Hey girls
Quiet today on here - hope all are well.
Happy Hallowe'en. We are off to a goth wedding reception tonight!!!
Had a good time at my girls' night out last night. I bought something new to wear ... OMG, can't believe I'm saying this! A black jumpsuit! Must say, it looked great! Off the shoulder on one side, other side with sparkly bits on it. Very flash.
Bought some other new clothes yesterday too, about time the wardrobe had an update - all from Asda though, so I got 6 items for the price of about one really LOL
Well, been to a Xmas concert rehearsal with DC's music class this morning, then local castle for a runaround, and they had crafts there so did some sticking too.
DH is doing the pumpkin atm.
Probably see you all tomorrow - looking forward to a bit of a rest at some point in my life! This week is manic - getting ready for DS's birthday, his party, then two other nights out this week too ... and Bonfire ... Phew!

[wendyhappysmile]

Tea I have emailed you - will you get back to me!?

[EHM]

wendy sorry to read dh's friend terrible news-really puts things into perspective! You both must have been deeply saddened by this. You go girl in your cat suit. Have fun tonight at the goth wedding reception. Its my parents wedding anniversary today too
We are staying in a 2 bed terraced. Its about 10-15 years old well maintained & very comfortable. Thanks for asking.

ruby hope you got holiday sorted & sorry that you also received sad news.

Evening all

EHM I am not staying in the hospital under any but the most dire circumstances after the horror that was last time. The consultant has agreed that he will do the op under a local (maybe sedation), so that I allowed out and he will revriew me at Guisb
I know that it is not the best option, but i
t is all I can manage right now and I have to have the extra breast tissue removed.

So DH will look after me at home.

wendy You go girl, catsuit and all

.

Wolf I like things as they are at the moment I think, just wish we had a little more money, but then doesnt evey one.

I have been sewing again hearts for the mini;s

Morning all Wolfcub Arrgh! must be the way your feeling. It does get better promise.
Thank for the thread and for the reminders quite useful.

[wendyhappysmile]

Morning all Wolf poor you, hope things improve
Star you are a busy bee today. We are tumble drying today too
scatty enjoy the day and DC free time!
EHM hope you found some trick or treaters. How is Ellie taking the move? My DS was very unsettled when we moved and his behaviour altered, he was just 3.

Well - goth wedding last night was great, so refreshing to see people getting married how they want to do it - and everyone having such fun! (I'm not a big wedding fan, btw. Sorry, wolf! Each to their own but personally they leave me cold!)
MIL was in talkative mood. Remember I said about DH's childhood friend having 3 weeks to live: well, the story is it's a neighbour of DH's parents. The street was like Ramsey Street when they were growing up, and MIL/FIL are best, very close friends with this family. So MIL looked after their children all the time. The friend is SIL's best friend from childhood - so she is devastated too. My MIL, bless her, doesn't do feelings (she has hugged me twice - on the birth of my second child, and when her mother died) and has never told DH she loves him, is proud of him etc etc. So to see her so visibly upset was awful. She doesn't cry, just you can tell she is upset because she has more compassion in her voice, ifyswim.
Anyway.
We are just up - children at my mum's!!! Better get cracking.
Sorry to put the day on a downer. I am trying to get a postive from it all and living life to the full. MIL said this to me last night - she told me to spend money, enjoy life, drink a lot and not waste my time on this earth!

[Simply]

Hello to all. Just a short post from me as I have a headache that won't shift. I'll give up and take some tablets in a bit if it is still there.

I hope you feel better soon Ruby.

Bye for now. Back later if I feel human!

[scattyspice]

wendy - that wedding sounds fun. Mil speaks much sense I'd say.

Ruby and simply - hope you feel better soon.

Done:
buy food and papers
laundry and ironing
ds homework
pack bookbags and find library books/PE kits
make pack lunches

Had a windy trip to the park with Ds on his bike - boy did he fly LOL.

[Wolfcub]

evening all

it has been a bad day. I have been ill, dp has been out, ds has been in one of his moods and the dishwasher has leaked all over the kitchen. My efforts to fix dishwasher has so far failed and repeat floodings have occurred.

tea will be sending many positive vibes your way tomorrow. Here's hoping for a successful result and a rapid recovery. hugs

[wendyhappysmile]

Mad Thinking of you for tomorrow.
Had a mad mad day again - FIL has fitted a shelf in the kitchen but the second one was the wrong colour. Had yummy pumpkin soup for tea though and homemade bread rolls. Just making parsnip and butternut squash bake for tomorrow's tea. Determined to be more organised this week!
See you all tomorrow

[TeaMonster]

Evening all

Ruby You have made me smile so much - thank you. What the surgeon said is the fact that he already removed 6.5 kg it was highly likly that there would be more to remove once they could see it better!!! I am hopeful that that he can made things more confotable. Then I will just see how things go before even contemplating a reconstruction.
