            Evening all,
 To all those with poorly children, OH's, parents, friends etc big hugs, and to all those in need of something stronger - I'm with you.
 What a glorious day we've had here in west Norfolk. The sun was shining when I woke up at 6 and has shone all day and its been very hot. DD had a friend here for sleepover last night so after a quick nip into town we were back and they were in the pool. (another one of OH's treats for his DD on Tuesday when I wanted to shop for the 6 things on my list - £90 the bill !! and 7 hours to fill it, good job we not on a water meter). I couldnt possibly leave 2 8 year olds outside on their own while I cleaned kids rooms could I so I had to sit outside all day with them until I had my hair appt. Lovely day but no flying which is pretty much how the rest of the week has been, BUT I did muck out the junk yard which has now become a courtyard garden with a 12' pool, garden table, chairs and parasol. but no flying which is pretty much how the rest of the week has been, BUT I did muck out the junk yard which has now become a courtyard garden with a 12' pool, garden table, chairs and parasol.
 Hopefully next week will be a lot better flying as I want to get it sorted before we go on holiday a week tomorrow :j Suppose I'll have to start sorting clothes soon and try and find some suitcases
 See you all soon

            Sounds like a day well spent Kazmeister.
 Hope you get to the bottom of the nose bleeds Lil_me, noses are good at bleeding once they start and it's not usually anything sinister. Not nice for him to deal with all the same. Ta for the half hour banishment, I'm going to do another self imposed one just now if anyone wants to join me. I've got my adrenalin back!One debt v 100 days Part 14 £400/£400

            Sorry to hear about your son's nose bleed lil_me. My son had his first ever nosebleed last weekend and it really freaked him out. He'd never seen so much blood and I think he went into a bit of shock....saying that, he got it from an elbow in the face (by accident) when he was playing so at least I knew why it happened. I've said it once and i'll say it again.....KIDS! xxJanuary budget

 Right, I've since done some more fling boogies, and I'm up to about 20 now, so I'm going to see if I can do the other 7 in the next half hour before BB eviction is on. Here goes ......- Clean bathroom Managed to clean the tiles and the bath, and OH did floor before he stuck on the new skirting boards - will do the sink before bed, & loo when I've bought some more loo cleaner 2moro.
- Dust bedroom 2moro.
- Use re-borrowed and newly bagged Kirby around the whole flat before cat reappears (went missing when they came round with the lawnmowers as the stupid thing wouldn't come in when I called him, and he was still outside) Cat turned up in the end - Phew! Hoover 2moro as too loud for this time of night as baby upstairs.
- [strike]Dust computer and desk [/strike] Have just told OH to clear up his stuff as this was cleared when I left, and he'd filled it up with junk by the time I got home again :mad:
- 27 fling boogie Done about 7 fling boogies so a few more to do 2moro.
- Meal plan for next week 2night cos market is on 2moro so may need to shop there before the gym.
- Food shop 2moro

            Thanks for the messages, unfortunately an accident when moving house when he was little started the nose bleeds, he's had them since being a baby. He gets them a lot through the night and wakes up screaming when he's covered in blood, then I scream at the laundry, he has red bed sheets for a reason! Slightest bump and it's away aswell of course. The worst bit at the minute is huge blood clots coming out, they are huge! All but 2 of the bleeds had these today. I've rang NHS direct as it's getting OTT but they said should be ok and wait until Monday to see GP but to call back if concerned more. I was reading that atmospheric dryness can cause them to be more frequent, which is maybe why they have increased now, will try steam tomorrow but unsure how he'll react. Oh and the big downside is DS2 hates the sight of blood and if he sees it he tends to throw up (has done since he was about 2) so if DS1 has them I have to try to keep him away or double the mess to deal with.
 LJD1 hope your sons ok, must be scary the first time, my sons just screams in panic every time, doesn't help that he's a screamer with his Autism anyway but this just makes him worse, he had one in the car when I was coming back from Birtley, I had to stop the car, just couldn't cope with it and driving. Good news with the nails BTW 
 Done not much else since my little 'burst' considering letting dogs out onto the field for a bit then bed time I think. DP wants to be up at 9am tomorrow (after getting to bed about 4am) as he wants to get to sleep earlier Saturday (off work as goes away 5am Sunday) this means he'll be in an even worse mood than usual so I'll need to be on top form to cope!!
 sexymouse, well done, good night One day I might be more organised........... One day I might be more organised...........

            Evening everyone.
 Just thought i would log in at the in-laws and catch up with you all. Can't say i have been doing any housework apart from the evening washing up and making up charlie's bottles, and it has been lovely.
 traceyg pleased to see that you are back - ignore the idiots who think they have a right to be rude. Look at how many people said it was nice to see you back and you will see that your contribution is every bit as good as anyone elses. Also looking forward to trying out those recipes at home. Hope your dad is reeling better
 lil-me you can get noses cauterised to stop regular bleeds like that. Sounds nasty, particularly with his other problems. You must have been truly wicked in a past life to have so much to deal with, and yet you still make time for us lot - we appreciate you!! Oh - although i am so jealous at your new oven
 big hugs all round to the rest of you. I have been sat here for about an hour grinning madly at what you are getting up to, particularly pigpen and tiamaid.
 was hoping anyone missing has not also been scared off by nasty PM's. happy at home posted once since the spanish visit with the link to the article in the newspaper about the trip, but i can't remember anything since, must be busy.
 Well, tomorrow will be a bit busy for me. We are taking Charlie swimming tomorrow morning, then having DH's aunty and uncle visit, then off up to central london at about 5ish for a spot of dinner, and then to see lord of the rings,
 so i had best go now and sort the swimming stuff out, and have a quick shower and shave as we are not in europe and i might look a little out of place. Lovely to see a couple of you noticed me gone, and i will be back at some point monday evening, although i may pop in on sunday as i will be here alone, and once i've packed i may be bored., or may just need an early night after sunday lunch with friends.
 Oh - how exhausting to have a social life - can't be doing with that every week thankfully 
 Michelle, x0

            Hi all!
 Sorry i havent had time to read all the posts so ((((((hugs)))))) to all those that need them and CONGRATS to all those that have something to celebrate!
 As for me i am shattered!!!!:eek:
 I have done no flying today at all, but been running around like a headless chicken trying to get sorted to go on holiday tomorrow (skeggy).
 i realised last night that cos i have been on a diet, (started last november and gone from a size 22/24 to a 14/16), no summer clothes fit me!):eek:
 SO off i trotted to peackocks and a number of charity chops and got me sorted with a new (to me) wardrobe!:D
 The had to do all the bitty little jobs, take the car through the car wash, tyres, water oil, etc eyebrows waxed!:D
 Then pack everything and in the process try and keep the boys occupied and keep the house half decent, oh what FUN!!
 But i made it and im still alive, although somewhat tired, need a red wine (thinks about bottle packed to go with me to skeggy), but i will settle for a STRONG coffee!:rotfl:
 We are off at about 8ish in the morning, so off to bed soon, take care all of you, will pop back on before i go to bed to say goodbye,
 bye for now
 Feisty!Northern bird on the loose!
