    morning all..

    dd still asleep bless her she is in a show this week singing and dancing and been to rehearsals tues and wed/ show starts for real tonight, she has a niggling cough that has been keeping her awake so doped her up last night seems to have done the trick to let her get some sleep, need to get lozengers today for her to suck on.

    off to aldis in a wee while so will have to get her up but will leave it till after postman comes as expecting some parcels.

    SCUZZ I feel after reading about your relationship over the last few weeks that he is running away from something if your go abroad. He has got things/issues he has to sort out and I would let him have a little bit of space to work these issues out. I feel whatever happens you probably going to get hurt with this bloke as he never going to give you the kind of commitment and affection you need as a individual so please be prepared for that.

    hugs to you at this time as I can imagine your head is up your backside so to speak


    CATOWEN just remember that sleepovers doesnt mean they going to sleep hee hee good luck

    TAPLADY good luck with slimming world im doing that one as well..

    Hugs to all and catch up with you all laters

    Have a good day

    Morning all

    Scuzz - Walk away - you deserve to be loved and adored - he's obviously got problems he needs to address so give him the space and concentrate on yourself.

    Hugs to all the poorly ones.....or those who just fancy one.

    Looks grey out there again this morning, not opened the curtains yet though...grabbed a cup of tea and some toast and I'm back in bed with the laptop.

    We're off to a 40th party on Saturday, I'd bought DD's a new outfit each, very summery strappy little tops and skirts but it's far to cold to wear them - even with a cardi....not the sort of thing you could put tights with either, so off into town this morning to see if I can find them an alternative. DD2 has been invited out for lunch and off to Margate for the afternoon for a friends birthday so will have some girly time with DD1 who's off to France on her residential trip on monday :eek:

    Still doing well on the Paul McKenna CD, my eating habits have changed enormously, the only downside is that as I'm not thinking about food, I keep forgetting to get anything out the freezer for dinner :rolleyes: So as I've just though about it - I will get out some chicken breasts for a stir fry.

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Hello everyone,

    Well all packed up here and waiting for DD to ring, then will make our coffee flask & chuck the cold bits & pieces in and off we go again. :rolleyes: Tonight we are staying near Hadrian's Wall so we can explore it then to Wales tomorrow.
    Rellies were a bit surprised we leave in 3 weeks but are all asking when we are coming back? They must obviously like us. :D Got a big surprise yesterday :p DNiece is 8 weeks pregnant :T and due around my birthday. 10 days earlier in fact but I told her to clamp her legs together until then.

    Scuzz I know it sounds harsh but walk away. I wouldn't even bother giving him *space*. You will just be hanging on feeling just as miserable. Put it down to a bad life experience that we all go through. No matter how many excuses you make for him, the relationship you have is NOT the right one to have. (((((hugs))))) You deserve far better and don't you forget it. Don't confide in his family either. OK love & xxxx from Auntie Aussie :D

    Kyle Your mouth should be better by now not worse. You might have to see dr's again.

    Well off to have a wee surf before DH shuts the computer off. Have a lovely day and the weather has improved. :jByeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    :hello: Good Morning!

    ((((HUGS)))) to Scuzz - agree totally with Kyle (how wise she is) you need to back away for a while and give the guy some space to deal with his issues. I know this will be hard but concentrate on yourself for now. The girl that won ds's heart is the girl that gave him space. You deserve to be treated better than this love!

    Yesterday was a mixed day of highs and lows at the Catz household! Main high was ds got the job he had worked so hard for, complete with significant payrise and opportunities so we are bursting with pride here :j

    Low was oh's job has been downgraded :eek: so until we know what's what we will have to be extra careful with the pennies.
    It could all be for the best (less stress etc) only time will tell.

    More energy today so hope to get that inventory done, we are living out of the storecupboard this week, successful and interesting so far and will be joining the pms challenge and the grocery challenge in June.

    Hope those with children at home are enjoying the school hols and the quality time together, they grow up all to soon!

    Catz x
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    Hello Everybody!
    I've been lurking on this and the flylady thread for a while now and thought it was about time to join in as you all seem such lovely people and you've perked me up if I feel down.

