Oh dear, what's going on flyladies? So many trying times happening all round. For those of you with poorly relatives or friends, I send coping vibes, with your own health issues I send get well vibes and spoons, and to Cat especially, I too don't know what's happened but you must be out of your mind, I hope everything works out for the best x

FFP my DD has just had the same thing, seemed to be short lived, though. Hoping its not spreading as DS said he had tummy ache last night and mine feels yuck today :eek:

Anyway, they have gone to nursery, and she was starving this morning bless her, so she had something here and said she wants more brekkie at nursery too, so I take that as a good sign.

So it's all quiet and I'm getting some work done! Hurrah!

Thanks for all the good wishes. I probably don't deserve them. I was criminally, irresponsibly stupid and was caught drunk driving.

By the sounds of it you are beating yourself up enough over this without anyone else casting judgement.

Hopefully you will avoid jail but please.. don't do it again.. There are so many people whose lives have been ruined by such thoughtless acts.. and I'm sure you wouldn't want to cause that pain to any family, including your own!! Living with the guilt of hurting (or worse) another person would crush me.. and I'm sure it would you too. xx

i agree with what pigpen has said, it sounds as if its a lesson learned Cat so sending you to jail would not really do anything other than cost money.

Hi there and greetings from the tree house. Bossymoo, I'm re-iterating what you said and sending posi-vibes to all those many flyladies and their families who are poorly, or waiting for treatment and/or results; there are a lot of people suffering at the moment. I'm also glad your DD is feeling better.

Busy morning here, cleaned out conservatory ready for going away this weekend - also coloured my hair - which means I'll have that chemical smell all day! It never seems to go until the next shampoo!!
I'll apologise for my 'funny smell' when I get to work!!

Also tidied round as we are out all day tomorrow visiting my poorly brother, which is a 2.5 hour trip each way. Thankfully he is a wee bit better, which is such a relief. OH still under the weather and goes back for his scan results Thurs morning, so we hope he is well enough to travel this weekend - at the moment he is.

Good wishes all round - and - I meant to ask who was reading 'Gone Girl'? Was it you, Mrs Moneypenny? If the right flylady reads this, without giving the story away, what did you think of the ending? I was a bit disappointed.

Good wishes all round, R x

Well... I have sneakily got the phone numbers from OH's phone which he has been peeing me off by texting/ringing. None of the texts appear incriminating BUT... they are not saved under a name and I am pretty sure it is a different number to the one I saw ringing a couple of weeks ago.. though, given the message content being the same it may be my memory recall playing up.

It was quicker to photograph the number on the screen than to copy the number down.. so that is what I did.. then uploaded to my Hotmail so it cannot be 'lost' ... I feel like a super sleuth now lol..

Towels left out overnight are now in and folded ready to go away.

Moomin at hospital after school so I need to sort that..
these 2 tiddlies are being absolutely awfully behaved at the moment.. I think they might be a bit bored.

OH sweeping the mess they remade in the kitchen.. I already cleaned it up twice.. I think I might need double door handles like they have at nursery! or electronic locking system thing and a code to open it!

Money been made dizzy, need to do a bit more tomorrow

I have a damp mog on my lap, and not my usual one, this one never sits on my lap and is a fidget, must be happy though as he is dribbling.

DS1 has surprised me by putting pen to paper and writing us a good old fashioned letter from the USA. He sounds so busy and full of life and experiences, so very happy for him.

Need to take DS3 shopping as soon as he gets home from school, loaded the boot with stuff for the dump in case we have time whilst we are in the next town. Then he has a party and I have new parents evening at his secondary school.
