Good morning all
Hope all the patients are a bit better this morning 
Hazeleyes, at least only the morning to get through. The GP sounds fantastic and a diary is a GREAT idea. I had toi smile to when C said he was taking precautions. He reminds me so much of my eldest. Glad your neighbour is having him.....and she needs to understand that that's part of the deal for having all her errands done! 
Sparkling how is your cough?
I had lunch in town with a friend yesterday then went to counselling. Luckily son went out with a couple of friends so I didn't have to cook at all last night. I have decided to have a massive declutter. Started with CDs yesterday, what a load of rubbish I have! Clothes next. I have dragooned son into doing his over halfterm as well then said he can have a chest of drawers from my room (am presuming I have emptied by then, haha!) then he has to keep his room spotless for four weeks and after that he can have the TV that is in the lounge (it's quite small and now I have started wearing glasses it's TOO small, lol) So hopefully that is a plan.
What is everyone up to today?
Sounds like a good plan, and I'm sure your youngest will jump at the chance to do his bedroom for four weeks, hehe.
School was awful, in the sense that I am feeling so rough. Shouldn't have gone, and was told by other TA to go home, but I soldiered on. Cannot see me going tomorrow though. Neighbour has made me cross. C has said that she, not the man, told him he is fine to go to school tomorrow, he doesn't and didn't have a temperature at the Doctors yesterday. How dare she? I actually feel like ringing her, and saying something, but I'm only stopping myself because of the age etc, still shouldn't be a reason I know. What is it with people? Aarrgghhh.
They were talking today about the drop in money. It'll be 3%, and the staff are understandably up in arms about it. Oh well!
Hi hazeleyes, eugh sorry to hear that you are feeling rotten, very admirable soldiering on, but tomorrow does sound like it should be a stay at home day.
How is C today, do you think he is better? I agree - i would want to say something to the neighbours, but if they are elderly, they believe we should carry on come rain or shine, they were alive during the war don't you know!!
You feel like you want to say something, so therefore you probably should. Perhaps you could just ring to thank them again for having him and how appreciative you are to have their support when the doctor told you to keep him at home, but you needed to go to work and also how lucky you feel to have a relationship where you can help each other out.
It sounds as though the doctors went very well, the fact that C was able to talk about it, hopefully means that he won't be harbouring any secret thoughts or worries and keeping things out in the open, he can move forward with this.
Have you got him a special book/diary, so he can record any probs/issues he has faced during the day?
sparklinglime - get well soon Lots of hot lime and ginger, blankets and waiting on I hope!
Louise - brilliant idea for a clearout, as I said in the first post of this thread February comes from Februa which means cleansing or purification and reflects the rituals that used to take place before Spring, so you are obviously at one with nature!!
If your son is getting the TV from the front room, does that mean you are getting a NEW BIGGER ONE??? 
Last night I went to Tai Chi, god I love it!! Monday night dancing, Thurs night dancing, so tonight is at home being cosy, can't wait!
PJs at 7 o clock, Anna?
Hazeleyes I bet you were fuming with the neighbour......grrrrr. Hope you get a restful evening.
Yes I do hope that I will get a TV I can see better. My friend was talking about an Internet compatible telly, I have no idea about any of that so will have to find out what's what.
I have no idea about that either Louise, let us know, when you know!
Am in my pjs now, cosying up on settee. Have rung the school, and told them not in tomorrow. Didn't bother mentioning C, he won't be there though. Even if he's okay, I cannot get him there, so....... I feel a bit bad letting them down, especially when I'll be off again in a few weeks for the operation, but it can't be helped can it?
Anna, that's a good idea about getting C a diary or something. Will sort something out for next week, or once I'm out and about anyway. You did make me laugh about 'they were alive during the war don't you know'. I just feel she was put out by having him, even though he didn't need anything doing for him. If there's a next time, I'll ask the other neighbour, she is 80, but wouldn't hesitate to have him. Brings it home to me, that there is absolutely no one really for me to call upon, which is quite upsetting to be honest. Onwards and upwards eh.
I'm not working tomorrow, so it will be another PJ day - well at least until it's scouts. MiL phoned earlier and felt very sorry for me .