    Haven't done much flyladying or much else this week. My neighbour brought me a 3 week old farm kitten last Thursday night and I've been demand feeding him. He's gorgeous so it's not been much of a trial! My other 3 indoor cats are just about getting used to him now, which is good, as he's just at the "bouncing about working out how to best get into trouble" stage! Now 4 weeks old and he can put on a big turn of speed when he wants to. Got our hands full with this one! Somehow thinks he's found his forever home - he bonded with the OH on the 3 day weekend. :T

    Dustbin day today. I can't see what all the fuss is about on the news etc with 2-weekly non-recyclables collection. I think there is about 3 or 4 small carrier bags full lurking somewhere near the bottom of our wheelie bin....... now I still only put out 1/2 a binful fortnightly.
    QUOTE]

    ...Oh Chipps I'm SOO glad I'm not the only one wondering what the fuss is about. Honestly the media would make fuss about tummybutton fluff if they could! I've tried an experiment this month and haven't put our bin out at all. It's only 1/3 full and to be honest, most of that is cat litter and empty cat food pouches. It's really not hard to recycle, I wish people would just get on with it. Even Mr T takes back clean salad or frozen food bags for recycling! But some folk are odd... yesterday I found a carrier bag of newspapers thrown away in a litter bin....30 yards away from the newspaper recycling centre! :mad:

    Ooh got to go. Postie has just delivered some sweet potato slips I ordered to try for the first time. When they said slips I didn't realise they were plants that need potting up straight away! ooh fun time today. Wonder if Finn the kitten wants to play in the potting soil!

    ((((Hugs)))) to all that need them.
  • Good morning :j

    Haven't posted for a while, but I've got 2 days off work :T I'm sat here deciding what to do with the day, and there's so much that needs doing I can't decide where to start :rolleyes:

    My new table and chairs have been delivered this morning (typical - I book the day off work for them to be delivered, and they turn up at 7.30am :eek: ). I'm really pleased as it's the first large item DH and I have saved for, rather than sticking it on plastic - it's nice to know it's all mine :D

    (((((hugs))))) Scuzz - if you're being sent home from work with stress, something cant be right - you're worth more than this.

    Just about to cook a nice brekkie for DD and I, lunch will be tomato soup, and dinner will be creamy spaghetti carbonara.

    (((((hugs))))) to everyone - and Kyle - get to the Dr's :naughty::D
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    Good Morning All

    Totally agree Amie - what a waste of time that was last night! Think I will still watch to see if it improves, but otherwise, for the first time. Im contemplating on givin it a miss. My two fav's at the mo is Carole & the Welsh nanny (laura?)

    Catowen - So sorry to hear about your friend's mum! She must be devasted, and even more so that she's unable to make the funeral! I do hope her DD will be ok! But with you looking after her - Im sure she will be!

    Scuzz - think kyle has said it for us all! (((big hugs))) anyway.

    taplady - well done on the weight loss.

    dlb - you stick to your guns girl ref witch and the fence! Im right behind you. Hope DH does take it easy!

    Ive taken mince out of the freezer for dinner later, we will either have spag bol or savoury mince. Not sure yet!

    A friend at work is giving me the phone number to her milkman, as my one turned out to be a waste of space! Charging me differently each week, and then all of a sudden going from £1.17 a bottle to £1.56. Lets just say, I gave him a few chosen words and told him not to return until he has the price sorted out. He's not been back!

    Off for a shower now, catch you later
    Love Emma xxx

    Other than that will be ironing and cleaning. But first I need some toast I am starving. Didnt watch much BB last night - always hate the first couple of nights.

    Anyway best be off - have a great day.

    I tried asking how he feels about me and he said "he doesn't want to rush into things, but does care". Now last week he wanted us to move abroad together and buy a business. I told him I don't want my heart broken, but all he said was he doesn't want to be hurt either, especially after all he's been through this year.

    <<suczz>> You have to realise that men and women just don't approach these things in the same way. On the whole, men (unlike women) aren't really programmed to talk it all out when they're going through a tough time. Men (again, I'm generalising) like to work things out themselves.

    I can imagine that your boyfriend cares very much for you, and it's scaring him a bit. He's had a carp year, he's not long out of another deep relationship, and he doesn't want to get hurt (or hurt you). He also probably wants to be sure that what he's feeling is real, and not just feelings generated by him being on the rebound. It's possible things are just moving too fast for him.

    You know how you feel. You've told him how you feel. And now - wothout meaning to, or maybe even realising it - you're putting lots of pressure on him. Give him some space to work things out for himself - reassure him that you're in no rush, you know how you feel, and you will give him time to work out what he wants to do. Tell him you' don't want to put any more pressure on him, and that you're there to talk with when he's ready... and you'd love to know what he's thinking, when he's ready to tell you.
