    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Gee things are slipping round here it is Monday night and still no new thread for the week where is our Mistress?

    Glad to be back guys, I've really missed you all. I have enjoyed my visit to PTS and have signed up to be a mystery shopper and made it to face book so not all bad.

    In times of stress though I cannot clean, just keep putting the kettle on and hitting refresh.

    SORRY STILL NO PARAGRAPHS ETC Wohoooo it's working!!! Sadly still on dial up, hopefully only for another week, think I have finally sorted the problem when I eventually got to speak to someone who understood what I was saying!!! Been unpacking and sorting mainly, getting there :) kids back to school but loads of appointments etc hopefully all be back to normal soon. Matthew, well that has been another story, Friday his little tiny heart failed :( , he was put on a machine to oxygenate his blood then had his major surgery this morning after he was stable, as emergency rather than scheduled. There was discussion about sending him to London for surgery as his surgeon was out of the country but he came back on Sunday. The next 48 hours are critical for him, his sats were very low before they got him stable and his parents have been warned to possibly expect some brain damage or internal damage. I'm just pleased they kept him in and this did not happen at home. Good news is things are looking good and he's fighting so fingers crossed everyone for the next 2 days!!! We've had candles of hope lit here since Friday and will stay lit until he's out of the danger zone. Anyway, I've spent the last few days before his op in tears a lot and not slept much, been unpacking to keep myself busy which has helped clear 20 ish boxes and bags. I'm going to TRY to get some sleep now as I am shattered. Will hopefully catch up with you all tomorrow. Lots of hugs and squishes to all of you :) SOMEONE WAKE PIGPEN UP AND TELL HER TO GET ONLINE!!!!!For the record I am over a size 18 and a 34JJ :rotfl: I like Mika!!!
    I have been a much smaller size bottom half pre kids, was a size 8 at one point, but still had 34H top half, only ever had one dress which fitted really well and it was VERY clingy, I threw it away when we moved :( would have loved to get back into it but decided to get rid and stop dreaming.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