Took the sixteen year old to an open evening in the college yesterday. Took him to see the art dept - where eldest was waiting for us. Two of the tutors are on the Saturday morning course he goes to, and practically hugged when they saw him. So he'll be applying for engineering dept and the art dept, with option of sixth form if he does well in GCSEs. Art is winning at the mo.
Everything hurts with the coughing.
I know what you mean about the neighbours hazeleyes. Hard when they are getting on a bit in years.
Loads of hugs.
Here's hoping we all feel better tomorrow.
Oh the reluctance of a twelve year old to ask for help with sex education homework... Only took about an hour to stop the hysterical giggling until he got the courage to use "proper" words...
How funny, sparkling!!! 
What always cracked me up was that my boys made up their own words for "things"
How is everyone today?
Hi all, no pj evening for me last night. I got home and my adorable daughter was blue, saying she was bored, she had been home since 3pm and done nothing.
So I thought instead of worrying myself about it, we would go out!
We went to Wagamama's and then to our local cinema and watched Young Adult - Charlize Thieron, quite enjoyable and good topics for conversation afterwards!! So it turned out a busy evening! But fun, although going out is soo expensive these days!
Gals you are at home today hazeleyes, I hope that being cosy is helping you to feel better? You mention that your neighbours are quite old, are there other people locally who are perhaps a bit younger who you could befriend?
sparklinglime - I love it when children have to talk about sex education!! hee hee! I am glad that he got over his initial embarrassment and managed to cope eventually! I hope that you were able to have some fun with it too, we don't need to be too serious I don't think!
Louise - Internet compatible TV means that you are able to connect it to the internet, so that you can watch i-player and 4OD (& other channels), visit Facebook and any other webpages you wish! There is probably more but those are the basics!
I hope everyone else is well
Am really looking forward to sex education chats!!! It's great though that he did ask for your help Sparkling, in between the giggling of course. I didn't even know that they did homework on it!
Internet compatible TV, I'm guessing you'd have to buy a special plug, connection for it, or would it come with the tv? Sounds really good.
You're great Anna, taking your daughter out because she was feeling 'blue'. I'd have probably said something on the lines of 'tough' lol. Glad you both enjoyed the evening though, but like you say everything is sooo expensive. Hopefully next week, I'm taking C bowling. He's been once (last year for a birthday party), thoroughly enjoyed it, so I promised one day I would take him. Now I'm working, I can afford (at the moment) to do stuff like this.
Feeling totally rotten. Exactly the same as I did during Christmas period, and needed antibiotics. I rang the surgery first thing and have asked for GP to call me. Am hoping she can prescribe another ventolin, and if I'm extremely lucky, antibiotics without seeing me. I'm getting worried about the pre-assessment, and if chest isn't clear, they would postpone the op for obvious reasons, so I need to be better for that. C is saying his throat is still hurting, he is full of cold also, and his lips are bright red (sign of him being unwell). Unlike me though, he seems bouncy enough, as they do at a young age (oh to be young again).
Hope you get a nice relaxing day Sparkling, and try and keep in the warm.
How's everyone else? All looking forward to the weekend? Nothing planned here, but that's nothing new really. Not sure if Friday friend is coming round on Saturday, but right at this minute, I wouldn't want it anyway. Will wait and see.
Good luck wih the doctor, Hazeleyes.
The telly thing: you can buy Internet compatible tellies but then you need an adaptor, I had a look and they are £70 just for the adaptop! not at the moment, thank you.
I am going to see the scary new Daniel Ratcliffe film Woman in Black tomorrow, if my friend has managed to book tickets
My GP rang me, and is doing a prescription for me, antibiotics. She knows I wouldn't have asked for them if I didn't need, but did say if no better by next week, to see her. Hopefully chest will be clear by the assessment date she said. Asked how C was, and told her that he's still saying about his throat, but in all honesty he's getting on my wick, because of the way I'm feeling, hehe. Thankfully, she laughed! So, have to order a cab to collect prescription, then once he's dropped it off to me, I'll have to go to chemist, which is just on corner.
