Evening Toughies, thank you all for the lovely messages about Pushkin, he is sooooooo naughty and composed in equal parts of really soft cuddly fur and sharp bits!!!!! ask me how I know? I am apparently a climbing frame and the best place to sleep in the world all at the same time. The Dockling hasn't met him as he is DD1s baby and I am certain that our boy would react to him as only lurchers can when faced with felines - and his little legs wouldn't be fast enough, so we'll keep them apart until the kitten has grown up. I've been looking after DD as she has been poorly for a while so I took over for a week to give her a rest and get used to the kitten. It's nice to be home again and hopefully back to normal routine. He Who Knows and the Docky Dog came to meet me from the station this afternoon, it was a lovely welcome as the Docky Dog dashed past me and jumped on the lady in the queue behind me!!!!!!! Never mind, he's pleased to have me back I'm sure.

FUDDLE I hope you are feeling better now and that the antibiotics have started to work and make your throat better, be well little one, Cheers Lyn xxx.

I found it useful to ' batch text all ' to keep everyone in the loop in this situation.

Random question, has anyone here been through a divorce as a respondent? Looking for some advice!

Well, as far as I know...

You can apply for it online £45 but you have to do it within 12 months so you may have to get a shufty on!

It's all a bit rubber stamp usually. If there are children it's a bit more complicated.

Morning everyone, thankyou for the nice messages. Oh and myself have both said how guilty we feel that his uncle died alone and wasn't found for a couple of days. His sister has been appointed by the police as the only person allowed entry to the flat. They require ID and a police officer would also need to go with her, to protect all assets and keep everything secure. It seems there is an estranged sister that they are worried would rob the place dry (she did when there mum died, all jewellery and cash disappeared after she had been in).

Peanut definatley have the haircut, and if find you want a nice hair colour how about doing it at home, maybe your mum can help put an all over colour on for you. This is far cheaper than the hairdressers.

After hearing about Thatcher, im rather mixed. We started to get into trouble during her reign. The poll tax my brother had to lend me the cash as the bailiffs were in my house, and I had just had our DD. He was a nice man and waited while my brother went to the cash machine. But it was the start of a very scarey time for us.

I remember the very hard times growing up, the times when my dad was only working for a few days a week. this is when we got the farmland and ended up growing up having to help doing manual labour on the land so we had some extra cash and food on the table. Cleaning frozen leeks for selling to market, hand picking potatoes, weeding by hand runner beans as we couldn't afford weedkiller!!!!

I had a migraine Saturday and still have a headache, should I see my doctor or is this normal?? anyone know please??

Take care everyone x x

So you turn on the news and Thatcher's still dead, right? And seemingly is the greatest person ever to have lived. Well, I am not one to speak ill of the dead but, as the Grauniad declared yesterday, if we don't speak ill then there is no balance. I am trying to resist the Bette Davis comment after Joan Crawford died "one must only speak good of the dead, [Thatcher] is dead - good"!!

I am sure her family will mourn, that is right and proper, but how can people say she was great, how????? My 16 year old daughter is posting on facebook saying "she deserves to be mourned" - what the hell does she know about it? All she has heard is me slagging the woman off! I'll say no more as, in the words of Ben Elton "It's a little bit of politics", but the front page of the Socialist Worker made me LOL, from this montage

Dr Dragon said there was a post on the book of face saying the mausoleum had better have a very big dance floor! :D

My favourite FB comment on the passing of Thatch was "Satan's just gone past the window with a suitcase ... in Nikes".
A bit extreme, but it made me laugh.

I think the Northern Echo exercised great diplomacy with their "Loved, hated, never forgotten". Given what she did to the region, there will be quite a swell of opinion against her. To say the least.

Nuttyp, just saw your migraine question. Do you have a nurses' drop in clinic at your practice? Ours has one for worries like yours. I've never had a migraine, thank God, so can't comment on that.

I think VJ's Mum sums things well on the demise of the Ex PM...as does mcculloch29 choosing the headline on the Northern Echo.

I said on my blog.

On a personal level of course it will be difficult for those close to her as I and others have when we lose those near and dear to us and I want to give them some respect but I can understand the reaction of the public(and I don't think it is being over dramatic)that some will have lost family members through the policies introduced directly/indirectly by her Government also if their standard of living was lost, of course they will feel hatred.

Those who succeeded will see things differently and perhaps are unable to understand. But for me being affected emotionally means more than materialistically doing well. And it is happening again. The country is being divided but this time every party is similar to a lesser or greater extent.

Its not necessarily the parties to blame but those who represent them and if there were "New" faces in Parliament it could be different. But it could be better or worse and until that happens we won't know.

Its difficult to ignore such a story or not annoy those that may feel different but even if some of us feel different it is ok if we respect each other and are prepare to differ and don't do so in a nasty way.
