    Was reading the latest posts on your diary and thinking will ask NoaH how her star jumps are going, only to finish by reading this.

    Well done my dear, super proud of you x

  • Hello fabulous lady.

    Sorry to hear you got upset but it was probably the best thing. You are a bit fragile at the moment and juggling a lot of balls (whilst doing star jumps I see.. what a pro :j) so it is only to be expected. Eventually there will come some kind of peace and you will declare it boring. :) Hugs in the meantime.

    I'm not a true middle child. Although mum always coddled me as she was terrified of middle child syndrome occurring & she had 3 of us at home. I have 2 older brothers, (one adopted, one half) an older sister (also half) and a younger sister. We all fall in and there are no mentions of how much of the same blood we have. Just brother and sisters. But my sister is technically the middle child and very much aggrieved that she was never treated as such :rotfl:

    I can be very insensible and I would still buy a unicorn if I found one ;) speaking of which my lovely mum bought me an amazing framed original drawing by an artist and paper cutter I LOVE. She has had this 10 by 10 inch picture professionally framed. It is a unicorns head with long flowing rainbow hair in true sketch style, not cartoony... and it says "I did consider growing up, and then I thought.... Ohhhh Unicorn!" :)

    Lots of luff xxx

    Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j!!!!!!!!


    Have just this second finished accounts for VAt return, submitted and paid ...all within the first few minutes of the very last d:Tay :T....am getting better, its not the very last few minutes of the very last day;)


    Didn't do my star jumps today - would have looked odd sneaking out to the smoking shelter or behind the bike sheds between marking papers :D but will make up tomorrow.
    Cheated big time and had dominos take out pizza for dinner tonight - 2 x large for £20 , with enough left over for brekkie. So much for the star jumps over past few days :o




    Rugby taxi first thing tomorrow plus volunteer work then going to see my parents sat night/sun. My mum has been spending 2-3 hours volunteering in community work, every day this week, she's hoping and praying her good deeds will count for something and that dad will get some vision back.


    Sweet dreams dear friends. :heartpulsxxxxxxxxx

    Good morning said NOAh, feeling if not looking about 2 stone lighter - the burden of tax and Vat having weighed heavier than the earth for Atlas. Slept a solid 4.5 hours last night and feeling goooood.
    Rugby cancelled so have a spare 30 mins so guess what I end up doing!:D
    Dont' feel bad though as have already washed sports kit last night (to be ready for this am) and 2nd wash load already in. Am abandoning filing and clearing chaos today so can go see my parents today and stay overnight. Out for my volunteering this am shortly.


    I love unicorns and Pegasi (Pegasuses) and rainbows......and all things fantasy and fairytale and romantic, as does my DD who lives in a dream world.
    Hobby craft do a beautiful book of craft paper along fairy tale theme - guess what I bought DD for birthday last year :) except she thinks its so beautiful she doesn't want to spoil it by using it!!!!!! Love the sound of your picture Lilty ....you sound just like my DD who wont sell her hundreds of pounds of Sylvaniasn and beanies .....


    Have a lovely weekend everyone --back tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi NOA
    So sorry to hear that you have had a rough time of it of late. Can you get your parents urgently assessed for some additional care, because of your dad's eyesight. Would the CAB be able to offer an opinion, or Age Concern?

    Whilst the idea of them moving in with you is admirable, it isn't something that can be done right now either. So perhaps they can get some personal care hours. Also if your mum gets carers allowance (or whatever it is called these days), will she be due to go onto the higher rate even if temporarily. I know that money isn't the be all and end all, but if they can get a bit more, it might pay for the care....

    Well done on getting in your tax and VAT. What a weight off your mind. And don't forget what you said about getting next years ready now. Even if you just make sure everything is filed correctly so that it is easy to hand next this December (not I didn't say January:rotfl:), that would still be a good start?

    Really hope you can ease your parents fears.
