Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread

My daughter just called to tell me some friends of hers and her husband lost their unborn baby today. They have a 3 year old and were expecting another daughter in March. The baby had died in the womb and she had to give birth this morning.
So I ask if the Elite can say a little prayer for that family tonight

Not good Wendy. It never rains, it always pours
Things will improve though.

He is a lovely person but perhaps a bit naive about living on a low wage so doesn't understand

Bless, that is nice to here x

I have to say my friend who posted the comment is lovely, he would go out of his way for anyone, but clearly he just not thought it through at all x

Big hugs Wendy (((X))

Had a bit of an accident prone night, went to the woodshed to load the wood burner and dropped a log onto my already black nailed big toe, I then pulled a log and caused a log slide which I stepped away from, fell over a log and fell onto the opposite log pile left said woodshed and avoided the cement mixer outside but missed the spade sticking out and walked into the handle.

Now have a bruised big toe, bum and massive black bruised lump on my leg. Worse than doing an obstacle course race

Just brought back happy memories. We had a huge log pile, every time you pulled one out you'd wonder if it would cause an avalanche. Inevitably it would catch you off guard and have to scramble out the way :D Such fun playing chicken with a log pile :rotfl:

Very sad for the family, and horrendous for the lady to have to go through labour and delivery...... life can be so cruel. x

Evening gang
things not too good here.
Had as nasty shock yesterday as got a call to say that
hubbs had a nasty accident He was dragged along by a car spinning around in reverse which also wrote off three cars.
He is lucky to be alive and has a few broken bones and masses of bruises to show off.
Joking apart he was ambulanced to A&E and his clothes cut off him, scanned all over etc...we were there for about eight hours and he is in a lot of pain.
I still went to my work meeting but it turned out to be a trap and there was a note taker there . I said that I thought it was an informal chat and they just carried on with their agenda.
They kept asking the same questions and going outside to ring personnel etc I was there for nearly two hours and felt it was a witch hunt.
I feel life is being extermely tought and dont know how much more I can take.
I would just like to add my heartflet thanks to Di for her PM today, she is an:A:A:Axxx

Wendy, glad OH is ok although sore.
I am really sorry for all your ongoing work hassle. Have you taken legal advice or contacted CAB, or the likes of ACAS, they have a helpline?
Hopefully you will get a positive outcome soon.
