    Skint - massive hugs to you and DD1. I agree that she needs to get registered with a GP asap.

    DD managed to get the pad from Mr T :j She definitely needs a fob for shopping in there :rotfl:

    I'm off to get dressed and start the lists...I'll have a bath tomorrow while DD is out with her dad and I can chill. ;)

    Hugs, Skint, for both you and your DDs. Nothing I can say will be enough, or right, but I wanted you to know my heart goes out to you.
    Better is good enough.

    Deco a RL hug will have to wait til I am not so raw....the EX is coming to visit DD3 and DS today, I can't risk a hug from him.....the adage of "don't go shopping an empty stomach" may have an application on this one

    ETA thanks HB and nicki

    Oh skinty god bless you and your DD what a heartbreaking story - there is nothing so painful as seeing our children hurting :(


    Roofer has been and is not happy with the plastering. Now I've seen what he pointed out, he's right it's not even. Not sure what the plan is now - he can't get hold of the plasterer :eek:

    Bit frustrating not knowing as the kids want to play out (still stuff in garden) or in conservatory (do I finish cleaning if they are coming to start again?) or in garage (full of conservatory stuff).

    So I took them out, only to get a call from roofer: "you're not here!" Erm let me know you're coming and I will be!!!

    Anyway. Suppose I'll go make some snack for the kids. They had picnic quite early and we'll never make it to dinner...

    Skinty I can't begin to imagine the heartache for both you and DD1; loads of posi-vibes for you both.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    (((Skint & dd))) xxx

    Today I have cleaned the front of the cupboards in the kitchen & some skirtings & walls. Upstairs is also hoovered. I've got washing on the line & will iron that later.

    I will be sorting paperwork this afternoon.
