    I'm going to put my big girl pants on and say to those that are finding it hard to keep up with the thread, PLEASE DON'T feel you have to reply to every post or do everything that is on the list. This is our little bit of peace and understanding from others, so for those that are struggling with the thread then do what I do, and just skim it as and when..and jump in when you can or want to/feel you can.
    But the main thing is this is supposed to be a fun thread and people aren't supposed to get stressed over it. And it will quieten down once the New Year's cleaning frenzy is over.. :D

    Also if you don't do any of the set flying etc then you will not be booted off the thread, aiming a fluffly mule at LW. So no more talk of leaving :D We love everyone on here. Although I do have to insist that your posts include something flying wise, even if that's made the bed and decluttered a cup of tea.. then pop it on here with your chatty post.

    Welcome back WW

    I think this is the nicest post I have seen on any forum or fb page - Natty I love your big girl knickers :T:T:T and your fluffy mules x

    Awful, awful evening - been in floods of tears and had a proper meltdown. Taken Diazepam as that was the only option I had cos J had to go out and I needed to be safe. Going to bed now; stinking headache, eyes tiny slits in puffy face etc and I just feel drained. Hey ho, tomorrow's a new day.

    Mumof2 - I hope you are ok, I am here if you would like to pm me, big hugs, much love xxx

    How do you get husband to help? I always end up doing it myself, mind you I do get to throw loads of crap that he would keep :rotfl::rotfl:

    you start doing it yourself... and fling things at him.. do you want this? *fling* ... what about this? *fling* ... man whines... well if you were to come over here and help I wouldn't have to do this... sulky man comes over..

    Mine got an ultimatum... sort it or I will.. which means 90% is getting binned... and today, not next year or next decade.. He sorted his gibble..

    Still planning window shopping.. OH at the gym while I sort Twinkle and myself and I need to pop to Iceland for non-meaty food.. let's hope there is very little garlic/onion in the quorn products.. ooh.. another Q... does anyone use artificial sweetener.. just for me, noone else.. which is the least offensive? My nanna used to use some and it was disgusting was like fabric conditioner in your tea. if it reduces the amount of actual sugar I am pouring down my throat it might be a start.. I cannot drink tea without sugar, it just won't happen.

    thanks for all the support last night/this morning - don't want to go into details but found myself in a very difficult situation. Calmer for now but I'm way out of my comfort zone so will just see what happens but I appreciate you all a lot x

    Rode then fell asleep upstairs. That's it for today. Tomorrow I will try harder!

    Glad you are calmer this morning, try and take the emotion out of the situation, think about what you could change and accept the things you can't and most importantly put yourself first x hope things improve quickly for you x

    Hi All Flyers

    I have been meaning to rejoin you all since the beginning of the year, but the dreaded lurgy has knocked me sideways so it has taken all my effort to do anything never mind flying.:)