Louise, love the idea of Valentine's party. Thinking of fella to bring 
Wondering if Michael Douglas is free perhaps
Ooh Michael Douglas! I am torn between bringing Sean Bean and inviting someone funny such as Jason Manford or Jimmy Carr.
Glad you will get some antibiotics. Shame about the cab but it can't be helped. At least you have half term to get really better. The bugs that are going round at the moment are seeming to drag on. My friend, who is married, has two children of eight and ten. Ever since Christmas, one of them has been coughing all night, or being sick or had ear ache or a bad throat or head. She is absolutely so fed up so I guess you are feeling the same about yours and C's symptoms.
Hi sparkling, how are you feeling?
What is everyone up to today? I have the cinema later, which is exciting
I am sorry you're still feeling rotten hazeleyes. Glad you're having some anti-Bs. So good when your GP knows you.
I did go to Scouts yesterday, and sat in the corner. Daughter was briliant and helped. We did the flag down bit at the end, and she piped up that it was her last Horseshoe (it's the shape the scouts make to face the flag). I just cried.
I love watching my children grow up. They need to as I can't take them to the beach and build sandcastels anymore, so it is good. Yet that did choke me up.
The good thing is she enjoyed it, and hopefully will help in the future. She did proper Scouting before I took over, so has so much to bring.
I'm poorly though, so that was my excuse for crying! I slept better, so hopefully on the mend now. Colds were so easy to deal with when I was younger!
Cinema sounded good Anna. And enjoy your trip to cinema to Louise
With the homework, I did treat it seriously. When it comes to talking about sex, we do have a lot of laughter when discussing it - stuff on tele or on music videos. So I decided not to lark about this time
Off to park myself in the living room. I am not going out at all today, to see if staying in the same temperature can help.
Not sure I should venture in with all the germs about
Just wanted to say a couple of things - bringing Kevin Bridges to the Valentines Night
and I am having a great day today so far - I have cleared more stuff out - oh it feels good to get rid of all the junk that the idiot couldn't bear to throw away
and then I got showered and put on a nice dress and scarf and went and did my food shopping
it was nice to get one or two looks
Just left a message for my mum about going out for lunch on the Saturday of Mothers Day weekend as the idiot will have the kids that day and also said I want to go and see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel later this month again when the idiot is having the kids - I have told myself I must make more effort to have some nice things in my life
Hope everyone else is having a good day - start of school hols today so am feeling positive - catch you all later
sorry a bit ott on emoticons above or whatever they are called
Hi All
Sorry to hear that some of you are unwell am posting you some virtual flowers in the hope that you get well soon.
lrh i wonder if all man are hoarders or just the ones we know, did he have a man drawer? it does give you a confidence boost when you get a few side glances Can't remember the last time i really made an effort and went all out to impress 
Hope you enjoyed the cinema Louise
Glad you enjoyed your impromptu girly night Anna
Well hope you all have a good weekend, after several busy weekends ferrying kids around i am staying in and cosying up on the sofa (after i have wafted the duster around abit) and catching up with some t.v.
Anyone got any plans for the half term?
catching up with family on the odd day - hopefully relaxing with the kids and enjoying our time together - depends if weather behaves!
going out for pizza courtesy of tesco vouchers
hoping everyone is feeling better
Flowers are lovely and much appreciated Sally W. Can't smell them through blocked nose though Your day tomorrow chilling (apart from dusting) sounds good, enjoy!
Louise, have a lovely time at cinema. Wrap up warm, and no munching when the film is on!
lrh, well done you, not just for clearing out his rubbish, but also for attracting attention (you hussy you, hehe). Hope it cheered you, and gave your confidence a boost. Great to hear you're making plans for yourself when he has the children. It will give you some 'you' time, even if you end up on the settee with a good DVD. I see you have your date for next week, still not decided on mine yet. The world is our oyster on that night
Sparkling, is your daughter no longer going to scout after last night? I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, not sure if staying in the one warm place helps, hasn't done for me has it? I've had the heating on all day, every day this week, so am getting in a lather about the next bill, but I really had no choice, it's been freezing, and C was off school too, so that kind of decided it for me.
