The OS Doorstep - a helpful and supportive thread in these tough times

princessx87, I too have the dreaded dental phobia. I had to have 2 wisdom teeth out last year, travelled over an hour to a hospital that sedates you, well I was out to sleep in the end. Even under sedation when asked to open my mouth I shook my head and refused - so they gave me some more and I was asleep. I woke up a while later, remembered nothing but was really sore and tired!! Your no alone.....

KEZ it's none of my business but I really do think you would be better to tell your OH whatever is his reaction pet, it is bound to come to his attention one way or another and if you tell him now, it will be a less difficult situation than if someone else tells him in a few days time. Yes, he'll be cross but if you explain how it has happened yourself at least he'll have the truth and reality of it and not the chinese whispers version that is inevitable when it's done the rounds a few times? I know it's hard and I know none of it is of your making but better from you in the cold light of day than from someone else in mischief mode? Lyn xxx.

Kez as the others have said you will have to tell your OH. For it to happen is bad enough but for him to find out later will be so much worse. There are credit implications with it which means he will find out at some point. He may not like it but maybe if he had done more you wouldn't have been in the position of asking her in the first place.

Have had very little sleep OH left at 3.30 and woke me when he got up at 2.30 so am feeling much worse. Had been hoping to get a couple of hours sleep this morning in between school runs but he used last of bread so I need to shop instead.

Thank i have told him, we had a chat and screamed at me but then he said right well we'll deal with it when its comes to it.

I told him what the police said, well thats it nothing we can do. So hes angry but resigned.

He's not confrontational but he did say if they come anywhere near me i'll not be responsible for my actions.


One of the witches already tried to break myself and partner a few months. She said things to him and made me paranoid, hence the card thing. But when she tried to say about neglecting kids he laughed in her face and said err i don't think so. Your neglecting your kids by spending al they dla allowance on booze. He called her a sick and twisted doyle and should never have been allowed to breed. his words, honestly he can't stand her.


pops glad you had a good night. Walnut and date bread is lush, and when heated tastes a bit like sticky toffee pudding very moreish

Morning all

Fairy, Kidcat and Lillibet - how are you all feeling today? Hugs to you both.

EDIT: sorry Kez didn't see you last post.

Kez - I am so angry on your behalf about your money theft. Sending you my biggest hugs and we will support you whatever happens. You did brilliantly telling the police. I second what Mrs LW said about telling your DH - the stress of covering up will be huge and if you don't end up getting some/all of the money back then he is bound to notice the impact on your finances. I know this all seems unbelievably horrible and stressful now on several levels but you will get through and look back in years to come at another difficult situation you got through.

I am feeling a bit brighter in myself and back much better but still feeling tired so going easy with things. Today was my first decent size shop and I was able to lift things heavier than a loaf out of the trolley so :j We also have sunshine and I have a laundry volcano.... smelly socks about to overflow the laundry bins.... not nice.... so have some washing ready to hang out soon and more to go after.

DS9 has been asking so nicely (no whining) if my back is better so his poor friend (who was meant to come round for tea 2/3 weeks ago and I had to cancel) can come over. Trouble is I now have to play catch up with lots of basics... promised next week if not this one though and we will have a fun half term break too.

My winter preps are coming on at a snail's pace but accelerated today.... my body decided it needed some extra fat stores (as if I haven't enough to be getting on with ) and I have over indulged my ravenous appetite. Yes I have been gluttonous and now feeling like a hippo expecting triplets.

Just checked our bank account and horrified at how empty its looking, 3 weeks since pay day and another 2 weeks to go and just paid a tax credits overpayment from 2 years ago (their fault they took so long to adjust it and then bill us grrrr) On the plus side we have a fair amount of food in and I am running Chesty down so will manage as usual.

I didn't think we had any food nicknames but we do have "wheezers in a bowl" which requires all of us singing together to a tune* thus:

weezers in a bowl,
those lovely weezers,
weezers in a bowl,
la la la la la

* please make up your own tune

you need the tune to get the full effect. Weezers are wheatabix nearly forgot to mention!

Jeez I am as mad as a hatter without a hat :rotfl:

washing ready to go.... laters

Morning all. It sounds like we are all having a rough week. Little brother was unceromoniously booted out of bed and told to get his backside into school last week, so he decided that meant i didnt want him here and he refused to come home for 3 days! He went to our older brother who allowed him to sleep on his rather dirty and definatly smelly sofa but didnt get any sympathy. He wore the same clothes for those 3 days and didnt bath. He had some very pointed looks at school as brother still made him go. Dad and i both told the school straight away what was happening and little brother came home with his tail between his legs. He was then pointed firmly at the bathroom and told to wash thoroughly! His clothes were washed seperately to everyone elses too.
This week my housing association took me to court over rent arrears. After taking into account that there were 3 weeks of housing benefit due to be paid i was only in arrears by 2 weeks, so just over £200. I had made arrangements to clear it which i have stuck to but they still took me to court and i now have another £100 court fees to pay too. It didnt help that i discovered on tuesday that 2 of my payments have vanished (still have the receipts though) I think it is something to do with when registering for the online thing that lets me keep track of my rent, i found that my old tenancy had not been closed after i moved 8 years ago. I raiseed the query with my hosing association who sorted it out and then sent me a new rent card - which has a totally different account number on it and only arrived after i made the 2nd missing payment. Life is so much fun sorting it all out!

Kez well done. Are you still having your holiday next week in Blackpool?

Sevenup rent arrears need to be two months before legal proceedings so they may have been premature and you can possibly get the charges back. Well worth contacting cab to see if they can help.

SQ I feel rotten today and my face looks awful but am hopeful that the meds will kick in tomorrow.

Still, it has to be faced and the Rev has expressed an interest in churches as far apart as Cornwall and Solihull. We go to see the bigger boss next week, (taller in height and enormous in ambition but a pygmy in integrity) to talk about the possibilities. I've always plunged into new adventures before, but this is somehow different. I feel unsettled.

Come to Solihull Monnogran, we need you! :T

See monnagran, you're needed and much loved off the island too

Some very hard hitting things read of late but out of all of it stems that huge dollop of hope for Burtha I adore that you're sprightly in posting spirit

Need to just raise a huge sigh of relief. I bought 2 big cartons of PJ t*ps on offer months ago and not enjoyed a cuppa since. They have now been supped and my usual in my cupboards.

Who knew? I have had email from my internet service provider telling me that there has been a request from the people moving into my house in 3 weeks time to cancel my broadband and that I will be charged £45 in order to do so as it will be breaking my contract! Flipping Nora! On the phone I get to try to block it. Disaster averted and won't be cancelled until I call with details of my house move the week of the 5th November. Shesh. You think you're in control of you're own services. Seems not?
