    I quite like this one.

    And this one

    Both of them are lush.

    But I am leaning towards the first on as more pretty colours in it.

    Yours

    Morning my Lovelies,

    Went out for a walk this morning and it was rather a power one this morning LOL!!!

    According to my pedometer done just over 10,000 steps and the day is yet young LOL!!! I feel like a wet dish cloth all sweaty and horrible.

    have a busy week. Out tomorrow still not seen in the flesh my step grand daughter due to various things so fingers crossed tomorrow. Out for lunch wednesday and off to see the phews on thursday afternoon. And I think that I will take some flowers for my brothers partner as is having a tough time with one thing and another.

    Don't think I should have sat down now as not sure I can get back up again. Last night did manage to get four bags of dirt ready to go to the tip. That is just a a teeny tiny part of the iceberg LOL!!!!

    Applied for a job for 30hrs a week. Close to home so could walk it in about 15 mins.

    What ever dresses you all wear you will be gorgeous in them.

    Yours

    Calley

    it's all one big mess., care wise... I had a care agency for 4.5 years, they folded suddenly and gave me 2 weeks notice.. my social worker found me the care agency from hell, it's a long story, but started with an "assessment" from the care manager who was being so derogatory about women, objectifying them, laughing at my incontinence issues,crudely comparing them to him after a night down the pub.. it was beyond awful and humiliating, I won't repeat what he said word for word because he was too offensive...and thank god i had a witness , my friend. He is now being investigated but it's our word against his.. the carers refused to change my sheets when i had messed the bed, all the carers were severely mentally ill,and piled their traumas on me it's not their fault.. this agency has a deal with the jobcentre to force these poor ill people onto a 5 day care course at the jobcentre and into working for this company.. I couldn't take all their problems on, one was in psychosis.I have no mental health help myself.Also they all told me they had heard the misogynistic man's version of events, which would be a pack of lies, but told me they had been told not to hear my side of things

    Also the man was my point of contact and every time i had to ring he put the phone down on me.. .. anyway, I banned the agency from coming and now my social worker isn't sorting more care out for me, making out I'm being too picky. which means they could try to keep me in hospital longer and I'l most likely abscond, with no care at home.. this is all adding to my pre surgery stress :(
    Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE :)

    Oh (((((((((((((faerielight)))))))))))))
    What a mess.


    If you had a witness, how is it your word against his?

    Ok, so I had to get out of bed as I had a man yelling at my bathroom window!
    Roofers are here to fix a leak in the roof which apparently was due to next doors roof. Noone told me they were coming so lucky I was in as Little Sod is not great with visitors he has not been introduced to.

    I'm worried now though as I need to pee every five minutes at the moment and they are up and down a ladder outside my bathroom window.

    Faerie, would social services agree to you finding your own care company that you are happy with and then them sort out the billing etc?

    Katy, assuming you don't have curtains or blinds at the widow, could you hook up a large towel at the window, in some makeshift way? Or a sheet?

    If it is being 'overheard' you're also worried about, take a loud radio in with you each time and/or run the taps while 'going.

    Got nothing at the window as there is no way to attach anything. Its a very old cottage with very deep windows which are flush with the ceiling so no room for a rail or blind.

    I am just timing it at the moment for each time they need to go to the van to get more bits! If they do get the full moon then it is their own fault for not warning me they were coming!

    In other news, the fish we got from the fair is still live and kicking. He is growing nicely too so I feel slightly better about it.

    In one for my local towns there is suppose to be gold fish in the pond due the fair being on the green next to it. And putting them in before they leave. Not sure if its true or just urban myth.

    Mind you there is a lot of folk lore in these parts and that pond is very famous. I don't want to say to much more as it will give away my location.

    Arrgh. Getting so fed up that every single dress I like is not available in my size. I'm retreating to the blanket fort with a stash of Pringles (this is the 8th attempt at Pringles as autocarrot wants to make it Princes), Kettle chips, Sweet chilli sensations and Pepsi max

    Katy, you can attach a sheet to a window temporarily with lots of sellotape. Might give you some privacy.

    What flavor pringles? Sour cream, salt and vinegar and BBQ ones are ok.

    Pepsi max funny you should mention that just bought some at Asda. I know I should not drink it.

    Mind you I did buy a cool box and other bits and pieces. And I bought a waterbutt not for me but husband. And in our local asda we have the conveyor belt tills. The guy who was just finishing it said to me you know how you need to that. I said yes. The scanner. I offered for him to scan it and he said now in the end he said yes. And I let him do it LOL!! I did try, I said fancy carrying it out to my car and he said no. I said ok thought it was worth a try.

    OMG whats wrong with me LOL!!! I am never that chatty to strangers :j
