    Ok, so I know I'm still a 'newbie' to this group, and I hope noone will think I've overstepped any boundaries; but I've contacted LW's branch of Mensa to see if they can pass a message along to her. I'm hoping they'll recognise her from the details I've provided.

    That's a great idea, well done. We're all concerned.

    Hi all

    Thinking of LW too.

    Have been doodling about on the internet looking at tablecloths for 40 minutes when I should be getting ready for work!!! Need to dash.

    My little office is starting to acquire a lot of things that dont belong in there (parcel shelf off DSs car, couple of things to go to cs, some books to donate to village hall book stand) so I will try and tackle that today. Because its messy I have not been cleaning in there!

    But first - paid stuff, lots to do today.

    Morning All

    Please can I just selfishly ask for some strength and well wishes from you all. Just when I thought we had cleared a huge hurdle in life last week, something else has come along that is even worse. It is going to tear my immediate and extended family apart, and potentially result in a court case.

    I can't stop crying, I'm having to have some of the most painful conversations I have ever had with people who are dear to me, DH is working away AGAIN and I'm trying to be a good mummy.

    All I want to do is run away and take the kids and DH with me.

    So sorry to offload, no-one in RL to talk to x

    Hugs YTB. You'll get support on this thread. Most of us have been through life changing situations that have left us feeling desperate, but this group is fantastic and you will come through the other side of this. xx

    Flying wise for me, not even keeping on top of the dailies this week. Paid stuff is manic - this is what you get when you take on a project you're not really capable of and have to read a book on it cover to cover first!
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I have LW's details.. I need to pop to shop so will put a card in the post so she knows we are thinking of her if that helps. I cannot share her details as I promised not to.

    ATB.. if you need ears, ours are always open xx

    Hello all,

    Thanks for the lists, I'm in!
    Monday and Tuesday passed in a blur as usual. House is a tip.

    I've walked the dog.

    I'd best get something else done. Man is here servicing boiler, lunch needs eating, then I'm off to flap madly.

    Apart from the housework, the garden is a complete nightmare and I've got a list of paperwork as long as my arm to be dealt with.

    ATB hugs, life throws some carp up, just when things seem to be going great.

    Piggers great idea re card, thanks x

    Ok was just about to type "good morning" :o

    Both good ideas ducky and pigpen xx

    Hugs ATB you know I'm only round the corner if you need a shoulder xx

    Hmm. I did bathrooms yesterday, including mopping, although I need to put stuff back, I also stripped and remade my bed. Been to buy new flooring from bee n queue and mum used her card so :money: money saved. Stepdad not much work on apparently so may even get fitted this week, I also have underlay and beading good to go.

    Feeling a bit lacklustre - so might close my eyes for half an hour :rotfl: although we all know how that could end!

    Oh, I finally found a tray to keep my toaster on, perfect size and just £1.50 :T fed up of crumbs in the cupboard!
