- er how many pages of posts today ????????
so here goes:

BIGGEST hugs and good vibes ever ever ever for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you tomorrow

pigpen - Happy Birthday Boogaloo
re grandmothers well my MIL lives 3 miles away and we hardly ever see her. DH is her only child and she is on her own, she has fallen out with and doesnt speak to her 2 sisters. My kids are her only grandchildren. She is hopeless. Asked fora party tea with kids for her birthday back in Oct, even with LO being 5 weeks old I did cake and jelly etc and she cancelled on the lunchime of that day, she bailed out of a family thing on Boxing Day ( her family - cousins not sisters LOL - not mine but I still went), and she bailed on Mothers Day at the weekend. The kids ADORE her but she just cancels all the time. Probably shes depressed or something but just shuts us all out though we'd like to involve her and include her and make her fee loved. I try to be sympathetic but the birthday party tea was one cancellation too many for me I'm afraid.
oops didn't mean to go off on one!!!!!

michelle - hope DS better soon
poohbear - hope headache better
lil_me - hjave PM'ed you
nsn - another freecycle fan here. Last week got rid of old filofax stuff and some toys and clothes that wouldn't have fetched anything oon ebay. Have acquired a brillianr spare freezer for the garage for all that batch cooking, and a filing cabinet.
pigpen - fab idea re the yellow atire in support of AnW and their Mum tomorrow. I've nothing yellow but will put one of DD's bigger hairbobbles on as a wristband. Her preschool tops are yellow, I have never much liked them but now every time she wears one which is 4 days a week I shall think of you AnW's Mum and it will be a reminder to be grateful for everything I have

Take deep breaths and feel free to rant, rave, cry whatever, later when you get back. I'm sure we'll all be available if you want to pm any of us. Big hugs hun - you'll get through it.

Morning - sorry for saying I was in and then not posting - found an addictive comp on the comps threads!

Just want to say Good Luck Anw and huge hugs from me....got some lovely daffs in pots from dds on mums day so will look at those today and be thinking of you.

Michelle - hope you are feeling better and it's not the bug - charlie seems to be doing exactly the same things as my LO with the talking etc - it's so cute! And we have also managed to only give him water not juice so far - people think I am mean but it is so much better than cordial!

Have a good day all x

AnW'sMum

Thanks Julie

Had a reasonable nights sleep all things considered and felt quite calm when I woke but suddenly now the nerves have started. Both kids are up and eating brekkie, W is quite excited at the prospect of going to school with Amy a lil girl from his class.

Right deep breaths, calming vibes please especially at 10am. Once it starts then I am certain I will be calm again.

See you all later

Hi everyone...big hugs to all..
I feel like I've missed something....
I'm managing to juggle the house and having a social life which feels lovely, though I do feel that I'm always on the go. Thats probably a good thing, as I tend to eat and drink when I'm 'relaxing'.
I don't have a study..just a laptop in the lounge, so I will also give the conservatory a bit of a going over..


catch yous later...
