hi all
hugs to all that need them.
It has been manic here through no fault of my own and a bit weired to boot, but wont go into details. df at home today, but will be working all weekend.
Cleaned lounge and kitchen last night so haven't had much to do today, apart from take ds to docs and nip into town- managed to pick up a peach tree in wollies for a tenner, which Is really cheap:T . Although have spent far to much money this week. , but cant spend any more as its all gone.
Dlb- great job on being smoke free keep up the good work.

Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been on the last few days! How is everyone? ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))if you need them.
Had my Great-Aunt Mary down for a few days, (Daddy's sister). She wanted to see how they both were, and help out a bit. Mum seems to be getting stronger, there's definately more colour in her cheeks.:T

Also, Guess what? I took Martin's advice, and wrote to Northern Rock about my Mortgage exit fee.................got a letter today, they owe me £75!:T :T Thank you:money: !!!!!!

Wouldn't have even realised, if I hadn't heard it here, may the MSE site go from strengh to strength. Loads of great people on here too, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE:rotfl:
OH is over tonight, can't wait to see him, he's been so supportive recently.

Well, enjoy tonight, Pork chops, and a bottle of wine for us, James is going to see his girlfriend.....OOOOOOH!

Afternoon everyone. Massive (((((((((hugs)))))))))) to all in need, including the poorly ones, ones with poorly family and those who were caused anxiety by yesterdays' incident at Heathrow. That pilot did an amazing job; couldn't believe, from looking at the pictures of the plane, that no lives were lost.

Well today I did my food shop which I thought would not come to much because I didn't need any meat (the freezer's full of it) but it still came to £59 so I was a bit disappointed. But - I did get the large jar of coffee because DH takes a huge flask of it to work with him, some fish that was on offer, which I couldn't stop myself buying even though I didn't need it; oh, and they also had some boxed sets of very pretty wine-glass charms for £2 each so I bought two of them to put away for Christmas pressies. If I take off those things, it would bring the supermarket bill down to £50ish which is what I intended to spend - not so disappointed now! I also bought the wool I need for my next project and resisted the urge to even look at the other wool there.

I have got two loaves of bread in the oven; the soft roll dough recipe I found on here ages ago makes lovely large loaves - the sort that the baker calls 'bloomers'. DH loves it so I make loads now. I really must cost it one day.

It rained horribly all the time I was out and stopped as soon as I pulled back on to the drive. It's still very windy and there is definitely more rain up there. I'm getting a bit tired of it now and my DH hates it. He hates the dark nights more than anything because he loves to potter around the house and garden. Still, we are so lucky compared to other areas that get flooded - I tell him not to grumble about it.

Oh well, I suppose I had better get on with some work.

Will call back later - hope you are all having a lovely Friday and are looking forward to the weekend.

See ya.

Hello Everyone,

Hugs to those in need

Pen Pin hope you are a bit more mobile that earlier.
DLB congrats on the stopping smoking both my dad and step mum smoke and luckily it is a vice I haven't taken up - well there was the 6 months when I was 14 but that was so long ago!
Mrs_Mix hope you feel better soon.
Fizzel81 Enjoy your day out, you certainly deserve it. I live in Andover maybe we should meet for a coffee?
Scuzz - Hope your IBS calms down soon. Well done on the weight loss.
JoeyEmma - Sit down and put your feet up, you deserve it after all that lovely advice you gave me yesterday.
Hilstep Glad you mum is on the mend.

Will go now, sorry for not mentioning everyone. Am a lot more positive today, just waiting for a phone call to arrange the survey to replace the boiler.

Hugs to those in need.

A big to everyone for being so complimentary about me!

I'm really touched (that's me blushing!)

The lady in question isn't a friend but a patient and she really smiled when I gave her the bright pink bag filled with a few bits

It was simple to do and I hope it might make a difference but I was so surprised that the hospital didn't have a charity fund or someone who would help her out it was very sad and her story is heartbreaking

Anyway, thanks again everyone, furrypig the nurse xxx

Afternoon all,
Tattycath hope you feel better soon.
Beemuzed Happy Birthday for yesterday.
DLB well done on the giving up smoking. Best thing i ever did 7 years ago now.
Feeling pleased with my cleaning progress today. Manage to do all the cleaning mentioned this morning and looking forward to putting my feet up after a nice hot bath tonight. Weather still p!! it down here. It has hardly let up all day and now blowing even harder. Roll on spring! Take care all.

None of the hospitals have charity funds or spare clothes or anything useful these days! I work in mental health and we have really poorly people who are sectioned on the streets and admitted straight to hospital with the clothes on their back. We have access to the cheapest toothpaste and brushes and some awful shampoo and that is it. We used to be able to lend people £5 but of course that has now stopped.

Suesy Sue. Glad you are feeling more positive today. Just caught up on your answer to me on yesterdays thread.
Good luck and hope they sort it out sooner rather than later.