Woke up feeling a teensy bit better, and with that feeling, thought I could tackle some hoovering, but its taken it's toll, and feeling bad again, so just sitting for a while. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll be brighter still. Snow came down last night, and again quite heavy, so glad I didn't have to go out. Not sure if anymore is due, but fingers crossed for no more.
Hope everyone else is doing okay.
Hello everyone
Ooh the flowers look nice, Sally Enjoy your weekend, glad you will get some relaxing in.
Sparkling it is soooo bitter-sweet as they grow up, isn't it? A combination of pride in them, and relief that you have done a decent job (and some of the hard work is over) and some sadness that they need us less, or at least in a different way. I had a few sad days recently when I did not hear from eldest, well he was texting but he did not actually phone for 12 days. I felt quite hurt but I knew he was really busy with his dissertation and also the shop he works at was moving to a different part of the city. Anyway he finally phoned on Wednesday and again on Thursday so that was a relief. I said I have been trying to keep out of your hair and he said I know, we have not spoken about it but there are some times when I just need to get my head down, I really appreciate it that you know and understand (I thought "Hmm, I won't tell you I have been worried, I will just say I understand". All part of parenting ) Anyway I hope your day in the warm has helped your cough.,
Hazeleyes, your heating bill might not be as bad as you think as when you switch it on from cold it takes an awful lot of time to get the room warm to the thermostat temperature whereas if you have had it on all day then the flat will be warm in general.
LRH ooh Kevin Bridges good choice, he is so funny. I love the sound of the things you are doing, good for you, one of the very best things we can do for ourselves is plan nice things for the times our chiildren are with their other parent.I really fancy that Marigold Hotel film too
My Woman in Black film was scary and quite good but not WOW. I did not have any sweeties , just a nice coffee. I went with my friend and her daughter. When we got in, the row behind us was occupied by what looked like three of the cast of The Inbetweeners, and I thought "oh no!" but they were as quiet as mice and really absorbed in the film so it just goes to show.
morning everyone - I have got a new theme tune for myself - Good feeling by Flo Rida - mind you just read the lyrics and apart from the "sometimes - i get a good feeling" i have no idea what he is on about
anyone else got a theme tune to help them through the day
Good morning. lrh, the way I'm feeling right now, my tune would have to be 'staying alive' Bee Gees, hehe.
Another night of lack of sleep due to coughing. Bedside table looks like a pharmacy counter!!
C's homework was brought round yesterday, and also a science project, which the children did last year too. C's idea this year is for the solar system (help). I suggested making planets from paper mache, and from there I'm stuck, so any ideas greatly appreciated. I'll search on the net this morning, as he's eager to get started, and has a few weeks to prepare, but paper mache takes quite a while doesn't it? Perhaps some sort of mobile to hang them from? Am useless when it comes to these things, but C was going on last night about wanting to win at least a bronze medal. Last year we grew cress, different stages, with and without water. Cannot believe a year has gone already. I remember it like it was yesterday. Cress in airing cupboard, window sills hehe.
Anyhow, how is everyone else today? Looks pretty frosty and cold outside.
Hazeleyes, your wish is my command, heh heh. This solar system mobile looks refreshingly straightforward. I am guessing you tape the hanging loop to the underside of the plate so when you stand underneath it you can see the "sun" face-on?
Sorry to hear about the coughing 
I know so many people with it at the moment. Stay warm. Did you get the antibiotics?
Hi LRH, that's such a good tune.
Here is what I would like to be my theme tune........fingers crossed!
That is great Louise, thankyou. Shall get C to take a look in a while. Your tune, I wish I could Spring in the air lol.
Just had a lovely bath. Realised my electric won't last, especially with the washing that needs to be done, so am going to have to venture out. Oh well, fresh air might be good for us, and we'll wrap up warm. We have like a pound shop around the corner, so might pick up some bits and pieces for the solar system then. Thankyou again.
Sparkling, how are you doing? I know you're feeling poorly too. I hope your four angels are helping out, I'm sure they are, so you take it easy today, keep warm, plenty of hot drinks inside you. A few DVDs maybe?
Hi everyone, hope you are all ok
I have been so busy recently but havent forgotten any of you and just wanted to say hi really.
