greys mum

Well done Elaine. Not long finished work and catching up with all the messages. Big hugs to all that need them.

Mine keep jumping over the mat. I moved it, 4 paws squashed just inside the door. Then jump over the mat!!

Been eating chocolate and now I feel

Rushed home from work to find the boiler man had cancelled. Leaves me more time for the refuge!! I made the first page, will miracles never cease?

I'm going to bed now. Early start in the morning.

Just back from taking the dogs for their walk. Knackered dogs and lots of mud in the car. (With all the rest!!)

Morning my hurty back still is hurty But reading news here puts it into the "what have you got to bo worried about league" for all those that need them.

Pingo you have just scared this shite out of my son. He's still shaking.

RMF. Housework is bad for your health. Cleaning the bathroom yesterday and have put my back out. I feel like with all the painkillers that I have taken. for everyone that needs a hug.

I have finished the ironing! I hate ironing. Daughter has gone roller skating, so it is me and the dogs

I remember her and agree with Snow. She's such a lovely dog. Looking forward to the pictures when you get her home.

Wendy for 1500 post Felix was known as cat food Son is now washing my car. (What does he want?!!) Glad that you are ok KP Hope that that consultant is the dishy one!!

At the restaurant that I used to work, we used to have a couple come every other Friday about 8ish with their very young children. Children used to eat first (small snack)while adults socialise with a bottle of wine. Children taken through to the loos (nice ones). Changed into pj's, teeth cleaned, taken back to table popped into their sleeping bags to sleep UNDER the tables. Then the adults used to eat and have fun. Not what I would do myself for my family, but it worked for them and the children were never any bother. More importantly they enjoyed it. However I have been on both sides of the fence. 3 of my children were fine. The 4th suffers from ADHD and even though he is 11 now, I pick where I eat out (very rare occasions) carefully because he would find it hard to cope. He DOESN'T want to always eat at McDonald's. Only had one nightmare, when I paid up and left half way through a meal. Some of the nicest and politest people that I have served in a restaurant, were those that had physical and mental disabilities.

and to all that need them. RMF. It has taken me a loooooooooooong time to read all the RMF written while I was working.

This place is getting over run with leopards, cos i'm one too! But I don't like BM.

Well done Sarah. Tracey. RMF. My daughter has the dreaded lurgy and on the sofa. I have a headache,a sore throat and a dripping snoz! Can't afford time off work. They now make you wait an extra day for a back to work interview. Including those who only have time off when they are dead!!

My work is all wrong cos they changed the rules and no-one told us. But that very nice assessor has taken it home with her to put it all right

I have finished all the case notes I had to write up. Now off to catch up with the threads.

Know exactly what you mean. My ex can charm the birds out of the trees until he gets what he wants. Then there is the outside/ inside split to the personality. People who didn't live next door didn't believe what he was like, because he was so nice to them. I lost a lot of people I thought were friends. He was never physically abusive, but he was/is a mind game expert.

If only I had read that BEFORE marrying my ex. Would have saved myself and my children a lot of heartache Life is sooooo much better now.

exactly, but Maz has put it better than could.

Still giggling

Daughter got a receipt to say payment gone through. Do you need to know her name, so you know that it was me that paid. ? Cos I still haven't gone blue.
