Maxy that hemp stuff was half price not so long ago but also in the 3 for 2, so you were getting 3 for £10 instead of 1 for £10. Was all over MSE etc and sold out really quickly (ggrrr I didn't get any!). So I imagine that seller got it then.

The hemp hand repair is fantastic so imagine the foot stuff just as good.

maxybrown · 10/06/2010 23:08

ooh ok thanks

Well maxy i don't really know. It does not look like the hemp deep stuff i am talking about but does look real iykwm. Nothing against ebay but i would want the real stuff. sure james could do without a wee top in place for his mummy's sore feet. I am as bad maxy. I have not had my eye brows waxed for a year and i am getting fed up with the it now.I want to look nice again. Just been chatting to a long lost friend on face book and she just gave me the biggest boost ever.

She sent me some pics of how i used to look and told me that no matter how i look i am always the same person but she is the only women that agrees with my husband that i could improve. Loved this friend of mine at work and then she left for America with her gorg family. Now she told me a few home truths tonight and it is so funny how things happen. Remember Nicola told me i have a guardian Angel well i could not believe i got a message from this girl. She says i need a kick up the arse and get my life in order in the nicest way ever.

Carrie i think my husband is having and i hate saying this a breakdown. He has been a wonderfull husband and son to his father and a rock for everyone to be hones. Maybee a wee bit too perfect. He is no good at sad emotions and found our lives a wee bit too much to handel. Mum an alcoholic and now in a home. He was the only on in his family who helped his parent when they where very poor and i mean poor, His other siblings dissed his mum and dad for there troubles and addictions but my dh always seen the best int them and helped them with shopping and food and love. Thats why the sister is so bitter. We have envolved his parents no matter what.

The first person that held olivia was my Dh mum. She was admitted that year and i was insisting that nobody seen olivia until dh mum seen her. Controversial or what!!! We were let into the ward and dh mum was so happy. Nobody wanted his mum to hold my new baby but i did and it was such a memory for me and my dh. His mum cradeld her and said how beautiful she was and it was a picture.

My husband has lost his mum to Alzheimer's and alcoholism and she was one of the most wonderful srong person i have ever met. Such a shame i loved her. I knew her long before i met her son.

What i am trying to say is my husband has been my rock and helped me through many things however he has had a fling affair what ever you want to call it. I think he has come to breaking point now and asked him to leave but he insists he loves me.

I have looked after myself for the past few weeks and thank god for that. I feel real again and thank god for Maxy and Nicola and no disrespect for anyone else but i have bothered these two with personal emails and been very obliging. I feel like i am in a better place now quoting flyme i am off work but now dealing with a horrible couple of years. My sisters death and being told my husbands illness would mean we could have no more children and then having daniel when i am still grieving for my sister has messed everything up. However please forgive me but i am happy just now and love i can share my happy times and not so happy. Love you all and i did tell you i was going to have some wine. Night night and dont let the screaming dreams bight xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

maxybrown · 10/06/2010 23:37

morning.

How is Daniel this morning Basl? and How is your head? wondering if you got up to go jogging today?!

I'm off to see my Grandma today - usually go with my Mum, so wish me luck!! I'll be when I come out

OP posts:
basl · 11/06/2010 10:21

crawls in with head pounding!!!!!

Yes to the jogging but thought i was going to be sick.

Spoke to a girl on face book who is a bodyshop person. I think we can get 15% off. I will contact her today.

Daniel crying all morning.

GeekOfTheWeek · 11/06/2010 10:43

Morning,

Is daniels arm still sore? A sprain or bruising to the joint can be v painful. Give him childrens paracetamol and ibuprofen together (doses on the packaging). Paracetamol up to 4 x in 24 hours, ibuprofen up to 3 x in 24 hours. If it is swollen try to keep it elevated.

basl, hangover of doom?

I have saved calories all week so i can have wine tonight. Excited doesn't cover it!

maxy, have heard that flexitol is really good, as are the creams with ?urea in. I would use the cotton socks if you can as it improves absorbtion. If things don't improve then see your gp for referral to podiatry or a prescription for 'stronger' heel cream.

5inthebackofthenet · 11/06/2010 12:18

Basl, hope the wine flu has one. Your posts always make me laugh, ot want to give you a huge cuddle.

