    I believe that Atos will try to have most of us that speak out agenst them removed from this site. As I the past this has been done on other sites. And Atos have even been able to get charity forums closed down In the past.

    Morning All,

    Sunny and bright but cold in Hastings.:T

    I have DGD this morning because DD is going to be with my Dad. It's his final review with the NHS. Hopefully we will find out today if they are going to pay his fees. If not I'm not sure how I will manage. I am running out of money, the Social Services say I have to pay until July. I said I didn't have enough money till July and was told "You'll have to find it yourself!" How can I apy £3000 a month for Dad when I don't even get £1000 for myself coming in?:eek::mad: Still, let's hope today is okay.:o

    I want an electric can opener too. My one touch gave up the ghost Saturday in the middle of opening a tin:mad: Never worked properly anyway. Argos have some, so will get that today.

    Fasting day today, so Strawberry, banana and yoghurt shake for breakfast, smoked haddock and poached egg for dinner.

    It seems to be working. Scales need a new battery so will check my weight in town.

    Enjoy the day!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    TTFTM - I sympathise, I get nervous anywhere near hospitals, and that's only as a visitor. As yet, I've never had to stay in hospital, so I dread to think what sort of state I'd be in

    Well, today is a nice sunny day. I've already walked up to the post office with my eBay parcels, and will do another run this afternoon.

    I've got a load to go in the washing machine, and then housework - vacuuming and the kitchen.

    We have haddock for dinner tonight. I like fish and try to have it at least a couple of times a week.

    Enjoy your day, all

    Morning all!
    DS is out on a driving lesson, then home to empty his bedroom of junk as his new bed comes tomorrow. I have just dyed my hair, couldn't stand the grey any longer!
    No doubt I will be running to the tip again with DS treasured possessions, otherwise not a lot other than the ironing pile I couldn't be bothered attacking yesterday!
    RIP Iain

    afternoon!

    off to work soon but thought I'd pop in first!

    Been a hectic weekend helping DS pack and move stuff - still only half way through it all!

    Taking some HM bean chilli towork for tea. DH having something out of freezer.

    House tidy(apart from DSs room)

    Washing on airer. Small amount of ironing to do.

    Hilstep - a friend at work is doing your diet and seems to be doing well with it. It wouldn't suit me as I like to eat regularly and could not manage on 500 calories or whatever it is even if it is only for 2 days a week. Well done so far!:T

    Candy - (((hugs))) x x x

    Have a lovely day all x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    That makes very interesting but absolutely apalling reading. How can ATOS treat anyone like that.

    ATOS are a complete disgrace and shame on anyone who gets people banned for asking perfectly legitimate questions :mad:

    afternoon all

    havent been around but have have been lurking. BD has come to stay. me and hubby have been having problems and he is staying with his mum for the time being. she's having health problems at the moment and not being very clear on what is happening with it. all very well her burying her head in the sand but she is causing a lot of worry and stress on the rest of the family and is completely oblivious to it. i cant say i get with her but dont wish her to be ill. so things are bit stressful to say the least.

    apart from the baby and ds are doing ok. both of them have been struggling with ezcema but now have steriod cream. ds had a antiobiotic cream and the baby oral anitbiotics but it seems to be clearing up. weaning starts at the weekend. have struggling to hold off this long. he will be 16 weeks at the weekend so going for it. he is gaining around 1.5/2lb every two weeks lately :eek:

    had a big clear out yesterday. kitchen has been completely decluttered and sorted. started on my bedroom as well. the boys bedroom has been done too. just my bedroom to finish then its the toys to be done. also baby clothes to be sorted as he has grown out of them so quickly. going into 6-9month old clothes already :eek: will pass them onto boys godmother who is expecting a little boy.

    other than that not much os going on. all left over veg has been pureed down and put into ice cube trays for the baby ready.

    i have disabled my fb. friendships arent what i thought they were and dont feel it is needed anymore. i realise that sounds stroppy but dont know how else i mean to to word :undecided

    anyway hugs to islandmaid. sorry to hear about baxter :( hope monnagran is ok :o hugs to anyone else who wants/needs them
