Pyxis

That's ok! Maybe you'll be three days overdue!





I'm going to bed now. Not a good day.

Mum sent me a message saying she is getting impatient, hubby had to peel me off the ceiling!!

If it was me after about 6 months I would going get it out of me as I would be bored of the whole thing by then :rotfl:I am not very patientl

I never wanted children and the whole thing of having one man and his dog looking up me and pooping while giving birth put me right off. Hence not having a smear until recently.

Yours

Hope you feel better tomorrow Pyxis.

Bearded one just beat me twice at a board game, I am tempted to sulk! Has anyone got any recommendations for good games to play? We tend to spend our evenings playing games rather than watching TV, if I can prize him off his computer games!

Depends what games you like really, my best friend and his gf love various card deck games, like pokemon, magic the gathering and so on. There's a lot of variability in being able to build your own decks and you can get hours if fun out of it. I tried learning MTG but it was too confusing for me so i stick to pokemon

Today I have been making appointments and doing a (late) lunch.

I have put the first coat of clear varnish on a pair of mirrors (doors from an abandoned medicine cabinet with the holes filled, sanded, undercoated and painted), tried again to strip that chair (nope, still not having it), had my hair cut, made a doctor's appointment, gave away some furniture to BHF, made an appointment for a smear test, arranged a chiropody appointment and I'm going to have an over 40s fasting blood test tomorrow.

I'm also binge watching the second series of Elementary starring Jonny Lee Millar and Lucy Liu. Loving it.

Anyone seen this - The Battle from Awkward Yeti.

I'm not good with deck building games, I get too easily bored. Hubby loves them though. He does get very obsessed with each new game we get though and ends up buying all sorts of boosters and expansions.
I prefer board games as it limits what he can buy!

I didn't realise that yesterday was World Suicide Prevention Day. The following is an open letter written by parents to their son, who committed suicide while away from home at university. It is sad, but not entirely without hope. It will be a PENGUIN for anyone feeling raw today:

It also points to a website called Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (sobs), which I will link in separately for anyone not ready to read the other article:

Welly - yesterday all I did was build about 2 ft of a small 1ft wall. It was a tiny piece of work, but one of those akward !!!!!!s. You'd think laying 15 or so bits of brick would take 10 minutes, but I knew this was going to take hours as it is the end of a wall, off a right angle and on a slope. So it took ages to cut all the pieces into the right shapes and then I was extremely fussy about the mortaring as it is a very visible bit and so needed to look good - so I basically spent half the day laying flat on my tummy icing a cake of bricks and mortar into perfection lol! It really helps to have all the right tools and I have just been out to look at it this morning and it was well worth the effort as it looks great. Slightly wishing I had gone and gone some more snowcrete though instead of doing it with what I had, but I am sure over time the two mortars will wear in together.
It is such a nice day today and I so want to go out and get started on the edging of the path..........but I am going to be good and stay inside and do housework and get ready for weekend away at in laws.... I know I need to be as well rested as possible to have the best chance of surviving the weekend (FIL and BIL are big drinkers, which encourages my DH to drink more than usual, then they all get loud and argumentative - really not a huge amount of fun for sober people to sit and watch). Hubbys super cool auntie is over from overseas tho and she really is awesome, super funny and mischievous, even at 80 odd - so I am very much looking forward to seeing her and I have a new book to go off and read when the drunk idiots get too much for me, so hopefully it will be a good weekend.

What wonderful, caring people that young man's parents are that they managed to turn their own tragedy into helping other people. The world needs more like them.

Welly 2 player board games? Rune Wars is like MtG but with a board and no need to keep buying cards (I know too many Magic players!).

We usually game with 3 or 4 so I'm trying to think which games work well as 2 player. Gravwell is fun, cthulu and zombie dice are good little and very quick games. Munchkin in its various forms. Netrunner is meant to be very very good but I can't concentrate enough for that atm to try it.

I will post any more I can remember

Hugs to all, I'm still cramping and moody - so I'll be mostly hovering till it passes