Everything is moving forward for us here, we made the front page of our local paper on Fri and its been a very busy 24 hours, what a responce, Louise I am sure you will be able to read it and can get an idea of just how busy its been but its all good
We are hoping to have a shop soon and will let you all know IF it happens, fingers crossed it will as we cant move here for bags and boxes etc.
Anyway hope each and everyone of you has a good day today and I will pop in as often as I can xxx
Hi tiredmum
How lovely to hear from you and to know your news. I did sneak a look at your paper, saw the article with you and your friend highlighting the food bank, how fantastic that you are making such a difference.I also saw the article about the family you helped, with the single dad. How are your own family? We are having an online party on here on Tuesday night (a non-Valentine's night haha) at 7.30 on the Just for Fun thread so that would be a good chance for you to drop in and say hello to a few old friends, if you are free
Hello Hazeleyes
Hope you coped with your trip into the cold. Did you have a better night? I felt a bit bored last night, so watched one of those pay per view movies, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, it was good and passed the evening on, Son was in but tired after work so he just wanted some time on his own. I am going out with my friend tonight, we will go and get a pizza. But before that I have promised myself I will tackle The Worst Drawer In The World. I think we all have one in our homes, and mine is on the list for today!
Hi to everyone else, hope you are all Ok, what are you planning for today? Has anyone got any ironing they want doing? (don't all rush at once )
No ironing today Louise, it's the start of the hols remember Enjoy your evening and pizza with your friend later. Do you have to still do a dinner for your son, or will he sort himself out? Agree on the Worst Drawer. I would say mine is in the kitchen, and everything, (and I mean EVERYTHING gets thrown in). Fancy clearing mine out?
Hi tiredmum. Glad everything is working out for you, even though you're busy, it's a tremendous achievement.
Sparkling, how are you feeling today?
Hello to everyone else. I wonder if elle will pop in today. Hope all is okay with her and R.
Friday friend came round yesterday, with her other friend too. It was a nice evening, and even though I wasn't really feeling up to it, C totally enjoyed playing with his friend. No kickoffs this time either!!! They didn't stay late. Once they went, C and I played a bit of loud music (sorry neighbours). We were in bed by about 10.30, so it wasn't that bad really. Going to get down to the homework today! Hope you all have a good day. Anyone have plans, other than Louise that is.
Hi Hazeleyes, so you are leaving the ironing for now, then? I have done the awful drawer out and another small one as well so am feeling very saintly. My grand declutter continues, I now have two full bags of rubbish and three bags for the charity shop.
Son just got home so had better do him some tea before I swan off to town Hope you have all had a decent day, at least it is going to be less cold this week
Well done Louise, not just one drawer, but two!!
I've had a very lazy day, but after the rotten week I've had, think I deserve it. My chest still isn't great, but I can notice an improvement. Thank heavens for antibiotics eh.
Enjoy your evening Louise.
Hi
Have just had to let the dog out due to no other offers.
I've managed to catch a bug at somepoint.
Probably the longest I've not posted.
Hope everyone is ok.
Will hopefully catch up soon when I feel less rotten.
Sorry you are feeling so dreadful, sparkling, we have really missed you but you must take care of yourself.
Hazeleyes, glad your chest is easing.
Had a nice meal last night (had pasta in the end) and returned to a bit of a "situation". Son has been with this new girlfriend for about 5 weeks now. It seems like his first "proper" relationship, in that everything else he has been involved with seems to fizzle out almost before it has begun. This is a girl he works with, she is 18 and he is 18 this year too. Anyway he wasn't in when I got home and had not left a note.I thought oh well he will be at a friend's house, if I have not heard by 9.30 I will phone him. Howver, he texted me before that, just saying "I am sleeping at X's house" (GIRLFRIEND 
) I just did not know what to do. So I left it and said "OK". Maybe this is one of the times that I have to trust to all the things I have taught him, hmmmmm.
