    Morning all

    SSL - good luck for today - +ve vibes winging your way
    Miecherox - Welcome!

    Bonsi - a big, big hug for you and your family. Can you tell us a little more about the reasons? Can hubby take the matter higher up the 'food chain'? Could he ask for a transfer to get away from those wanting his discharge?

    Right, just about to jump in the bath and then head for work. Have a good day ladies.

    Just a quick one

    Johanna - Hugs hun! I am sure it is all innocent. I know I have had bloke mates at work that were just that. I loved em to bits but no way there was anything going on. I can completely understand why you feel like you do and :mad: at him for not. Maybe if your other "flo" had stopped this is aunt flo:confused: , if your mix feeding it may just have kicked in quicker. I know when I was full on feeding I didnt have a visit for 8 months, but as soon as I went to mixed feeding she was banging on the door:rolleyes: .

    Bonsi - Hope things settle down for you. It sounds like a horrid situation but maybe if they know DH has taken legal advice they may back down.

    SSL - Passing on the flylady success vibes that got sent my way yesterday. and to PF too.

    Boddy - tried to pm it too you but says you have pm's blocked:confused: .

    Got lots I want to get done today but guess I should get DD1 ready for school.

    My test well I think the hypnosis definately worked. My driving instructor was impressed from the mo I got in the car as it was a much smoother ride, I gave the feeling of being calm etc. Best £25 I spent I think, plus the techniques he did I can use in the future for interviews etc:D . Did have to smile though as on Tuesday lesson I said I hope I had to do the parrallel park not bay park hoping the gods were listening and would switch them round - and they did! I did stall 2 times but that was on the random bits where they ask you to pull over 5 times and then drive on. Just a bit quick on the clutch. So 2 faults for that. When I did my turn in the road there was 3 L cars doing them at the same time. Anyway now I have to go out ALONE:eek: :eek: .

    Best dash, not made pack up yet.

    Shell - I'd say if you can, go on your own completely, no children or hubby. Then you can get used to the car without feeling pressured. I am a bit scared still of driving new cars, I drove DPs for the first time yesterday.

    bonsi - sounds like a very stressful time, fingers crossed you sort something soon.

    Hugs for everyone else who would like one today, popping in early as just been doing some transfering money etc, got to take DS2 to school now then take the car to get the electrics sorted on the tow bar, something not right and they aren't working properly.

    Have a nice day all xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Welcome to miecherox

    :( for bonsibabe and solwaykid (and anybody else having a hard time)

    Only one load of washing today, I've hung it out but they've forecast showers.

    Not started flying yet although I've peeled spuds for dinner and done some washing up. Tidied living room. Will start when everyone's gone out.

    Took the dog out early, about 6.30, and it was lovely out there then, warm and bright.

    Back later.

    Today so far I have taken car to get priced up for a new exhaust, hung out 1 load of washing, put another load in, tried to think of a recipe to loads lots of turkey up in one go with the realisation that I think I've gone off it.

    Thats it really, tons to do, maybe catch you all later.
