Good morning everyone:hello: ,
I'm so glad the site is back up thought i was gonna loss the plot
Today i have car to clean again
Get all things for party tomorrow night
Start to build bonfire
Plus get house in better order
Ebay loads as i got the computer back
All kiddies feeling abit poorly today but they've went to school happy enough.
Brilliant news about hubby he's getting out tomorrow and staying out until thursday evening and then getting discharged on friday . Can't wait to have him home, he's so much better and the kids went down to see him yesterday and the hugs where crazy they really miss him.

My sister got a job last thursday, started on friday in a resturant and the manager asked her how she got on and she said she enjoyed it and it was alot busier than she thought it would be but really enjoyed it but had a bit of a sore back now (this was at the end of the day) the manager (she is when the real manager is away) said you should have put down on your appilaction form that you where lazy and complaining . I can't believe someone would come out with that espically when my sister has never made a cup of coffee before and can now make alsortes.

Ok less of my talking and better go and get the car done.

((((Lil_me)))) Thinking of you, how did the op go??
Its amazing what their little bodies will put up with, at on point my daughters saturation levels were sub 50:eek: :eek:
She could have died, but she pulled through with no lasting effects and is a happy healthy(ish) 3 and a half year old. The bodies ability to adapt never ceases to amaze me.

Morning all! Didn't post much last week as real life got in the way and when I came to post on Friday the little b*ggers had done their work. Thanks to Martin and chum's for getting the site back up!

Glad to read most of you are well
Vanilla - good news on your Dh
Newmrslockwood - hugs for you! What a nightmare
Lil me - Just said a little prayer/postive thoughts for Matthew and his family and will keep them in my thoughts, hugs

Well I've not been flying by the list this last week but everywhere is okay. Must sort out spare room as got all the christmas gifts out to show DH and couldn't be bothered to put them back so can hardly get in the room. Top floor spare room is coming on in being decorated, does anyone know where I can get a cheap wooden blanket box from? Will be painting it so doesn't matter what it looks like.

Was in town for 9 this morning so all my little jobs done and had a nice walk around the flea market thing. Just need to visit my gran (shes in a nursing home now) and dad and get some diesel.

See you all later xx

Way hey - the site's backup and running!!! Tremendous - that must have taken some doing.

I'm back on board today - have been out of action since Sat night - I went to a halloween party (and no I wasn't drinking as I was in charge of steering the broom) and had a very dodgy tuna jacket potato which I saw in reverse for a further 15 hours not to mention a very dire rear! (Sorry if anyone is eating).:sad:

Now I've had chronic heartburn that Rennies and bicarb won't touch since Sunday, my kidneys feel like they've been kicked and I feel crap. Don't really want to go to the quacks as I avoid them if I can. Any suggestions?

Will try and crack on with the lists anyway - it'll take my mind off pukey feeling.

Hope all are well and that you have survived the dreaded school hols, they seemed to pass by very quickly here I think it was due to the nice weather and being able to get them outside a lot.