What is everyone doing? I have some errands to do then am on the next stage of the grand decluttering. I need to get this chest of drawers emptied so I can put it in son's room and it will assist him in HIS decluttering
Good morning to everyone. Awww Sparkling, hope you'll start to feel better soon. Don't know what it is, but certainly does seem to be taking it's toll on me, but at Christmas, I also remember it taking forever for me to feel 100%. Just fed up with feeling like this, and also feeling sorry for myself too I think. Am trying to do little stuff around the flat, only washing etc, but even that is an effort, but has to be done.
Louise, I'm sure your son will fine. You've taught him well, and he sounds like a sensible lad. More decluttering for you then? Good luck.
Not going out today, but tomorrow is definately shopping day, no doubt about that one. Fast running out of food. I'll carry on pottering in here, maybe even sit and go through paperwork stuff, lord knows where it all comes from!
I hope all is well Louise.
Eldest has been out shopping today. So handy. The children have been good.
I've just taken some immodium now. What ever it is, it doesn't want to leave me alone. I feel better though.
The house is such a tip. It's looking a bit better now though. Eldest has a curry going in the slow cooker
I am so sorry, I've not been on so long again! And it's impossible to catch up on everything. Have just finished the last of the assignments, phew.
Now out in the community with the district nurses - you wouldn't believe the houses I see! And the animals. Never mind the people!
Had a lovely weekend at friends with all my children and all their children (there were ten of us altogether).
Hope you're all ok! xx
Hi all, its beautiful weather here, really cheered me up this morning to see blue sky, sunshine and not such a cold chill in the air
Happy shopping hazeleyes
sparklinglime, glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better, keep going, it is going to feel so wonderful to feel well again Glad your gorgeous little people are looking after you, was the curry good?
Hopeful, do not apologise, we know you have been busy. WELL DONE for completing your assignments, we are very proud of you.
I hope everyone else is doing well today, have a good one and don't forget to check out our Valentine's Party tonight!
Sorry I didn't make it on here in time this evening.
There's been like a day-school that's been going on for three weeks with the OU, and this week is a bit intense. And had a long day at work too - not good when feeling ropey!
I feel I've cracked a rib with the pain when I cough now! I'm seeing the practice nurse on Thursday morning. I'm sure I haven't really, as I can breathe fine...
Wishing everyone a fantastic day! There is lovely sunshine outside my window (although that probably means it's quite cold... sigh....
Off to do another lot of district nursing now! Hugs to all! x
Good morning all!
Great to see you, Hopeful. Wow yes, having done some work in the community I can well imagine the houses you may have to visit! You are doing so welll to keep pace with the demands of the course, glad you have some sun this morning,
Hi sparkling, sorry you could not make it to the party but Hazeleyes has your party bag and I have put a giant Caramac within Hope you are feeling a bit better today. As for the coughing, you could well have pulled all the muscles round your ribs but once I cracked a rib and it was less painful than I would have imagined, see what the nurse says.
Hazeleyes, how are you doing? Hope your chest feels better, and you can get some fresh air.
Son is at work today but got home very late so will be grumpy.....and it's mince for tea!. I had counselling yesterday (three clients) My eczema is bad at the moment (hands very sore) so I will have t try and get an appointment with the GP. Lovely to see the weather improving, I have some daffodils coming up in the garden
I'm sorry you're hands are sore. Louise, not nice.
I shall really enjoy the Caramac Thank you
Funny enough, laying on my side that hurts meant it didn't hurt when I coughed! Now I'm up again, it's hurting - not horrendous though.
My garden needs a real tidy up. And a jet wash! A lot of slaps which are trying to look like grass.
Shall catch you all later.
Hope you're batter hazeleyes. I don't mind you and C having a row of Caramac
How are you enjoying it Hopeful? I'm sure you meet such different characters.
Hi all, I do hope that everyone isn't too hungover after last nights shenanigans!!
My daughters party went suprisingly well, all the kids were respectful and well behaved, I was most impressed. Music off at midnight and they just drifted away with 6 sleeping over and I have just heard that there are 3 left and they are on a mission to restore the flat back to its original glory! Brilliant and I haven't had to do a thing!
I hope this Weds is lovely for all. I will be packing my bags for my imaginary trip to the Bahamas tomorrow, so will see you all on my return next Weds with a fantastic tan!!
Have a lovely time Anna - don't forget the suncream!
