  • They say things happen in 3's that must be you done !!!
    Look at it this way it can only get better
    My sister in law was only 17 when she had her daughter (now 18mths) and she couldn't be happier as long as she has family support she will go a long way ( the way her family looked at it it would have been much worse if she had been ill), as for the freezer sxxx happens not much I can say about that and the card details theft hopefully your bank will pay up and sort it out promptly
    Open a bottle of wine and watch some rubbish telly always makes me feel better, hope all gets better
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    J, I am so pleased that finally everything is falling into place for you. It just took time and those nasty little bumps in the road will soon be a long and distant memory. I am honesty sooooooooo pleased that you have the house and that the twins will get to go to the school too. Lots of hugs from this end.

    Don't forget to check quidco on your insurance for the house - some good offers at the moment so try and make the most of what you can. :)

    Hi BMS,

    Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time, but just think of all the giggles and beautiful smiles the new baby will bring into your life (especially when he/she is around 9 months old, what a lovely age :heartpuls ).

    And congratulations MLSL on your wedding! Where did you go for your honeymoon?

    Nearly sorted at the house but urgently need someone to put 2 curtain poles up for me! I-T not able to do but is doing the bookcases and airing cupboard shelves whilst I am still sorting and hanging curtains.

    Told twins about the new school places and they were really pleased. They have their mock SATS this week so are somewhat subdued!

    Good luck to F&A for their SATS.
    I'm so glad you don't have another Appeal to be loingirding for, mot.
    I'd put up the poles for you(one of my can-do's and have two re-chargeable drills, too - part of my DIY other self), but can't do so this week.
    Suspect there'll be a bus along shortly with a suitable passenger descending at a stop near you...........:D
    Enjoy your day mot, with a good start at WW. Fear not the last fortnight's Erratica

    Thanks A,

    I must say that I am looking forward to a hour or two of normality this morning by going to WW's. then back to the house to sort A's bookcase and make his room look liveable. F did hers all by herself and it has been ready since Sunday!!! I think once the shelves in the AC are done and I can put bedding and towels in there and the poles are up and I can hang those curtains, then I think it will be ready to live in. I can sort out the rest day by day.

    You're so right too A about not having to fight for the school with an appeal. I was stunned when I opened my email to find that the twins had been offered places as I just could not believe that something we wanted so much would just go our way without a fight!!!

    Oh forgot to tell you!! My mobile rang last night at 8.45pm and it was the ex LL (from the eviction time) so I passed the phone to I-T who said hello, hello and got no answer. So I listened and realised that ex LL was out somewhere and that he must have mistakenly pressed a button on his phone and it dialled my number. Anyway, I listened and could hear nowt but cheering and men talking, so I put my phone down beside me and left it whilst I watched 'The Apprentice' and ........... forgot about it! Found my phone this morning and the call had lasted for 4.5hrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
