Mud No I didn't mean to thank the spam, have to click a few times on my thanks button as it's being a bit iffy, so I just did it without thinking!!

Hey so sorry to hear you've had probs with IUD's n periods, I got the coil as I hit 35, still smoking and a tad overweight!!! Didn't go to docs for more pills as I knew I wouldn't get them and would have to explain my appalling way of life:o so I was off the pill for a few months and wondering what to do when I suddenly realized I wanted to drag DH to bed every day/every minute of the day, realized I had a sex drive again:eek: :eek: so there was no way I was getting a coil impregnated with the same hormones as the pill when I'd just found this new me:j poor DH wanted to move out:o

galantvr4

I'm off to bed guys, night night

lil_me

:rotfl: I don't seem to have the 'no drive' issue with the injections but the GP and nurse are trying to talk me into alternatives like the coil or implant, thinking implant now, more so because of the little horror stories I read about them.

Just been loosing my temper with ebay, 7 emails regarding a seller who's yet again reregistered who rips off parents of disabled children which annoys me greatly. Trying to get enough backing for watchdog to take him on, they seemed keen last time I contacted them.

Anyway, no I am not in bed yet, DP had switched the TD off so my sheets aren't dry and my spare was ripped last week grrrr! He left for work in a very grumpy mood as he couldn't find things he haddn't put away. He smashed DSs cup in his paddy so I am not impressed. This all of course put me in a bad mood so I have stayed up to wait for the sheets (not much choice) and because I hate going to bed angry!

Right, hopefully sheets will be done in next 10 minutes and won't have shrank them putting them on hotter than usual, so will say good night everyone now x

OMG 10 pages of posts :eek:

kaz - so sorry to hear about your gran , sending and your family you lots of (((hugs)))

vanilla - god that accident sounds horrific. Makes your blood run cold doesn't it.
Got a lot done today including baking apple muffins with the kids. DS wolfed down 2 for pudding tonight so they will go in his lunchbox. Also made apricot and apple flapjacks which I had for pudding but as I am still off snacking for Lent I had to freeze the rest in case I ate them LOL

hope those of you who had movement last night are ok

:rotfl: Dusty , are you enquiring after my toilet habits :rotfl: . Hope you felt a bit less down by the end of today ((hugs))

mojt - you are storming through that list :T

pollybear - glad to raise a chuckle well blue screen of death, thats the sort of thing my DH rambles on about all the time. I asked about OS as bsod was very comon with Windows 98 not so easy to do with XP! Well done!:rotfl:

shell - good luck for your interview ... and bush trimming really made me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


Oh and we got a note in the school bag today about ... you'll never guess ... ok I'll tell you .... a Book Fair ..... which I now know to avoid like the plague thanks to you lot !!

The earthquake last night is buggung me, I would have been brushing my teeth or something , I looked at the clock as I turned the light out it was bang on 1 so I was up for the earthquke. I have this vague recollection of hearing a bang or thud or something but I am very disapponted I didnt notice the house shaking.

This will make you laugh - when we were on honeymoon in Egypt there was a little earthquake late one night. When someone told my DH about it he looked at me and said "I thought it was just you getting into bed" CHARMING:rotfl:

Urgh bed far too late again. Supposed to be going into work for a pension presentation (YAWN), will not be able to keep eyes open.

- swept a bit of the garage out, all cobwebs and leaves yuck

Morning ladies.

Ahh, I see Pigpen's chosen bathrooms today - tee hee, I pre-empted that yesterday and put the shower curtain and bath mats in the wash so there's less for me to do this evening

:cool: ORF :cool:

Thank you for all of those who have offered to help. Unfortunately, I can't have too many because, as my son pointed out, my ISP might get a little narked if I'm using up all their bandwidth. So usernames and passwords were done on a first come first served basis and have already been given out. If you are one of those with a login, and you find you don't want it after all, let me know by PM and I can give it to someone else.

Buster is now in position and watching. If you see anything suspicious you can click the little camera icon above the image - this will make a little pop up pop up which you can then right click and save as a file.

Thank you all again

:cool: ORF OFF:cool:

Morning all

I got a bit over excited just for a moment, I had a look at the webcam and saw a RED CAR, thought I had a moment of glory there. Then realised it is one of those 'smart' cars :rotfl:

AnW'sMum

It looks like it's raining there today soappie which is a good sign as I would think it will make them more likely to use the car