Wait Anna........ You've forgotten me!!!!
Hello to everyone. Today I can actually say that I'm feeling better, still coughing, but chest isn't feeling so heavy. I took the buggy (C's old one) and did some shopping today. C, bless him carried it all up the stairs for me, and unpacked it. By the time we arrived home, I was feeling slightly breathless, but am okay again now (thank god).
Sparkling, sorry to hear you're in pain with the ribs, probably pulled a muscle or something, due to the coughing. Sooner you're checked the better.
Hope you're putting plenty of cream on Louise, sore hands really do get sore don't they? Leave all washing up to son, as you should stay out of water as much as possible. Is it possible for you to find out the correct amount for council tax before single parent discount etc? I have tried, but me being me I can't It's a band C, and I think you can get my postcode from my profile can't you? There's no hurry (chop chop). It's just I'm paying £3 less than someone around the corner, and she's not entitled to any benefit, so it's not making sense to me.
Hopeful, glad things are all going well for you and your job. How are the children doing?
lrh, Bella, hope you've recovered from last night. It was fun wasn't it, thankyou Louise and Anna.
Have a nice holiday Anna.
Have a nice hol. Anna, and bring us all back (racks brains for what she might buy us in the Bahamas) nice grass skirts, Then we could have a hula party!
I will investigate the council tax thing Hazeleyes......
I would really like to swap with Anna! I feel like I have no time for me at all at the moment. And the children leave all the chaos because they know my defences are down - I just haven't got the energy to nag and argue at the moment.
District nursing is interesting, but the paperwork they have to do is just horrendous! I love meeting all the patients though, there are some right characters. One lady told me today I had a dog's name (she is actually sort of right, but still, would you say that to someone??) - she made me laugh because she is really quite something.
Glad to see most of you are ok. Hazeleyes, I hope this cough is on its way out for good now!
Hugs to all! x
Hi Hopeful,. yes a week's holiday in The Bahamas would set you up nicely. I know what you mean about District Nursing, I know someone who does that job and she loves the patients but says she does not like the time in the office keeping her records. On top of which you have your studying!
How is everyone this morning? Hope the poorly people are improving. I am out and about for most of the day and so will be back in later. Had a long chat with son about The Girlfriend. He has met her dad but not her mum who works night shifts. Their meal: she had a cheese and tomato pizza and he had half the menu by the sounds of things. I am sure he will be broke now for the rest of February.
Anyway will talk to you all later when I have got back from my meetings
hi, i really enjoyed the party. when is the next one? ha.
council tax. this may help not sure. mine was £170 month for two adults now i just pay £94.04 im band E. its almost £1700.00 year.i live just beyond council area who are all band A!!!!
hopeful, you sound like you like the job you do. its similar to the one i do, i think. i like meeting all the different people. its my vocation. just a shame i cant get my proper job title. oh well.
oh the night after the party my head was banging! i only had a weak martini and that was with my pal who came for tea around 5. in the morning i wouldnt drive so took the bus! must have enjoyed myself on the virtual drinks too much!! i would not be any good at a derren brown meeting, i would fall into a trance immediatly!
oh hurrah, ive managed to get my lookilikey up! taken ages to do. not able to put children onthere just yet.
Well at least we can see you on your avatar now, Bella
The hunt is on for the next person to host an online party. Any takers, anyone?
I have done my meetings. Am in a quiz team tonight, not even sure with whom, was just asked to make up the team numbers, what if I get there and it is the Eggheads?
How is everyone today?
Just a quick hello to you all...I just have been so busy lately...and have done a quick update in my thread....I miss you all, and when things calm down a bit will pop in again soon...
I am in a good place right now though...
xxxxx hugs.
Good morning on this freezing Feb day!! Yes Sparkling, am with you on the coughing thing. It really does wear you down doesn't it? I'm sure my neighbour downstairs wishes I'd move hehe.
I really really don't want to go to work today. Not only for me, as I feel dreadful, but also for the children. Not fair that I could pass my coughs and sneezes onto them! Being stuck in a cold classroom isn't filling me with joy either I might add.
Hope you're all okay, and if you've also got cold and coughs, hope you feel better soon.
