    Pen-Pin ((((hugs)))) to you and your DH I know he helps a lot.
    I don't know who sent the PM, but I am sure it is not one of the regulars, so ignore them.
    It's a shame you are not up to coming and catching some sunshine out here, I know it helps me feel better even though I am fighting fit.
    Please ensure you report the PM if it is offensive to you not just the language.
    Keep posting how you really are we dont need lies on here.
    Take care

    Good Evening

    :grouphug:to anyone who would like one.

    I seem to have caught the thread cold, woke up with a runny nose and sore adenoids. Trying hard not to pass it to DD.

    Today I've baked some Anzac and digestive biscuits and done a load of washing.

    DH working until 10pm tonight so it was shop bought pizza for tea.

    Plans for the weekend include introducing my DD to solids, what's happened to the last 6 months they've just disappeared :eek:

    I was going to make some Twinks as well but ran out of energy so it's on my to do list for tomorrow.

    Making my own biscuits is saving me a fortune as DH is a biscuit monster.

    Hugs to PP
    Please ignore the troll, they obviously have nothing better to do than upset people, don't let them win, carry on posting & let us all know how you are feeling.

    PENPIN - please don't stop posting; we love to read your posts. I only wish we could all do something 'hands-on' to help you. Every time I've come on here this last few days, I've mentioned my cold; it's what we do - if we're ill, upset, angry, fed up or worried, it helps such a lot to get it off our chests, so don't stop. I'M interested and I know everyone else here is. You're amongst friends here and you'd tell your friends how you felt, wouldn't you? It cannot be one of the regulars on here; just someone with a very sad and boring life who just wants to make trouble.

  • Good evening everyone! Been out with DH today. We ordered some curtains for our spare room (they'll be delivered next Friday, please don't let me forget that I have to be in to collect them :eek: :D :T ). We bought DS a new sleeping bag. He's been complaining that his current one is losing its insulation. We also * invested* in some new sleep mats for camping. They're very flash, and very comfortable, but weren't cheap :rolleyes:

    DD has gone out to a party with her friends. DH and I are walking out to collect them at 11pm (please don't let me forget that, either :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ). My mind has turned into a sieve, recently - how OS is that ;)

    Pen Pin - please try to ignore the PMs (or, even better, report them).

    Pink, please try and keep up, Haribo is in Skegness :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    When DH is back, we're having HM pizza and garlic dough balls. Just been trying them out - they're certainly garlicky enough - no chance of vampires here :p DD and her friends declined the garlic - any ideas why :confused:

    See you all tomorrow, Penny. x