I'm on FB, if you want to add me you can

Took MIL food shopping today, she really gets my goat. She is so annoying

basl · 11/06/2010 13:06

I will take that big cuddle 5in thanyou and very much appreciated.

Geek Been to chemist and got some ibuprofen and tried my best at a little sling and he seems to like it. He has stopped crying now but still want use the arm at all. It is so sweet when he says ouch ouch mummy.

well i def fell of the wagon with a bang last night and i think my head needs a little sling. I don't know what go into to me. Oh yeah i do the bloody wine. Shall we say my H does not think i am an angel sent from heaven more from the other side today. Ah well keeps things interesting around here.

Maxy hope grandma makes you smile today.

GeekOfTheWeek · 11/06/2010 13:24

basl, I think you're an angel

Off to Joshs sports day now. Was Livs yesterday, cold and windy. At least its a bit brighter today.

I am so looking forward to my wine tonight!

5in, why does the mil irritate? Think it comes with the job description

Love the 'wine flu' It will be my new saying from now!

basl · 11/06/2010 13:50

Awww thanks geek that was so sweet. The feeling is mutual . Hope are joining in now. Do they do parents racing. I can't wait for that when Olivia goes to school. That's why i jogg so i am in training to beat the other mums covering up my ears to the wine but what out that wine flu is highly contagious.

5in mil i will be over to have a work. Can't have my friends Goat got on now. xx

5inthebackofthenet · 11/06/2010 15:51

She is just annoying to the full Geek. Everything she does grinds on me. I had finished my shopping, and stood for 10 minutes waiting for her. She didn't show, so went to o find her. She was walking backwards and forwards past the tills, as she didn;t want to go on one that someone elses shopping was already on . DH is meant to take her food shopping, but he had to do something else when he was meant to be doing it.

Basl, you are an angel.

maxybrown · 11/06/2010 16:51

Well, is it only me that is confused about Basl not being able to have her friends goat?? Have u=you been mixing with my Grandma Basl??!!

Well - I have a story for you all now - I am still at my parents house. Came over to get them milk and bread for when they return tomorrow - they had a parcel left in their little cubby hole so I had to move the bin to get it out....under the bin was a SNAKE!!!!! Aaaaarrrgghhh!! James most impressd - me not so. Anyway, had to check it was real - it is and def a snake.

Went to see the darling Grandma, came back with the milk and it is still there.....DH texts me to say it is a pet snake, try and catch it - WHAT!!??? You just need a hessian sack he says - oh yes, I keep those on my person at all times.....ok then he says, one of those tesco bags, oh right I say going along with it......then I say, hang on, what happens then? Jut put it in the house......oh my Mum will be chuffed to bits I am sure! he must be stark raving mad!! I think not says I! He said it is an american corn snake and is now on his way over.....so still no idea what we are going to do with it. I reckon it is only about 3ft maximum, possibly only 2 and they grow to 5ft so not an adult yet joy oh joy

horsemadgal · 11/06/2010 19:08

OMG maxy update update, what happened please with snake?

Lovely here today, was DS1's fete at school and old Janey from Britain's Got Talent opened it. Isn't that hilarious?

GeekOfTheWeek · 11/06/2010 19:17

Good lord maxy

Although i can cope with snakes better than i can with spiders

basl, i didn't do the mums race as I had jeans and boots on , Will start training for next year though as i am v competative.

5in, my mil a pita too. Dh can't stand her and its his mother.

maxybrown · 11/06/2010 19:31

Well, we have it here in a box at the minute Dh came and rescued us all.

My parents next door neighbour (who we all call news of the world) said he saw it on Thursday and they tried to catch it but it RAN up the drain pipe

When i see it's legs I'll give you all a shout

Basl you around? Wondered how Daniel was coming along now?

OP posts:
horsemadgal · 11/06/2010 19:43

Hope it doesnt run out of that box maxy.

basl · 11/06/2010 19:44

Ssssssssssssssssssssss sSSSSSSSSSSS it's behind you sssssssss.
Maxy Ahhh i would have RAN up the drain pipe if i saw that snake. Well done for keeping calm.
I need to explain the goat. I was trying to say to 5in i will come over and have a word with her MIL because 5in said "she really gets my goat" and i meant to say because i can't have my friends goat got. Clear as mud again a bit like the Aloe bloody Vera

HMG did you get an autograph from Janey? That's brilliant.
