    evening all

    happy birthday beemuzed. I always make sure i treat myself on my birthday as everyone else seems to forget or get me things which i'll never use - I like the sound of that dressing gown - I will put it on my list for April when I will be thrity-twelve

    Diiner was a disaster - supposed to be sort of beanyball things that would fit into pittas like flafels - result - fried bean sludge which was poured in - dd11 loved it so there's no accounting for taste - couldn't eat mine at all.

    wmf - hope dd is ok and not too inconveneienced - I saw and heard that plane come down from window at w*rk - amazing that it wasn't worse. I don't live under the flight path anymore so can't tell if airport is up and running yet.

    struggling with money this month and have asked mr rockefeller (dd's dad) to pay half of her residential trip - he is thinking about it - next sentence was to wonder what we're doing about his birthday which was last week when we were away ..... er nothing ... seeing as how you're a big boy now, you have a gf, and I'm skint

    have a good evening
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008

    BeeM = very very happy birthday.

    dlb - good luck with the smoking Darling. I did it just over 5 years ago when DGS1 born. I was a 30 a day girl. I have had about 3 in the last 5 years which is not bad and told totally allowable (always when a glass of wine in hand)! I did patches previously and did it for a year. Last time did it with chewing gum and can confess I am still on the nicotine gum - better than fags though!

    Hope your friend OK - yesterday obviously scary!

    SSue

    I am so sorry you have these issues. You are in the the Services and I do think the treatment awful of our Servicepeople across the board. You should not have to go through this! There has been a lot in the media recently about the state of Services housing - shocking.

    Sorry I can't be more constructive but just wanted to let you know I am supporting you.

    Best wishes
