Hello my good friends

Its lovely to be asked to set up our new support tread especially as we head towards our first festive season supporting each other.

I hope Frasers part of the journey is as smooth as Eris, Jack and Matt&Gareths

Evening all.........

Deemented · 03/01/2009 21:07

Hiya Lottie. Hows you tonight?

I'm a bit shattered - living room is fully painted, apart from glossing a radiator. Next job is to wallpaper feature wall - should be fun as i've never hung a strip of wallpaper in my entire life

lottiejenkins · 03/01/2009 21:10

I dont feel any better..........i hope the advice on your other thread helps! I think the council are taking the piss out of you sweetie! Id take on board a lot of the advice!!

Deemented · 03/01/2009 21:27

Oh i intend to lottie - i now have a friend coming with me whose mum deals with Shelter within her job, and she's gotten loads of good advice for me, so am feeling much more confident about going to them now.

Morning ladies.

I've woken up with a headache and I've got my family coming round en-masse later - not a good mix!

I missed the JT thread, sounds like I'm glad I did.

I'm off to gob down some paracetamol.

Have a good day ladies.

shabster · 04/01/2009 10:43

Good morning girls. Morning Moveit - all sounds like fun

lottiejenkins · 04/01/2009 11:27

Morning all........have managed to get dressed today. Wilf got very upset yesterday when i was ill as he can remember when his dad was ill and didnt get dressed. He kept saying "dont die mummy" I did try to explain that i felt better today though!!

shabster · 04/01/2009 11:38

Awww poor Wilf. Danny used to be the same after we lost Mat.

Glad you are feeling a little better

Frasersmammy - You would have been proud of me - I was polite, spelt everything right, amazing punctuation etc etc. I just got my point over to the 'not very nice' people

You ask Lottie she will tell you how controlled and calm my postings were. Sometimes I just cant leave things!!!

lottiejenkins · 04/01/2009 17:46

She was a model of goodness!! Well done Shabs xx

shabster · 04/01/2009 17:48

Thanks Lottie - it was hard work being so polite but I did it!!!!!!

lottiejenkins · 04/01/2009 17:54

No probs Shabs... am now eating my tea savoury potatoes and ham and cheese kieves.........then apple crumble... then im going out into the cold dark night to deliver the leftovers to Mr "I do your hedge and garden and you feed me"!!..................

shabster · 04/01/2009 17:59

ROFL Lottie - now Im starving!

lottiejenkins · 04/01/2009 18:04

I literally take my life in my hands going to his! He lives in a caravan and it is accessible ONLY by walking over flat pallets which are like iceblocks when it gets cold oh and the really fun bit is there is very little light on your way round there!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 04/01/2009 19:18

The family have gone, Mac is in bed and I am knackered!

My niece and nephew were fab with ds so luckily I didn't have to entertain him, but I spent the time running around getting everyone drinks and food instead!

shabster · 04/01/2009 23:48

Good night girls - its snowing hard here!! xx

shabster · 05/01/2009 07:17

Good morning - not even a trace of snow now!!! But it is freeeeeeeeeeeezing!!

Deemented · 05/01/2009 07:52

Morning folks

No snow here either, and it's not too cold because it's been raining.

Busy day today - i'm getting laid. Or rather the floor coverings are then this afternoon im off to see my housing officer wrt getting the house fit for habitation. Id much rather be back in bed though

shabster · 05/01/2009 07:53

Good luck today Dee - I will be thinking about you. Go get 'em girl xx

lottiejenkins · 05/01/2009 08:27

We have snow here! Wilf is totally over the moon....when i opened the door to show him he signed "beautiful"

shabster · 05/01/2009 08:45

Awwwww - we have about an inch of hard, slippy ice - its such a delight

travellingwilbury · 05/01/2009 08:47

Good morning everyone

Nearly back to normal here , no school until tomorrow but oh is back to work and we took the tree down yesterday so the house suddenly looks like it has space . Won't last long but I will enjoy it while it lasts

I am supposedly starting a diet today along with the rest of the western world so wish me luck .

I hope everyone is ok

shabster · 05/01/2009 08:57

Hiya TW - good to see you. Tom is back at school this morning - and things are settling down - thank God!!!

Im giving up the booze except for week-ends. Have drunk too much over the holidays and feel like poo this morning. It has been my 'crutch' for many years but Im tired of it now. Never thought I would hear myself say those words - another few steps down our crappy path me thinks?
