    Just started to read tail end of last weeks thread and see LG has posted "Jill you sound stressed" - well spotted!! I guess I was showing the signs last week! After I have caught up on tail end of last week, and today, I will post todays update. Actually it ill be tomorrow now as i am getting tired.

    raphael - your dog is gorgeous and look slike greta fun!! How is the yoga and meditation going ?

    ashbart - I know it snot funny but your guikt inducing nose bleed made me laugh. I will have to stuff some ketchup up my nose and blow it out at opportune moments to get DH to sit up and take notice. He'd probably just say "bless you" and go back tro his laptop though :rotfl:

    Kimberley - well done on getting a TD :j

    samphire - welcome :) for potty training accidents I used vanish carpet spray and a very wet cloth then a towel. And a lot of elbow grease. our carpets are wheaty oatmeal too (souds rather yummy). good luck, let us know how it goes....

    Pink Fairy - how annpoing. can you just blank her texts (too busy/forgot/phone on silent/was driving etc) and maybe she will give up the texting :confused:

    kaz I often wondered what would happen if my finger gets too close to the sewing machine needle - now I know :eek:

    AnW's Mum - I too didnt realise your DH was in the police:(. I always think people in tghe police are very brave, especially having been brought up i Belfast where they took a lot of stick from all side for just doing a community job :T

    shell - hope DD1 getting better now. Your Sat night sounds hellish. Hope it was better last night

    serena - I only went away once leaving him with the kids when I went to see my ill Dad last year. He just says it is easy and that he doesnt know what I complain about :mad: :mad: :mad: this of course helps massively. not. But of course this is no reason not to go away again :beer: I think the place was in chaos and he just blitzed it before I arrived back
    My Lent update - now done 5 days of snacking only on fruit and yoghurt :j Have eaten sensibly at mealtimes too, and havent had any crisps, sweets, biscuits, cakes etc not even a chip when I accompanied DD1 to McDonalds for a party tea and not even with the leltdown I had over the weekend

    g&b - you still on that dairy free wagon ? feeling any benefits ?

    tia - you have it the nail on the head . Half the time I havent a clue. I can tell if he's working as I know what his work stuff looks like but I dont undertsnad how he can actually be that productive with the telly on. I know I wouldnt be able to concentrate. I hate the laptop. Its like the third party in our marriage :mad:
    LG your Dad sounds like he is loads better :)

    rach - your pics look fab, you looked beautiful and radiant. I love the one on the beach aaaaahhhhhhhh

    tinselfairy - congratulations on the hopefully soon to be new addition to your family, such exciting news :) What age is she ? I will continute to read and maybe find out in a bit .....

    Am I the only one without hangcuffs? What happened to the old fashioned dressing gown belt ...to tie up the curtains when they fall down before you all start!

    Pink fairy...that's a really difficult one. You can't go rushing off every time there is a crisis. Can he phone her up and talk to her? Do you know anyone who lives nearby her so they could check though I know it's hard as she has problems with her family. Could you suggest that you arrange to meet her at the weekend so she knows that someone is there for her and it might take the immediate crisis out of the situation? Sorry I can't be of more help xx
