Why can't you? Are the kids back at school or can you have a duvet day?

Can you bring all duvets down and plot up on the couch? Popcorn and movies?

It may be too soon but have you thought about doing a collage of photos and mementos of your time and the kids time with Cliff?

You can get the kids to draw little pictures of his fave things and get a big pin board, attach photos, ticket stubs etc?

Morning Trinity, sorry you're all snotty.
Can you just let the puppy out for 10 minutes? Then make a and go back to bed for a couple of hours, lemon and honey instead of milk would do you good.
Or better still, get your eldest to do it all for you
Here's a box of tissues for you.

now I'm annoyed too
I had an account with littlewoods years ago and I had a direct debit set up to pay it off and I ended up over paying by quite a bit so I thought
I\ll go and buy a new bed from them as I can only use the credit from them, they wont give me the money back

but they dont do super king size

I'm quite fond of a snot river. It's fascinating to see what vile shades of green the body can produce.

Regarding legs, mine are now tree trunks, and could crack a coconut, never mind walnuts. You seem like a person strong in the leg too. Believe it or not, this is a good thing.

This will sound twisted no doubt to those who have not been in similar circs, but the traumatic sudden death of my sister absolutely helped me to survive the traumatic sudden death of my young daughter two years later. It's all in the legs you know.

I'm around - could you go & have a shower & wash your hair? The steam from the shower & massaging of the head can sometimes help the snot.

TrinityRhino · 16/05/2013 09:28

I'm going to force myself right this second
i'll be back

There you go, you are doing well to have a shower. I don't fancy one today and prefer to smell, and I'm not even going through anything unspeakable shit. I just, for some reason, really don't want a wash

Do you have Vicks? Rub some on the soles of your feet and put on warm fluffy socks (matching optional) it really does help. Alternatively chocolate cake is good too :)

On the littlewoods thing, I don't think they can keep your money and only offer credit. I know you probably don't want a fight with them right now, but I reckon we could get your money back.

she is being very kind
cliffs adult son who lives near has recently moved and they bought a new cooker for the new house and they are bringing me their old one today

I tried to say no but they insisted especially as we may get ss sniffing around
a working cooker is essential

I actually rang my old very kind social worker to let her know because I thought proactive is the best way to be

Yay! Good on littlewoods! I'm so glad Trinity.

Can I recommend ikea beds? We have a king and its 4 inches wider than a uk king, not so sure about super king, but it is big enough for lard arses me and dh and DS who likes to break dance in his sleep. And they are pretty reasonably priced too. I know you are a bit away from Ikea but they do deliver. Feel free to ignore, you have more important things to deal with just now.
