    Thanks all today has been a bit more bearable!

    re: tickets do a 5 clue treasure hunt .. Clue one could be found hidden with clue leading to number to wrote on orange paper (he has ginger hair) clue three could be a empty beer bottle with a tag saying "drunk again?" (One of. Eds most popular songs) clue 4 could be a small Lego made square with a tag saying look inside then at dah the ticket! ( Lego house is always a well known Ed song :) sounds very cheesy lol x

    OMG thats an amazing idea I can't wait to do that thank you so much. I also love the witches hat idea for the Wicked tickets, my daughters going to be so confused and will think I've lost the plot lol

    Hi all!

    Hugs to all especially JJ - sorry life isn't treating you too well at the moment.

    Pixtotts - I currently have craftermath in my living room after attempting quilling for the first time this weekend.

    Omo - my sister asked for a toaster for Christmas and I asked her for cutlery - boring perhaps, but definitely useful ;)

    The toaster is off the list. The one I have now is very good and has 3 cool walls that were black plastic. They are now white plastic. It is just drying in the garden. A very productive and MSE lunch break. :D
  • Afternoon everyone, something has downloaded on my laptop overnight, internet explorer 9 i think from yahoo and it has wiped everything, my pictures, favourites, documents, family history stuff the whole bloo*y kit and kaboodle :mad::mad::mad: but one good thing i can now type properly on here instead of waiting 30 seconds to do a flipping letter it was driving me insane plus all my emoticons are moving again??? Just done boring housework today hoovering and mopping and watched another Disney Classic, now just seen DS has got me down for another one tomorrow :)

    SUNDAYS CHALLENGE
    If you start to feel depressed it can be very easy to get into a cycle of automatic negative thoughts that then become difficult for you to challenge: you get depressed and then you get more depressed about being depressed. Being in a state of depression can then become a bigger problem than the actual difficulties that caused it in the first place

  • Had to buy 2 new fence panels today but luckily enough had the money out aside in my emergency find (idea from another thread) So no direct spend from my current account. They are being delivered on Weds so hopefully my 2 sons can drop them into place.
    Got my pre op on Weds for my foot op. Hoping they can sort out the painkillers because the ones I am on at the moment make me away with the fairies (sometime it's hard to tell the difference!)

    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday Murie :bdaycake:

    I have been on Pinterest looking for small storage ideas and I came across Survival Kits. Some of those American pinners are blooming crazy. I re-pinned 2 from normal people.
    One was for a dog. I am going to make that one. It is a box with a lead, bowls, food and bottled water. Bar the bottled water I have spares of everything else. It would be handy if we go out with her for the day.

    Night . :)

    hi all just popping on to pass on hugs and positive vibes to those who need them, espically jj.
    house hunting sucks :-(, got pipped to the post on the first one we put in for as someone put in on the day of viewing but we had to wait til the next morning as the office was closed when we viewed and the landlord said as they were first they could have it :-( so this time i was first to ring to arrange viewing and first to view and told them we wanted it there and then and this time they said got to put all applicants forward so landlord can choose, so now have to wait and see if we get chosen, cant win, fingers crossed please x
    p.s happy birthday Murie x
