    I just wish mum would (sorry if this upsets anyone) stop going on about dying.

    Bro not been in touch and wished her Happy Birthday or sent her card present. So I get mum saying she may not be here for next birthday.

    Every weekend she says more than once stupid things like I may find her dead when I go next time or I would sit watching football instead of watching her die :mad: . I have told her not to be so daft but she doesn't listen.

    I have asked DS if she talks like this to him and he says no and feels sorry for me having to put up with her.

    I only have mum DS and my bro. So it gets to me mum keep going on at me. Its not my fault bro not been in touch but she always makes things sound as tho its my fault.

    I am not that close to bro but we do speak and I see him on the odd occasion he visits mum when I am there. But he only stays 10 mins .

    That probably makes no sense at all :rotfl:but you did tell me to post :D

    Half time :footie: going making a :coffee:

    It is really hard caring for a relative, and you care very very much.

    Any particular reason you need to be speaking to a judge? Or is it not that sort of judge?

    No not yet :oWas it you who was in this situation not long ago :think: I remember one of the elite was.
    DH has taken DS to a docs appointment so I still haven't had a chance to pop out to the shops yet.
    Am off out in a bit though, just keep praying I'll get a sign and not have to waste any money :rotfl:

    Panic over :D I have never been so happy to fail a test :rotfl:
    I'm obviously like network rail and just running behind :D
    I've said recently I'd never say no to another one but this really isn't the right time :)

    :D Yes it was me :o

    And like you, I was mightily relieved :T

    I did have a little pang of 'oh wouldn't it be nice' for a nanosecond but I then smacked myself aside the chops to bring myself back to reality :rotfl:

    I done and gone an M&S shop innit! Finally found the time and plucked up the courage. Scanned both coupons. Pressed pay. Total still £26.97. Oh god. Then pressed 'no bag' and finally the total dropped. Phew!

    The ready meals are mine and the burgers are for my sis (she does love a burger). Got pork steaks and washing up liquid for the parentals. Thanks TM. And everyone else for your advice. Can't wait to do it all again soon :D

    Weird wasn't the word for it when I googled the address! I spoke to her niece and apparently the family moved out just before Xmas and as my wife was on the transfer list they offered it to her! Council had no idea that the family and we were looking at exchanging! Just pure coincidence.

    When it comes to meeting her, I wouldn't know if to hold her or smack her!! (i've never hit a woman in my life), but you get that feeling!! Still too early!

    Car booty was ok on Sunday, thankyou for the bits you gave me, they really helped. Starting to stock up bit by bit. :)

    How can she get a house because she is on the transfer list, without offering her house in return???

    can any one help totally unrelated but how many option choices do you usually get at school at 14 and are there any law related choices at any schools that any one knows of ds3 is being argumentative thanks

    Really depends how many they count as compulsory. If science is compulsory it wont be in the choices.

    There was talk of encouraging everyone capable to take maths, english, IT, science and a foreign language.

    Oh G*d my hubby s the same! a right charmer. He says I could be dead in 10 years, I ve had a good life so if I go tomorrow I don t mind, and that he s not afraid of dying etc etc. He s 65 ... A lot older than me lol . Probably because he aches so much makes him feel like an old man

    OMG, I woke up this morning and first thing I said was 'we are half way through our lives together' ... god knows what I had been dreaming of! Oh burst out laughing, and told me I was cheerful!!

    But he tells me he is going to die well before me... So I tell him it will be my chance to party!!
