LIGHTen up!

[Mouseface]

Hello, I'm Mouse

This is a thread for those who want to lose weight, keep weight off, get fitter and talk about cheese and chocolate healthy eating.

No rules, just join in, We won't bite.

Unless you ask very nicely!

Will do xx

I'm here, tea in hand - where is everyone?

Hey saf. We got to school on time for once

Not that we are ever late late, but we usually get there as they are going in to class. DS will not get dressed in the morning grrrr.

Morning.

Another night from hell. 2am til just before 6. Wouldn't settle in our bed or his.

I am in such pain and so tired. Managed a shower. Sat in my giant hoodie and joggers, eating toasted muffins and drinking strong, piping hot coffee. I'm freezing. Gah!

How are we all? Sending lots of hugs out to you all today.

Bitter - how are feeling re meds today?

SAF - and you?

Double - I LOVE roller coasters! And the Pepsi Max is awesome! I like watching tv shows about the huge rides all over the world! Sad Mouse, very sad!

Today I will be mostly running on adrenalin (SP?)

Aw mouse, sorry you are having such a shit time. Remember this too will pass, and at leat you don't have a hangover thrown into the mix!

Good news re:meds is I don't feel panicky. I just feel flat. I wish they would bloody hurry up and work.

Hello.. kickboxing helped a little last night.. the gorgeous beeatch worked us like dawgs

I luurrvvve gruelling physical work.

I'm here too.. drinking apple juice and a cup of coffee..

I can't go on rides and stuff, even the dodgems make my spine hurt..

quietish day which I really need..

Daaay 6.

Good to hear that you're not as jittery Bitter.

Hey Mouse.. take it easy huh? If you can.. are there any chances of getting a carers break?could someone like this help? However much you love Nemo, you will burn out with all the other stuff on your plate. (((( )))) xx

Hey Bitter.. you should start to feel 'brighter' soon.. x

Fair sounded fun ID and I have student but bloody well done you lady xx

TC how is DS?

I seriously wish my parents would ring up and say 'hey, we would like to see DC's^. Not gonna happen but it would do the DC's a lot of good.

How is Mole Brian? And you?

Hey Crunch if you drop in xx

And 100, I don't catch up with you much but hope all is well.. have you been to the Docs? I am sure you said you needed to see them...

I want to give up my business but don't know where to start or what to do...

Mittz - You just need to give your customers notice and tell the IR/VAT/TAX that the company has ceased trading - if you pay tax/NI etc....

If you give them a date (assuming that this applies to you) they will give you a final VAT/Tax bill for the period of April 05 2010 to date.

Doesn't that depend on how much the company makes/you earn etc?

Also tax credits if you claim them, will need to know your change in circumstances.

Re help, it's a very sore subject in the Mouse house. MrM does help. But he also has to run a business. I have asked about available care and tbh, no-one locally could look after Nemo (SureStart) as they wouldn't be trained to care for his specific needs.

But thank you so much for thinking of us. You are lovely. xxxx

But at the moment I have nothing to put in it's place Mouse.. Painting doesn't bring a steady or reliable income, health issues limit what I can do, and I have limited skills and struggle to find the chance to expand them. Child care issues and the like. The nearest Uni is a good hour away (as I don't drive).

I don't know how I would cope financially but ache to do something with my life.

Sorry Mittz...... not sure what to suggest! I know what you mean about not knowing where to start. I guess you need to start with being financially secure?

Double - well done on getting the forms sorted!! Fingers crossed that you get it! I know how much it will help you out.

Are your DCs off all week? Is it race week this week or am I making that up? (brain ache!)

It's a mix here today, cloudy then sunny but really windy!! It's mad!

Morning Double and Mittz.

Mittz I know exactly what you mean, it's knowing where to start.

DD is screaming her head off. Overtired methinks.

Looked at OU stuff but financing things seems to be a nightmare and I don't know who/where/what/why/if/ to go about finding out. Haven't the current government made it difficult to return to Uni?

I still want to take a week off when DC's are at school to sort some stuff so might try phoning some people..

Must get on,... xx

Have they finally caught up with you double?

I have just agreed to meet an old school friend for lunch tomorrow - eek!

She's in bed Saf, just really fighting it for some reason.

Bitter - why eeekkk? Have you not seen her since school?

Nemo is overtired too. As am I. I can feel a tantrum coming on!!

Ok, is it just me or are CBeebies showing the same Boogie Beebies, Zingzillas and other shows over and over, day after day? Or are my meds doing more than I thought?

Double - HIDE!!!!
