So sorry to hear your sad news Feisty. xx

Robbie is gorgeous OMO. x

Not long to go now Nanamia! :j

Ameyturtle-Good luck with all of your tasks. I have a similar list of things that need doing. (mental list for now as as much as I love lists it scares me to write it down right now lol) It seems very overwhelming but a few things at a time and you will get it all done. x

Well, all went back to 'normal' today, back to school and swimming. Had fluey symptoms and really sore throat plus toothache for a few days now, hope I can shake it soon because feeling unwell all the time is wearing me down. Especially as DS has not been going to sleep until very late recently. He has never been a very good sleeper but has got much worse lately. Add that to me tossing and turning when I finally manage to sleep and its one very tired me. Am going to do my tesco shop now as toothache is stopping me from sleeping! x

I was just wondering where you were moneysavingmumofone ! You poor thing you've had one thing after another recently haven't you I hope you start feeling better soon we've missed you. X
Louise thank you, I love the avatar and it looks just like the photos DS has been sending, few days early but I'm getting ready
Ruth_honey glad you are feeling a bit better, hope the chat with your friend cheered you a little- the gym can wait, it'll still be there!
Nic oh no. I feel for you. You poor thing feistys boss's words are so true. Please please be kind to yourself. I believe only very strong people get depression IMHO you must never never feel a failure. We really are all her for you. Never feel that you can't come in and chat, laugh, cry, giggle there is usually one of us about xxx
Msgigglewick I remember the feeling well when my two started nursery:( It's such a big step and perfectly natural maternal feeling
Feisty your old boss was so right. They are wise words indeed. And your poor doggy Of course you are sad, he was a family member. Sending big hugs. (Aarrrghh what was your Mum thinking!!!)
Snugglebunny thanks hope they've still got the tree:) sounds like just what I need:) ( would like) ha x
SugarSpun your poor DD I would have been fuming too:( poor little mite. I hope she is feeling ok now and that words have been had if necessary x
Ameyturtle feisty has given excellent advice, babysteps are the answer. Don't kno if you've looked at the flylady thread on the OS board. I didn't stick to it for long! But even if you stick to level ones you do see an improvement and I started to think more organised if that makes sense:)
Linda-Lou so lovely words again and good advice. X
Chickywiggle out you come, lurkdome is no place for you we need you:) xx
Freespirit hope you manage to get sorted re the drs

And once again thanks for your kind words and support. Yes as freespirit says it is such a relief to see DSiL improving, at least I feel it's ok to go away now. At today's visit she wasn't as good as she has been but had had her hair washed and blown (1st time since mid nov) and looked fab. So think she was probably exhausted. She was a little confused but hey aren't we all sometimes!
You should see the state of my house I have bundles, list, more bundles, carrier bags etc etc etc. gotta have a very productive day tomorrow me thinks:) xxx
I'm a bit stuck as to what to travel in any advice would be great. X

Linky where are you??????

mumof3plusoh

Feisty so very sorry to hear about your dog. They are a part of the family and are very special little friends. I talk to my boys (2 Yorkies) all the time. I too have lost some special little boys and I fill up everytime I think of them which is well over 5 and 10 yrs ago. If you need to have a cry then go ahead. Sending massive hugs and we are all here for you. x

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A FULL BODY MASSAGE?
that inc, full legs and feet, buttocks, back, tummy, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, chest, neck, face and scalp, & is 1 hour long.

I would generally expect to pay 50-80 in a spa setting, maybe 50 if it was in my house. Are you bringing a massage table with you? That would make it seem more legitimate to me, iyswim, so the 50 would feel ok.

Thanks ladies. I sent my DH in with her this morning and the offending kid was very scowly but noticed him watching her and didn't interact with her at all. Apparently the staff were all run off their feet but he'll talk to them at collection time.

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words. I have to say that my poor little Chihuahua's may have got a bit smothered with extra affection yesterday - luckily for me they are total lap dogs

Nana, I hope you have a wonderful time, I'm going to miss you!

Linky? Where are you?? x

hi all
bhatti again,

BIG QUESTION

HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A FULL BODY MASSAGE?
that inc, full legs and feet, buttocks, back, tummy, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, chest, neck, face and scalp, & is 1 hour long.

i wanna start offering massages from home and i don't want price to put people off relaxing.

also i want to start doing gel and acrylic nails from home, what girls on here pay?

many thanks

Full body massage costs anything from 40-85 locally here, home visits typically 40-50. We've just brought out my dads half of their holistic therapies clinic so I've been checking out competitor prices lately! Not sure on nails as we don't offer those...yet! I'm looking into a manicure pedicure course to start me out as we have a spare room at clinic that would be perfect, so I will be interested myself to know what to charge in the future.

Nanamia

Careful feisty lap dog she may be but don't blooming smother her! Ha. Don't be missing me I'm taking my Ipad DS broadband is a little temperamental but I will still be here. Boring you all with my adventure:) xxx

Nanamia

Linky I'm getting worried. Where are you. Really hoping you are ok:-) xxx

Ameyturtle

I'm awake, have had a rather awful nights sleep, am off to find coffee before the hospital, I need to write the address on a parcel to send on the way out.
