I'm all huffed.. I'm selling all my crap on ebeast.. collecting all the quids in my paypal so when our car goes back next December we can hopefully get the grand voyager.. new to us .. MY stuff, MY paypal, MY bothersome work.. I don't drive so OH will be driving it.. it's the one he likes.. yet I, apparently, an not good enough to have a pretty ring.. DD1 was looking at engagement rings and some are really nice.. I'm selling mine and my wedding rings.. into the car pot.. it's about £1400 value just the engagement ring so if I got half that I'd be a happy bunny.. plus the few quid for the wedding rings.. but I can't have a ring because they are too expensive!! ... well.. FU Mr. I may just buy my own!!

I am now in an @r$e.. I might not put the money from MY jewellery and My stuff into HIM a car I might put it into driving lessons for myself and buy a much cheaper car and not let him have a turn!

Pigpen - I would do just that. Have something nice for yourself as you deserve it.
Why shouldn't you have some lessons and a car ??? Make the time to do something for you as you spend so much time doing things for others that they can't complain and maybe can help.

Pigpen, at the risk of alienating you, I have to say: 'If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.' The two choices that have already been suggested (buying your own ring - although for feminists it's symbolic bondage, so I'm ringless but do it if it floats your boat) and, much, much more importantly - learn to drive. It'll mean you never have to wait around for someone to drive you again, thus freeing up loads of time. End of lecture.

I love my bed, so the fact that I woke up at 5.40 this morning and was just bored listening to the radio is new behaviour for me. Up at 6.40, several windows vinegared, RoD floor partially cleared, sewing machine put away *sob* for 72 hours and other assorted carp rehomed. *virtuous* (Not a feeling that I get very often so I'm making the most of it.)

LOL.. Honey you won't alienate me, I'm a blue alien already.. or my neighbours look at me like I am.. .. I'll be better soon.. I'm just feeling unwell and needy I think.. but I know what I would say to someone in my position.. I'm currently wearing a 3 band wedding ring I bought myself, I just want a sparkly one because I'm a girl lol I got engaged on my 16th birthday and wore a ring for 20 years.. I couldn't adjust to not wearing one so bought this one.

Cracker at vet at 11:50.. I'm hoping I feel well enough to take some drugs in a minute because I feel horrific at the moment

mrs-moneypenny

i felt usre i just did a post, must have clicked onto something else before submitting.

again from memory (doh just realised what i did i editted yesterday post instead of making a new one)
morning all
pigpen if you want a ring its your money so treat yourslef, call it an early christmas pres from yourself. you do enough for other people to more than justify it (not that you should even ever have to justify treating yourself now and then)
hope noel is as well and comfortable as can be.
gentle pat for mrs dog and any other poorly pets
hugs good wishes positve vibes sticks and spoons where needed
sewed the baby hats up ive made so far for the hospital last night and started knitting something that i hope will turn out to be a cushion cover. - still using up wool from the stash
got a busy night tonight, drs appt late afternoon, id made it for something else about a week ago but friday after id finished rebagging conifer my leg felt a bit itchy at night DH noticed a bloodblister like mark on my shin. since then leg as felt a bit tingly and last night started swelling and ankle really hurt. it doesnt feel so bad today but still feels sort of 'fuzzy' going to ask doc to take a look at that. i think it may be pay back from some little critter i unhomed and it took a bite to teach me a lesson.
after drs its govs meeting, martial arts club, 2 of kids have cinema, and if time explorers after that for one of them (these all run almost along side each other so its just a case of organising who needs to be where and with whom and remembering to organise getting them all back.) need to text friend who we journey share explorers with and tell her just in case to sort her Ds transport out for tonight both ways

One of the dusting mitts is feeling a bit frayed, but they work! Lots of dusting done, and filing. Things are improving, slowly.

Back from the hosp. Traffic was rubbish so we only just made it!

One of our old neonatal nurses was working there which was lovely and she put us in with consultant not registrar which was good. He was really good and asked lots of questions and was very attentive and didny fob us off. She's got to go for an ultrasound to check her bladder n tubes are ok and some blood tests too. We talked about her behavioural stuff too and if nowt comes frkm medical tests she will be sent to community paediatric although he doesnt think it fits with autism or anything so that's good.

Dropped off incy blankets to nnu too and had a natter.

Right. Time to start bathroom.

Xxx

CP glad your medical appointment with DD went well

Briefly read Finance docs for tonight and printed off what I need, I'll annotate later with a cuppa.

Had a couple of brief power cuts here.

Mopping and hoovering to finish before DS3 gets home I think.
