Hello Everyone - Wanted to say how sad it makes me to read of all the problems you are having . I can't offer any specific advice but just wanted to say I am thinking of you all.

Thankyou Rosieben for the link about refreezing - found it very useful. jac xx

Cheapskate - we all have problems, and they are all just as valid and important as anyone elses. Thats what makes it so good here,

I totally agree, it doesn't matter what the problem is, if its bothering you or causing you upset its just as important as anyone else's.

Hugs and Love to all xxxx

Oh gosh yes Rosieben, thank you for those links, I was always taught never refreeze in same state not even bread,rolls etc, so thank you for that.

Shegar am blazing on your behalf, as someone said call PALS as its totally disgusting them not contacting you...

Hugs and Love to all xxxx

now I better go and make those dumplings (suet mix from af so only water to add)

Molly, it may do for the support group, but not for the work group, but who knows, they don't seem to. I feel like I'm talking to brick walls most of the time with them. I've used the website Turn2us with every possible variation and it still comes out the same...just done my budget, and not including other bills, except the important ones, electric, water etc, I am in deficit. The only way to reduce the deficit is to reduce food bills as I have nothing left to reduce.

I'll try the discretionary housing although I imagine there will be lots of people doing the same.

Anyway, always up for a challenge!

So, it's upping my income somehow, guess I need to increase my pet sitting rates.

Cheapskate, no-one should have to measure their worries against someone else's, that wasn't my intention, as everyone's worries are valid.

Byatt sorry to hear your news if theres anything I can do please feel free to ask even if its just talk PM anytime XX

Cheapskate chin up hun we're all here for you too XX

Its been a bit of a sad day all round on MSE reading some of the posts today I'm not much use but I can talk for England of anyone ever needs to I usually have tumbleweed blowing thru my PM box so theres never any worry of it being full :rotfl:

I have a couscous mountain too if its of any help but have suspicions that just about everyone else who's discovered Approved is in the same boat

Keep on keeping on folks

XXXXX

Leathers Lane in Halewood on the 4th according to the leaflet my son recieved.:)

Thank you - it looks lovely, theres a Tesco too and a home bargains all very swish. havent been that way since our friends moved a few years back.

Am mortified, when I first suggested idea of using Uncles function room and bussing kids in, before booking I wanted to look at coach hire, but my mum said oh dont be sill I booked buses all the time for my job (she retired a couple of years ago) it will be about £150 - which was so much cheaper than a marquee in garden would cost. Have now got final numbers and am trying to book, its nearer £400:eek::eek: I cannot believe I was so stupid.

Byatt, I'm a marketing manager, can I help you with the cat sitting business? Can I make you a flyer? Do you advertise? Are you on Facebook and Twitter? PM me if you like, I'm very happy to help.

Kidcat and Possession, PM's being sent, thank you.

Byatt - have some more hugs.

In fact everyone have some hugs for whatever ails you or just for being so supportive of everyone - it warms my heart that everyone has their own worries or problems and yet spares the time to offer comfort or more practical help or advice to others. That's a very generous offer from Possession - I wonder how many other useful skills we have between us?

You can tell the divers to pack their gear away - we are all home safe and sound although we did have to come the long way round! It's official - there is now only one way in or out of our village now, the rest closed due to massive flooding. I have a sneaking suspicion we may be on Look North again tonight as they have featured our village a few times this year about freak weather conditions. Beginning to think it's happening too often to be called freak now though.
