    I've just had a good long old fashioned sob and a weep and a howl at the general misery and unfairness of life - if anyone wants to join me then put the kids and the dog in the garden first so you don't upset them as well.

    Its the things that are out of your hands that you have no control over that really get to you.

    Firstly my OH rang to say eldest childs presentation went OK. She's applied for an internal post, sent off her shiny new CV, her refs are OK and she was just expecting a date for an interview but 2 days ago she got a message that they wanted a Presentation from her so she worked 12 hours yesterday to get it ready for this morning. This has gone fine but she still has 2 more stages to go through so its still not a dead cert.

    Then youngest child rang to say he is working this weekend so he wont be home, maybe next week but we could have done with a proper catch up. We've not spoken to him properly for nearly 2 weeks so I had to resort to sending him a letter yesterday or by the time we do see him again I'll have forgotten everything I want to say!

    Then the post came with a letter from my Aunty Eilly asking for my Dads address again. I'd not replied to the letter she sent three weeks ago because I was hoping to have better news for them about my Dad but there is no improvement so I just have to grit my teeth and write the letter. Ive just got the piece of paper out with three phone numbers on, Ellys and my cousins 2 numbers but Ive decided not to ring them or it would worry them. I don't even know if the mobile number is the current one.

    But worst of all a brown envelope came. My eldest son is out on tour in a month or two time and they send a letter to the familes with the name of the tour and details of the contact and numbers etc and a booklet with lovely smiley faces, uniforms and families and babies etc on the cover entitled

    "A guide for the families of deployed Regular Army Personnel"

    Twice I've got it out of the envelope now and put it away, cant even open the booklet.

    Eldest son drives me completely demented but even so it rips me to shreds that he is going out to that place for 6 months, no leave and he probally wont even think to contact us more than the absolute bare minimum.

    So I am going to go and get myself ready and have a stroll around the supermarkets and tackle some of my numerous APG/TPP/couponing/glitch/cashback
    lists and then come back, clean the kitchen, make a banana loaf, do some competitions and generally keep frantically busy so I don't have to think or worry or dwell on things about the kids or my Dad or anything ...
    Without wanting to take over the thread with Off topic conversation, I just miss my mum. Its been three years. I sometimes want/need to pick up the phone to hear her voice, and knowing I can't, just destroys me. I'm missing my mother so much today. Don't know where this came from. Its out of the blue. It feels like the first day. The day I heard she was gone.

    I'm so ashamed.:o
    I got the bus home from T's, I had one big bag and another with a Thomas the tank toy (Shark exhibit on offer for £12 instead of £25:)) as I'm walking down the aisle on the bus I've whacked a woman's knee with the box. Without thinking I've stopped and bent down to rub it. The look on the woman's face was priceless :rotfl: once I realised I was rubbing a grown woman leg and not a child's I apologised and legged it to the back of the bus :eek::rotfl:
    I must think before doing stuff when I'm in public :D:rotfl:

    A work colleague borrowed a pair of scissors from me and I automatically said "be careful with those, they're sharp", he replied "don't worry, I won't run with them..."

    A quick post before going back to catch up. Hope everyone is well.



    Happy birthday Mr Stink

    I wore Spanx under my wedding dress all day, it's (very) expensive but does work well, and is comfortable too.

    It sounds like you're mum is channelling your dsis, lol!

    Sorry to read about your neighbour, I hope things work out okay for him.

    The likeness is uncanny :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: good job it was her knee :D

    Good job it was a woman. I seriously would have just died it they had been male :eek::rotfl: it was such a natural response. My boy has my clumsy genes so I'm always rubbing his ouchies better. Omg, thinking back, thank Christ I didn't kiss it better :eek::D

    Oh my days, it never rains but it pours. Just realised I paid £2.20 for jaffa cakes in As when I went in to look for the baby bits only to find they didnt stock them. So I went to see if it was in Ts and ended up in that mess! Ts jaffa cakes only £1.09, no APG as I didnt get 10 items!

    Going to lie sobbing in a dark corner only disturb me if there is an e epic glitch!
