    Morning all, Moggins, strength is in numbers, and you have all of us thinking of you, spurring you on. Hope everything goes well today, when things seem tough just remember we're all here for you :)

    Emma - sorry to hear about the kitty, they do become one of the family, take it easy honey.

    Jan - Happy Birthday

    Right, must dash, going to blast through the sitting room cleaning and go to see a friend I haven't seen for months, he's been moving his business so have avoided going, but all sorted now, might even see if I can have a drive of the Hummer he's just got. If anyones near Newcastle and sees a Hummer get off the road :rotfl: it might be me! Hugs to those who need them and hopefully I'll catch up with you all later :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Good morning every-one, I hope you are all ok. I havent posted for a few days, partly because i have been busy and also because i dont have any news.I took my youngest three children to B & Q yesterday to buy seeds,compost and a couple of propagators.Ending up spending £30:eek:,although that did include a pair of purple Voile curtains that were reduced to £4.60,They are for my daughters bedroom (age 7 and 8)
    I did treat myself to a small herb tray and hope to grow coriander, sweet basil and rocket.

    Moggins, We are all thinking of you at this very difficult time. Hugs to you.come here as much as you need to, Do whatever you need to do to get through this very upsetting period in your life.

    Disdisbiff,
    Hope your tooth op goes well.

    Crazychik, sorry to hear about your cat.
    Talking of pets, I woke at 4am to let my daft rabbit in. Hubby opened the door last night to get something from the shed, the rabbit shot out and it wouldnt come in!! I awoke at 4am and couldnt sleep in case a fox or similiar smelt it in the garden.Luckily, as soon as i opened the door it shot in. So the night my hyper 4 year old son actually slept through, my naughty bunny disturbed my sleep.:rotfl:
    Anyway, I better go and wipe around the kitchen and fold some washing. Hugs to all that need them,especially Moggins.Love Elaine.

    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday Jan

    :grouphug: Crazychik I went through the same thing last weekend with my dog so I know just how you're feeling.

    Moggins glad you're feeling stronger - keep posting we're all here for you.

    Hugs to anyone else who needs them.

    Not doing anything today as DD is off school. She keeps getting a temperature but complains that she is freezing when she's burning up! So while her temperature is normal (after Nurofen, etc) she's fine and wants constant attention but when her temperature goes up she feels really ill!

    Hi everyone,

    Went mad on Saturday, did washing ,ironing, tidying....Then Sunday I couldn't walk properly!:confused: I never learn that when I have a "good" day I can't abuse it!

    Didn't go to work today, and a horrid cold's come out, so that may be why. My legs don't want to work at all today. MS is a rotten disease GRR!:mad:
    Still DD and BF have gone off to look at another flat (trying to move out). They lost one because the landlady said they were too young (21 and 22)!
    So maybe this will be better.

    Going to sit down now, have a good day all!:T
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    Hi again

    Just wanted to say sorry for your loss crazychik

    Hi to the newbies. Welcome. :hello:

    moggins seeing your doc is a good idea. Hope all goes well at the jobcentre and with the agency. Why isn't there a "fingers crossed" smiley?

    Happy birthday janb5. Have a good one.

    I'm not sure I should tempt fate by saying this but the day has gone well so far - getting lots done and no-one has demanded boss' mobile phone no to phone him (yes, some people really think he shouldn't have a holiday when he is doing something for them :rolleyes: ).

    Right, off to put the kettle on and get some more stuff done. xx

    Helloo again,

    thanks for DS2 birthday wishes twink!

    Back from Nursery Appt with DD - they say she can start 22 Mar -the day after her 3rd birthday!!! I was expecting it to be after easter hols, but at least she can have a weeks trial! She had a look round and went outside to play with Big Bro' on the bikes n scooters!:D

    We got DS a Lightening McQueen Dressing up outfit - he looks abit like "The Stig" off Top Gear:rotfl: :rotfl: it is his favourite programme!

    Dont know what we are having for birthday tea - but of course there will be cake!

    janb5 - Happy Birthday to you!:beer:

    pooky - Hows the "Stepping" going??? Did you "ski" far??:D I quite like the idea of those little lateral steppers (usually on the teleshopping) they look handy and wont take up much room - but then I think will it just be another thing to sit in the cupboard:rotfl: :confused: - Ive got enough dvds I should get cracking on with!:o
