    Squeak was very photogenic for her shoot this morning, Dot however, wasnt.. she is just not interactive and cannot hold her head straight or face forwards (hence the osteopath on Friday!).. we spent a double fortune... so we are now poor as church mice again! But we get a disc with all 66 pics they took thrown in so we arent going to complain!... Then I got a call saying I had missed the appointment... erm.. no I hadnt I brought Dot and Squeak... and you took our pics... oooooohhhhhh yes... apparently we had not been marked green.. why do people ALWAYS do this with me... it isnt like I am easy to forget I haunt nightmares forever!

    JJ pain free vibes for you. How are the child dealing with Grandad's passing?

    Both have been upset but not shown it much - it was their Great Grandad though and they only saw him 2 or 3 times a year.
    Feel free - it's the carvey on the road between Stockport and Manchester - I bet your OH's mother will know it!:D:D

    And DS has never driven on a motoraway - would I trust him to a) drive us all there or b) drive and get my mum and bring her back?

    It needs some thinking about!

    Are we all invited? How about having your own celebrations at home then having a flylady celebration at the carvery and tell her she's welcome to attend that!

    This is not a good day.

    DD1 also has tonsilitis so that's two big uns poorly.

    I was told that I may not have my job in 4 weeks time

    Some Bar steward left a massive dent in my car and didn't leave a note. I don't know if it was when I was at work or when I picked up the littlies from school.

    Very very very very very very carp day.
