Evening everyone,

PIXTOTTS thankyou, good luck with the shop on etsy i have always fancied chickens but im just too frightened of rats and they are really attracted to them urggghh shudders at the thought

HISMISSUS thankyou, glad you have decided on DHs birthday

GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY thankyou, yes i still cant believe it

PRINCESSKITTY thankyou, that is a lovely thing to say, yes it has been bl**dy frustrating, and people saying to me dont pay it, but seen as he had my name against them too, i couldnt stand the thought of not paying and having to go to court, the bank werent even bothered where he was just kept chasing me :mad: perhaps i have cut my nose off to spite my face BUT it is all over now, another part of my life sorted. Aww i bet you are feeling weird today, life changes however big or small make a big impact on our lives, make the most of the time left before baby arrives to relax, look after yourself and do things you have really wanted to do but havent had the time or the energy to do.

MRSMONEYPENNY thankyou, glad you had a great day

3FORTHEHOLIDAYS thankyou, hope you are enjoying the weather too

DROPSOFJUPITER thankyou, and tax problem all sorted, i received a letter today saying no more tax returns need to be filled in

MOTHERNERD thankyou

FEISTY oh thankyou what a lovely thing to say, yes they have been fabulous and i am very very lucky. Oh that is the best news, the perfect thing that you and DH need, a complete break away from everyone and everything, well done for closing everything down, nobody deserves this as much as you two do, and i wish you everything with knobs and bells on too :rotfl:for your appt with the fertility specialist, i have just hired a jcb and am having baby dust delivered as we speak ;) have a fab time xx

Good Morning.

Congratulations Freespirit I bet you feel amazing.

FF hope you have a lovely relaxing time.

Pixtotts good luck with the shop. I'm nervous about just making lead hooks for FB let alone a proper selling site. At least you know that the people that go to that site are looking for the kind of thing you make.

Well the signs and bones are here, I just have to get to B&Q today and get the paints, then town to get the Sharpies.
I will probably paint them tonight and finish them tomorrow.

I have someone coming this morning to collect the electric lead from the tent. Only it's in the trailer somewhere with all the other bits. So while it is open I may as well sort through it and take some photos of the bits I want to sell. I only sold the lead because somebody asked for one on FB.

We are now rooting for Chile to win the World Cup. Ds put £5 on them to win it last week at 35-1.

Hope everyone has a good day. It's going to be cloudy here, but at long as it's warm and dry, I'll be happy.

Oh, also we have an (bloody expensive) appointment with a private fertility specialist on Friday, so please wish us luck and sprinkle some very much needed (sticky) baby dust! xxx

Feisty, wishing you all the luck in the world, hopefully the time away will be just what you need!

Freespirit that's brilliant news, so glad it's all sorted.

OMO - looking forward to seeing the dog lead signs, hoping they are as popular as everything else you've been selling!

Morning everyone

Have people coming round tonight which means a day of cleaning and tidying, as the place has got a little rough around the edges with OH being off - lets hope my GUAG doesn't desert me!

Hope everyone has a good day

[QUOTE=Ameyturtle;

I had an endoscopy last week, I don't have cancer! but they don't know why I have reflux all the time

My dd was diagnosed with reflux disease about 2 yrs ago but 6 weeks ago things got substantially worse , she is vomiting morning /noon and night, we went to see a consultant last week who is sending her for another endoscopy but its not until July 14th ! if things don't ease by then she will have been sick for 2 1/2 months.
She is so unwell we have decided to cancel next wks centre parks trip . we have completed the insurance form but in all honesty im expecting them to deny the claim as even before the tests are completed the gp has more or less put that its down to a pre existing illness.:mad:
It hadn't even crossed my mind about cancer so now im really worried .

Okay now don't panic they were only looking for cancer in me because I have a history of stomach cancer, if her appointment isn't til the 14th of July don't panic it means they are not concerned. I know it's no fun for her but they put me through as an emergency appointment.I had 10 days between seeing the GP and having the endoscopy, is she taking medication?

Please don't worry, but tell her she wants to be sedated. It really is the way.

Been MIA the past few days but have been grabbing 5 minutes to read. 1/2 a day Wednesday from work and picked up the rest of the birthday/anniversary cards that we need this year. Managed to pick up a few xmas presents too and finish some birthday gifts off, never got to the range as I ran out of time and needed to be back home to do nails for my OH's brothers GF for there holiday.
Just dropped OH off for a stag do (we both seem to have a stag or hen do every week atm :eek:) he will be back at some silly hour I imagine so I am taking the time to have a good route and sort of our spare room and be very strict and rid anything that we don't need (rubbish/charity/sell)! Hoping then I should also be able to have another good route through all I have got for xmas and make sure it is all down on my list so I know fully where I am up to.

Enough babble from me, enjoy your Saturday everyone

Gettingtherequickly

Apparently yesterday is supposed to be the happiest day of the year, think Free will agree with that, as will my brother. He has been having issues with his business landlord for the last couple of years and was getting nowhere, he had the opportunity for someone to take over the lease,with a premium which would have cleared all of his business debts, which he had also personally guaranteed but the landlord wouldn't play ball. A few months ago, my brother had enough and left and set up elsewhere, but still with the debt looming. He refused to meet with the landlord as he knew it would be a one sided screaming session without a constructive resolution. Arranged to meet the landlord agent early in the week, (he was new to the company so not fully au fait with the history) and the agent was shocked to discover that the landlord had been marketing the property while still holding my brother to the lease - not allowed! Anyway, my brother said there were 2 options as the value involved would necessitate the High Court, one of which would have bankrupted my brother. Bankruptcy was not an option he would have wanted, as he was happy to pay debts, but they needed to be realistic and legal, not a figure made up by the landlord, but it would have to happen. Anyway, he got a letter from the agent yesterday confirming break of lease, all numbers written off at a cost of a lick of paint & LL legal costs :j Cue one very happy brother and relieved sister, I was the only one who knew the numbers involved and believe me, they caused me a few sleepless night.

His new business is in early days, but much better than where he was and just knowing that the money he has borrowed from me to invest in stock means that he has a better future, so let the good times roll, eventually, but now looking a little sooner rather than latee
