    Morning everybody,

    Well I had a lie-in today. Stayed up too late again on mse :D Don't know where all you early birds get your energy from. :A

    Today is the 1st day of some holidays I have taken. I have worked every day for weeks and have really looked forward to this. Not going anywhere but hoping to achieve a lot in the decluttering stakes, my house looks like one of those that Aggie and her mate visit and so I have promised myself that I will not sit gossiping on mse all day :)

    A few of you have mentioned how nice and bright the weather is :confused: .........you obviously don't live where I do. I was sooo hoping that the weather would hold out for this week. I achieve soo much more when the weather is nice. I live in a really dark house and struggle when the weather is dull and it is sods law that it would disappear the minuite I had some free time.

    Crazychick It was the heat of the moment, forgive yourself.

    mel123 Poor you lol. It always frightens me to death when the phone rings in the middle of the night. _pale_

    Hope everybody has a good day :grouphug:

    I have started highlighting the text typed, and then copying before I press send! I have also found that if you press back it will often retrieve it. It's worth a try.

    Csarina - just wondering...

    When you log in, do you tick the "Remember Me" box?

    If not, try doing this and see if it helps ;) People have had trouble with this in the past, and this has sorted it out.

    Oh no, Csarina, please don't stop posting. I kmow it is frustrating, especially when it repeatedly does it to you. I'm so fed up with it I now type out my post in word then cut and paste it it into MSE. If I get logged out I still have what I posted. It iwas a pain to start with, but I'm used to it now and do it automatically.

    Don't let bad technology keep you away. :A
    My first reply was witty and intellectual but I lost it so you got this one instead :D

    Good Morning

    Thanks for all the Happy Birthday messages you left on Thursday:) I had a lovely day being quite, quite lazy!! :D

    I managed to do all on the Flylady list yesterday (OK, so it wasn't a huge list!), and for the week of flying my home is definitely looking much tidier and there are less dust monsters lurking around in nooks and crannies. It makes me feel really chuffed with myself.

    Hayfever season has started :( Feeling awful this morning - all snotty, sneezy and itchy (sounds like three of Snow Whites little guys!!). Can't afford any tablets this week, last year ASDA had some for something like 98p, so I hope they have them in next week when I will make sure I leave some room in the shopping budget for them.

    Jobs for today are to spend a little time in our bedroom declutttering and to spend some time planting up some seeds to start off in the mini greenhouse.

    Have a lovely day today and hugs to anyone who needs them.


    Hi all - hope you all have a good Saturday. I am just going to have some r and r.

    I suffer from hayfever and I could not go a week without tablets, poor you. My sister cannot afford them either and I cannot understand it. I would have to buy them.

    For some reason I do not seem to be able to copy and paste, which drives me crazy even in the advanced frame, otherwise I would do it.

    Hello again

    OH has just gutted DD bedroom only taken him 2.5 hrs. 2 refuse sacks of rubbish.
    Ive ironed all clothes and took the pics ready to list items on ebay on Sunday.

    Ive tried to apologise to my ex, but now he's name calling me! Daren't repeat what he's said! So I will leave it. He will most likely keep that text and show his family when he goes over there today! Just to add fuel to the fire! And no doubt will stop me attending the funeral! (when it happens)

    catowen it takes a while to come out of this "mood", and its great to see that you've been weighing up all pro's & cons, which when put into prospective.makes things looks better than they actually are. Its great you have the looks & the figure, only wish men can see you for the kind of person you really are! I hate it when they go for looks and not the person inside! (((big hugs))) again to you. Im fat & frumpy so can see where your coming from!

    Ive got someone coming round shortlly from freecycle to have a look at some wood OH has been storing for ages behind the shed, I hope they take it.

    Best be off
    Bye for now
    Emma

    p.s thankyou to those regarding my earlier "comment" to my ex, I know I shouldn't beat myself up about it, and It was heat of the moment thing, but when his dad is dying - Oh gosh - wish I could turn the clock back!

    Good Morning everyone
    It's lovely & sunny here today in Berkshire
    Groatie, well done for keeping the 'family' stuff going, I'd love to have that sort of relationship with my EXDH, but no chance, he slags me of to our kids at every opportunity, he is the one who has lost out though as the kids all now avoid him where ever possible, they are all between 20 & 30 so I feel they are all old enough to make their own judgements.
    Pen Pin, I used to work for a car dealership & we always used to find Tesco insurance was cheapest, my premium went down from £356 to £160 when I swaped from Saga.
    Smokey, I just love the pics you post, they brighten up my day.
    Catowen, being out of their league is a compliment I'm sure, I bet you are a real stunner.
    So far today I've hung the lodgers washing on the line, put some of my own on, DW is on & BM is going on in a sec.
    Hubby has watered all the pots & hanging baskets before it gets too hot.
    My neighbour has dropped her keys in as she is going to a wedding & won't be back till tomorrow & I'm feeding her cats for her.
    The rest of my stock arrived Wednesday, & a collegue from work is taking some publicity photo's for me so it is all systems go & fingures crossed.
    If it takes off I'm hoping to be able to just do one job instead of three & run my business evenings & weekends. I am determined to make a success of it & see it as a poke in the eye for my EXDH who has gone to great lengths to see me pennyless.
    Hugs to all who need them
    Hester
