Lyra, Oggs, Berrie, Zeb (and Binkle) ....

[oggsfrog]

...... do you realise we've been chatting now for almost 18months .

Berrie, thankyou for the very kind offer to mug your children. It's much appreciated .
Tbh the car only cost £150 last year so it's reached the end of it's days I'm afraid - we need to get another one.

I know the feeling though - I think I've done really well at the shops sometimes, but try as I might I can't get it below £100 a week. Must Try Harder.

Morning Berrie. I've just spoken to him and he's waiting to find out what time he needs to go in. He doesn't want me there, but the au pair, who was due to leave tomorrow, is staying an extra week. Apart from that, no, not really. No parents and a sister he doesn't speak to. Obviously, I'll take the week off for DS if he has to stay in, although I think I'll get my mum down here (plus car!) if that happens. I don't think he's going to want me around the farm though, which is fair enough. And he absolutely, categorically will not want my parents anywhere near him.

He says he's even worse today than he was on Friday, and that's including painkillers. I guess we all just have to wait and see. Poor guy, I just feel so sorry for him.

Sorry Berrie, I didn't get to see your new toyboy yesterday after all. I spent most of yesterday afternoon sleeping, waking up in time for Lark Rise!

Was that a hangover or worry?

Is there pain in his chest then? Do they think it is a tumour?

Why would he not want you at the farm? Is he bitter about you leaving him?

Thinking about you Zeb. x

The git. He didn't go today. He was waiting in for the effing plumber. He finally let me know around 4pm. Apparently he'll go tomorrow.

As for the farm - I think that question is not one I want the answer to. But yes, I think he'll blame me for at least contributing to the downturn in his health.

Oh dear...
Another long day for you tomorrow then.
I should be around if you need me.

thanks Berrie. But don't neglect your leching research into the Twilight genre!

Tee hee... am just about to watch the trailor for the gazillionth time!

I think your devotion to your research is impressive. Although I think Oggs may have got a little too devoted to her DT research.
Here's to another looooong day. Hopefully I won't be shouting at everyone by 4pm, like yesterday.

Yup she's missing isn't she.
I'm sure people won't mind you yelling for one more day.

I'm distracting a bereaved relative today. Do I try to talk about the departed or avoid discussing him?

Oh dear. That's so sad. I think definitely mention them, then it's up to the other person if they want to continue talking. I think the bereaved hate it when people avoid the subject.

Maybe Oggs is now stalking DT so doesn't have time to speak to us?

I think he turned up in his tardis and has taken her to another planet as his new squeeze. Rose?...Rose who?

yYou see i'm not on a par with Oggs yet as I've only just thought to do this!

I'll have to wait until I get home. I've been blocked from the site. Is it roood?

No he's just topless and I wouldn't bother it's not a good pic at all, he looks about 12...in fact he probably is...it is a rude site though I believe.

I texted Oggs to see if she was in a far off galaxy but she was at home and the storm has blown everything down. She asked about dh and sent her love to you!

Any news Zeb?

Yes Zeb, any news?

What are you doing up at that time of night Lyra? Dh away?

Lyra's probably been out on the lash again.

Well, I left work yesterday pm when DH asked me to take DS, who I now have until tomorrow morning. The au pair is away, and I'm pretty certain he's not keen on having DS on his own as he really can't cope. It's anyone's guess if he takes himself to hospital today. I think he's avoiding it all, in case he doesn't come out again, or something. Yep. Ostrich. Sand. He knows this. So frankly, I'm not wasting my life worrying until he can sort himself out.

Either that or he's busy writing his will that will be vitriolic about my parents and ensure I have to send DS to public school using a trust fund he is doubtless putting in place too. I just know that's going to be a piece of work.

So today, we are painting, shopping, cooking and playing with scissors.

Oh dear. i don't really understand...what was wrong with him exactly?

Aside from having a heart that's knackered and possible lung cancer, you mean? Just a bad case of avoidance-itis I think.

No no, I mean what made the Doctor think he has lung cancer and a dodgy heart? Why did he go to to the Doctor?

Oh I see. Coughing blood. Severe pains in chest, arms, legs. Collapsing after pushing a wheelbarrow about 10 yards. Unable to walk 500 yards without having a 'turn'. This has been going on for almost 3 weeks now. I've just sent him a snotty text telling him to go, as this is actually about DS now, not just him. He hasn't responded.
Grrrr, I'm losing patience.

I'm usually up till that time Berrie. I'm a night owl.
Zeb, that sounds pretty grim. He needs to get that checked out asap.

Lyra, I know. And he knows. He's just putting it off.

How frustrating for you.
Lyra...that's the middle of the night for me though I do remember you saying something about going back to bed after the dc have gone once. I've been meaning to ask you about how to get into a routine on 'days off.' DD goes 2 full days now and I don't know what to do with myself. I feel I should be doing soemthing useful but not guilty enough to actually do it!
