    I understand what you are saying and totally agree, I just feel like I get used as the whipping post sometimes however hard I try.
    I'm going to try and find her some outrageous trainers she will like in a non old lady style if I take the inner out of them the brace should fit ok.
    If it was Friday or weekend I'd be slinking off to find sherry or wine right now, instead I will knit


    These are what she needs!

    Thanks; I do check that quite often as it is frequently suggested for various difficulties my computer gets........I'm not blaming the computer specifically, but many of the IT forums suggest that as a matter of course. :( would be nice if it was as easy as that.

    Eighth Anniversary
    Hi everyone sending those who need it strength to get through the things you need to.
    Today ive done the usual washing, dishes ect. I did a little bit of rearranging in the bedroom but got sidetracked by a little box full of I love you because ... notes I sent DH a few years back, tbf I should have divorced him a couple of years ago but reading those showed me those things haven't changed which proberly is part of the reason why we are still together, he'll always be my best friend I suppose no matter what. Anyways I also changed bedding, took Ds2 to an appointment & did some paperwork.
  • Mumof2- sorry things didn't work out for you and j. But sounds like you are doing the right thing for you and your children.
    CY- glad your first treatment went well. Good that you will have support at home.
