I hope you are writing a book about this. Although finding a publisher who doesn't think it's unbelievable may be the challenge.Outstanding mortgage: £23,181 (December 19)

it's funny.. he has all his cronies on FB saying I'm crazy when I haven't done a thing.. he has no evidence or proof it was me.. it's hilarious.. I'm a middle-aged grandma.. as if I could even be bothered!! Actually... I've met my mother! .. there is nothing I am not capable of!! hahaha.. apart from getting to his, smashing his car and running away.. I think it was 2012 last time I ran and that was 30 yards and I nearly died!
I am on daily medication for pain.. I think the medical evidence will support my story.. though I am considering speaking to a solicitor about the donestic abuse and now defamation of character and libel too... haha! I think I might have a claim..
And.. if I was going to smash something of his.. a car would be the very last thing on my list!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Back home after an excellent conference, and DH had hoovered all through the house today
I need to collect Rosie from kennels tomorrow morning and take her to scentwork class, then I might allow DH to treat me to lunch at the forest cafe - however, I have told him that he will not be walking with me and Rosie, as after the last time we went, he complained for days that he was in dreadful pain from his hips - his own silly fault, as he had opted not to do the shorter walk that I had suggested :mad:0 -
Bonne vacances Fayolle
Not working today so should get some FLYing done. Do have some urgent wshing to do as OH decided some of the clothes on his chair need to be washed for him to take away with him next week. Also need to sort out painting clothes as off to other house for the weekend and we want to touh up Although I will be insisting that we still get out for a long walk on the beach. Need to sort out something to take for dinner tonight when we get there and it might be late as schools break up here today so more folks will be travelling.
Hugs to all and happy flying0 -
Morning all.
Piggers - quite jealous that you have managed to perfect armchair running. It sounds like the ideal exercise to me.
I had a lousy night's sleep, but am up and ready for Friday. HHI done, and wm loaded for after work. Something recognisable has been pulled from the freezer for dinner. I have to pop into Mr T on way to work to get supplies for work, and DD has asked for a lift to school as it's on my way. I'd better get on, as long as she shifts herself this side of Christmas.
Have a lovely Friday, everybody.0 -
Hi all,
V cross with self as I missed a call from the hospital yesterday, presumably to advise of my scan date, but when I tried to call back the automated message advised me that I will get a letter confirming the date. Really hope it comes tomorrow. The lump is rock hard and very painful.
Full day at work today, shattered now. Easy tea tonight of chicken and chips.
Have lovely evenings all xMFW

That sounds a proper Fun Run Pigpen
Dropped Mr N at gym and went to get puncture in car tyre fixed.
Went to Tesc0 which is opposite garage.
Dropped a bag of stuff at CS.
Checked a couple of places for chairs (office chair for me; armchair for lounge) but nothing found. Not critical anyway.
Went into BQ for polyfilla, paint charts and to look at banisters - advised to go to Enfield or Chelmsford for the latter as they are bigger.
Went into carpet shop and picked 3 possiblities, took photos on tablet to take to decorating shop.
Went to decorating shop to collect reserved wallpaper. It is such a lovely shop, 3 ladies who are all interested in design and know what to suggest to colour-blind philistines like me; nothing like your usual shop assistants. One spent ages with us matching a plain wallpaper with the patterned one we'd chosen (we want the 'long drop' of the stairs plain), then suggesting paint colours and checking my carpet photos. When we got to the till, another assistant joined in as they had actually left some plain samples with our reserved ones after I'd phoned, so the 4 of us spent another few minutes comparing them.
Washed up and put a load through DW.
Now about to finish off a report while Mr N is visiting MIL. At the moment she keeps asking when she will go back to her place, as she doesn't like living in a 'home'. Despite telling her that what she lives in is a flat, the same as her previous flat but without the steep walk up from the village and the no-lift staircase, she isn't convinced; saying it is a 'home' really. That doesn't bode well; she really does live in a self-contained flat which just happens to have a foyer and carpeted corridor between the flats - one day she may well have to go into a residential 'home'. Mr N spent a lot of time on the phone recently, enquiring about getting help with cleaning and cooking for her; services were very helpful. Unfortunately when he mentioned it to MIL she declined the cooking as she wants to do it herself. When he pointed out that she doesn't actually do it, she just said it is because he always took over and did it for her. Huh, if we didn't cook, half the time she would live on biscuits and bananas. He hoovered the flat, and she admitted that she had never actually used the hoover before (she's been there over a year!).....was bemused as he emptied it twice and accused 'the people who lived here before me' of being dirty......no, actually Mr N pointed out, you had new carpet fitted when you moved in........
Sorry rant over, it's upsetting.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -

nasty lumps are rarely painful, usually irregular shapes.. that is why they go undiscovered for so long. Most lumps are infected glands or an abcess.. both of which are excruciatingly painful in many instances and also smooth and an even shape. Cysts are also a common lump yet these are again a regular smooth shape and not painful.
Pain is usually a very good sign when dealing with such things. We have had lots of personal experience sadly.. but everyone is good so far here xxxLB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
