Evening all - will post more shortly.

If you were a 16month old dummy fanatic who won't sleep without one; exactly WHERE in a 2 bed house would you hide any of the SEVEN you had last week?!! I am nonplussed and currently have said 16month old rampaging about in a very tired fashion....

:rotfl: :rotfl: Been there, done that!! On hands and knees crawling and looking everywhere for any of the stupid dummies. I think we even found one behind the chest of drawers. Hope you found one, or that you have a 24 hour Tesco or Asda. I feel your frustration:D

Happy Birthday Jill! Or in Dutch: Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag

Good morning all

Another rough night, in spite of some tablets (OTC) my colleague gave me which apparently knocked her OH out for 24 hours! I knew they wouldn't work as my stress levels are so high I can't relax with anything short of a general anaesthetic!:rotfl:Oh well, I'll have to wear myself out flying today so I sleep tonight.

DH has just gone off to Lancaster (overnight) for his canoe instructors exam. I hope it goes well as he's really keen about it.

Soappie - hope the roof rack's secure and have a great time

Jill - I did remember so have a wonderful day, and I'm glad things are going OK now you're back at work. Just remember you aren't Superwoman and can't do it all.

SSL - superstrong house selling vibes coming your way - have you got more viewings lined up? It will happen, otherwise you wouldn't have got the other house. There's a set pattern and all will turn out right for you. (I have decreed it! :rotfl:)

Have a good day everyone. I'm off to sort the next wash load, but I don't think it will be out today, it's very overcast and grey and we can't even see the hills this morning.

:wave: Morning everyone.

A dull very wet morning here.

This morning I need to do some shopping. I was going into Newcastle later but Im in two minds whether to. I load in WM and thats nearly finished.

Dusty GS seems to be ok. He came out of the house for the first time on Thursday. Then yesterday back in his bedroom. The Arnica is working and has helped a lot. I havent been going on at him. He did say he would like a job but there isnt much around. I suggested he went to the hospital where I work and see if he could be a porter. Just wondered whether he was using this time to keep off the drink and dry himself out.

Nicki Hugs to you and DD and Im sure you will get some great advice from people on here.

JillD and DaisyDoll Happy Birthday to you both!:bdaycake: :bdaycake: _party_ _party_
