Hey Trinity,
I haven't been here much lately. So, so sorry to hear your news.
Good to see you are up and putting one out in front of another.
Much love to you Trin. Use all the support you can get.

Morning Trin, well done on getting a shower and freshening up, it never fails to lift me.

Brill news about the cooker, and well done on dealing with Littlewoods.

Know exactly what you and Zeno mean about the legs. Mine are "uber" legs. They have to carry such a load sometimes they feel like they are not mine.

Good idea re the social worker as well, keep them informed and see where they can help.

Take care much love CM xxx

One foot in front of another.

One out in front of another could mean a load of unfortunate things >

Hi Trin, I've just googled and it says that doubles are usually 190cms, so 180 might be too small for you.

ExcuseTypos · 16/05/2013 10:38

Don't feel bad about not answering everyone.

No one expects that at all.x

JaxTellerIsAllMine · 16/05/2013 10:41

I always wondered why I had sturdy treetrunk legs. Now I know!

Keep on, keeping on Trin, you are doing marvellously in the circumstances.

Mouseface · 16/05/2013 10:47

Morning Trin

Firstly, sorry for snot fest Sad

Secondly, YAYAYAY for cheque!

Thirdly, YAYAYAY for new cooker!

Fourthly, bang on re the SW, I was going to ask you about that, if it was worth heading them off at the pass so to speak. You know the script so yes, as others have said, work with them and give her a call :)

Fifthly, I am glad you are getting some RL support today even though you don't feel great, this cold is all of the adrenaline coming out in physical form darling, pure exhaustion.

So try and rest when you can, when Cliff's ex-wife gets there, would she walk L Pup for you or sit with the girls for an hour so you can go back to bed? Or just get some jobs done?

Sixthly, could you get two double beds and put them together? You could get someone to bolt them together for you, like in hotels?

Seven.............. oh feck it......

You are doing great, you really are. Big, snot free Huggles to you and the girls xxx

this is the king bed we have its the same size as a super king on that benson link. 190cm is the head to for measurement of a double.
This one is 200 head to door and 180 side to side. Where a standard double is only 135 side to side.

Charleymouse · 16/05/2013 10:52

According to Bensons and Ikea that is usual for a king size.

That should be head to foot, not door! Although I suppose that depends on how big your bedroom is! Sorry for taking over the thread with bed talk, it's a thing very close to my heart. I love my bed very muchly!

Is eleventy twelve from LOG too? I use that quite a bit.

BobblyGussets · 16/05/2013 11:05

BeerTricks, no! I am a forty year old woman who should know better....

I am loving the League of Gentlemen humour, Trinity, you had a good one there.

"Today's Sesame Street has been brought to you by the letters M, T and the number twelvety!" Grin

Bug hugs xx

LulaPalooza · 16/05/2013 12:27

Trinity, I am so, so sorry. I am uncharacteristically lost for words. Sending you and your beautiful, lovely, smart girls some un-Mumsnetty hugs.

Re beds... if you get a supermahoosive bed for you and the girls, get an extra duvet too. And tons and tons of pillows. Make it your sanctuary xxx
