Tough day today, sent DD into school as she seemed settled today and I thought she would be better off with her friends - her teacher is a close friend too.

Also meant I could visit MIL today and spend some time with her, she is doing well but my BIL is in pieces, he still lived at home and has taken it really badly.
Hubby is busy at the moment organising everything so he's staying strong and looking after everyone else.

Hubby also arranged the funeral for the day we are moving house! Not sure what he was thinking, bless him. At least we are part exing so can use the whole weekend to move too.

I think on the whole all the family are comforted that he isn't in pain anymore.

Thank you to everyone for their kind words and pms.

There's a 5p stuck to the pavement just a bit up the street from me. I've lived here 10 years and it still gets me every time!:mad::mad:

I always give coins on the street I find a little nudge with my foot first

Some years ago I spotted a £1 coin on the pavement and went to pick the thing up when it moved:eek: Some chap had tied a think bit of cotton to the coin. So I stamped on the cotton and took it :cool: He was like :eek:
I gave it back to him though

My son worked on the pier during his college holidays, there was lots of coins glued to the floor, also they had an overhead projection of a £5 note when people went to bend down the image disappeared as it was on their back/head

I work from home and they take a right bashing I do 3 12 hour days plus more hours on different days

My Mac is on constantly, it never overheats, I can only just hear the fan when I'm ripping DVD's, it gets bashed about in my bag when I take it to mums. It will be 3 years old this October and it's still as good as the day I took it out of the box.:beer:

Sadly there are one or two posters who seem intent on reporting anything you post that isn't 'straight down the middle'.

Take no notice. I used to get all uppity if my posts got removed....I don't give a flyin banana now. On most occasions the posting has been seen by most anyway by the time it gets removed so 'job done' anyway

I have been looking at those, as I am due my yearly lappy purchase hurts my head trying to decide

Me too 15" Macbook Pro but running Leopard still zzzzzzzzz

Can't go to Lion coz all my music and Photoshop/Adobe software won't work :cool:

Miss Laid I'm sure you know lappys are 100% tax deductable as they are part of capital allowance if you're self employed.

HC your fan or mb will pack up as soon as the Applecare runs out lol....oh, hang on I bet you didn't buy it?!?!

hi everyone
hope your all good, so many newbies at the moment!

well no T's for me in a while and burst into tears today when i did finally go in and got the most miniscule accidental dtd of all time, pathetic:(

loads of crap gone on at home and finally kicked the OH out for good a few wks ago, i just couldn't take anymore and the icing on the cake was that he told me he was never ever going to look for a job near us and had kept me hanging all these years on purpose. I was doing great for a few weeks but now i'm having a few weak moments, I must distract myself and keeping trying to remember when i miss him how he treated me like something on the bottom of his shoe but still feel like my insides have been ripped out:(

Am NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way letting him back this time, i know he thinks i will crumble as i am the weaker more needy one but i think i've realised thats was my naivity plus the psychological abuse that has just completely battered my self esteem. Just need reminding/distracting in any weak moments when i feel like emailing or texting. In fact kids haven't even mentioned him since he went which says it all really.

I didn't want to bring a downer onto the thread so avoided posting but am missing you guys, many others having a rough time too at the moment. A special hug for the 3dogs family and fudge cake, tiny shoes and flo flo.

Will be lurking again but really am not feeling the need to go bargain hunting at all as before and tbh think i did just to get away from him, how sad is that:(. Am going to concentrate now on the two things that matter most in my life, my faith and my kids.

Hugs to all xxx

oh my can't believ i was just posting that as neosi posted that joke, any other time i would have found that funny lol xx

Bless you for finding the strength, life WILL be better very soon :A

Had a week or two where I have been hugely busy and have missed so much. So sorry that so many are in the middle of such difficult times.

Not sure if I'll manage to catch up on the last few hundred pages, but I'll try! :beer:

Hiya they are lab x german shep. Mum is a lab x german shep and dad is a lab.

Where are you? Sorry for 20 questions but we are looking for a pup at the mo! Dog trust has just rung for us to go look at a Lurcher pup but I dont really know much about the breed and not sure it would be right for us. We were hoping for a Lab or if we're really lucky a Weimaraner, but we just missed out on one of those by 2 days so dont think they will get one in again anytime soon.
