    fudge2 - Fellow Fudge ;)smiley-hug002.gif Great big cuddle for you because you've really been through the mill :( I do hope things are looking up for you soon, you've been so strong.

    Nikki - :T:T:T Yippeeeee so pleased to hear your DS had success with rearranging the exam conditions, it's only fair. School were fairly good with me in that I got the extra 25% time but they refused to put me in a seperate room so everyone would leave and I'd still be working which was very very hard but atleast this was nearing the end of the exam. Having disturbance 1/3 and 2/3 of the way through would be awful :(

    MKS - Your post made me cry :A I think the treatment your DS received is absolutely disgraceful!! I am disgusted on you and his behalf, even if it was a while ago. Seriously, WTH?!!! :eek::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    bensonsmum - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :j:j:j:j:j I am sooooooooooooooooo pleased for you!!!!!!!! That's fantastic! It is no more than Michael deserved and I am sure he's raising a toast to you tonight, for giving him the best send off he could have wished for and knowing now that it is not going to inflict any financial repurcussions for you. I really am so pleased for you because it was such a terrible situation to be faced with :Axxxxxxxx

    bubbs - What a lovely gesture from you smiley-love020.gif

    summerstars - 1st multibuy whoopsies :T:T:T

    Purdy - Awwww fab, thank you for another suggestion, will definitely have a look into the use of that machine too :D Some of these electrical current thingies aren;t any good when you've had blood clots, fingers crossed this one is safe! At the moment I'd pay anything if it'll work :A THANK YOU! And good luck with your slugs ;):cool:

    Hi I need to get the washing done and then ironed so can i borrow miss laid too please :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Miss Laid does ironing too. :T

    My washing has been a total failure today, forgot to press start on my second load. :eek: It is out on the line at the moment. :o And it will be out before Miss Laid's in the morning :p (actually going to leave it out all night) :rotfl:

    Quick update mum is looking a lot better today, but is in a lot of pain with her back and cannot get comfortable. One of her meds was not given to her until this evening and she has not had it since yesterday morning. :eek: The paramedic did not want to take them with her to the hospital as there were so many boxes. I did offer to go back as nurse said some could not be accessed from pharmacy last night but she said would be available in morning and not to bother. Wish I had now. :( Still good news temperature has stayed down and mum managed a few smiles. :)

    And I have FINALLY managed to do my mega coupon shop, not sure how I have done compared to the experts but I got a £54 shop down to £45 after multibuys and under £20 after coupons. :D Thanks for everyones help. :T

    I forgot to write down which L'Oreal wipes I was meant to be getting so got the £3 ones that were BOGOF, bargain for 25p a pack. Also got some free MAM, although not a great variety today. Got some beer for Mr TS and stocked up on Pepsi Max for me. :T:T:T

    seriously what is with these magpies they are vandals disturbing the peace and plaguing my beautiful cat !! I am seriously fed up with them . Any ideas people ???

    Bit drastic I know but Happy's good with a shotgun :p;), so I hear :rotfl:

    Only joking, the only thing I remember the ones that came into our garden not liking was loud, sudden noises like most birds. DS used to bang on his room window to chase them from the song birds as they used to terrorise them at the bird table

    Not so much a shotgun, but a rifle on the other hand....:D:D:D

    These are from a shooting range in New Zealand. The targets, which are about the size of someones head were about 100' away and the .22 rifle didn't have any fancy telescopic sight. I reckon I'd make a good sniper/assassin.:beer::beer:

    FANTASTIC!!! :T:T:T:T

    What amazing generosity and selflessness. A great big round of applause and thank you to Nine Tails :T:T:T:T What an angel :A

    Tinyshoes - So sorry your Mum's still in a lot of pain, that really isn't good enough that they couldn't get her regular medication from pharmacy until this evening. You running back and forth is just not on and you shouldn't feel guilty, they should. Your poor Mum :(:A Very pleased to hear that the temperature has subsided which sounds very positive for the infection side of things. Hoping that after a couple of days rest, she can build her strength up a little and will feel more herself. So pleased you got your coupon shop in eventually :T Go you!! :D

    SpirallingDown - So sorry I missed you off my post earlier I meant to say that I'm sorry that it's still ongoing with the contractor issues :(:(:mad::mad: Hope they stop fobbing you off and get some damn work done ASAP!

    Also I want to say a huge thank you and send big cuddles publicly to 2 very very special ladies Westie and Chelseagirl. You are both inspirational and utterly lovely and it is an absolute pleasure speaking to you :A:Axx

    And while I'm on the subject of lovely ladies.....I am very muchly missing lutzi1 and really hope she's ok and everything went well with her Jubilee celebrations :Axx
