Dumpling no more? Only the strong survive and we did no. 4

[IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without him by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong

This thread is for ex dumplings. Any dumpling that feels like she has "mostly" moved past crisis into an "almost" sorted state can post and chat here as we continue our quest for serenity with a lot of laughs along the way and support

No more 'flaky but interesting fuckwits' for me....

Hi everyone, my life has been full of horrid drama with H & divorce & DD's school this week but I am hoping that it is all ok before I post. It's like bad joss to talk about it while I'm in hope, you know what I mean? NM & I still having a go at it. Was his birthday Tuesday & he coming down. Exam time hitting us all & waiting for credit reference to see if I can get a mortgage (that's the superstitious bit). Patience, what version of windows do you have? I don't know much about computers but between the two of us myself & DS2 have been described as an "anorak" if there's no-one more knowledgeable on the thread. Is your phone ok now?

Phone screen still smashed mymble but working ,
Working with VISTA,main question is if I have very low disc space will it cause you tube videos to stop about 1 min in because it is running slow .

Patience, With Vista I would go into control panel, then under Adminstrative tools there should be a free up disk space. I'd try that removing temporary internet files recyle bin and error reports before defragmenting hard drive which is next to free up disc space in administrative tools. With newer systems you don't need to defrag nearly as often but it can't do any harm (unlike, sometimes, freeing up temporary files (as against temporary internet files) which |I'd only advise as a late resort). The problem often with defragmenting is you often have to turn off your spyware and adware for it to work properly and nowadays it doesn't save you much space. Hopefully someone else is more geeky than me if that doesn't help or can ask ds2.

Sorry, didn't answer you question before ranting on - yes it will slow down utube & any streaming.

Thanks Mymble will have a try out at football atm

anyone around for a tune later ?

Hi there. Sorry, really bad week so not been around.

Things can only get better!

XH a total tw## last weekend and DS crashed.

Only good bit was GF giving XH a telling off. Naturally he was silent.

Waves to all. Will try to get back later.

I'm lurking ladies but my home pc is unplugged as I'm still decorating my bedroom. So I'm posting from my phone. My patience doesn't stretch far posting this way, it takes too long and my phone connection is slow. So here's a wave to you all. My bedroom will be one pink dumpling room by the time I'm done Lush. Never had a pink room in my life before. Love it. Been hard labour preparing the walls, lots of late nights.

Ha ha Happy lol at their Tiff !
Walls sound good Tea ,
Googs ru around ?
Waves to everyone we are all fabulous xxxxxxxx

Ok going to find a tune or 2 .........

Hi everyone! Well, very busy knackering week here but finally left work at 5.30 tonight and came home for weekend without boys. Got loads of work to do but so lovely to be in house and have peace and quiet. Had two football sessions this week, which has been really knackering as have to leave work, cook tea, get back out of house all by 5.30 then don't get home until 7.20, then bath, homeworks, bed, so glad this week is over. Exam week next week, then I've got 3 weks to mark 180 English papers followed by writing 150 reports! Feeling quite good at moment - I'm so sorry for all dumplings who are having a hard time. I think I've finally found some calm in my life. That doesn't mean that I'm having loads of fun, just that I'm not having huge ups and downs anymore and just enjoying the little things. Played frisbee in garden for 15 mins with boys the other night and it was lush.
After tea tonight went upstairs at 7pm for little nap and woke up at 10.30!!!! Sorry I haven't posted much - still lurking. Lots of love to you all. Patience - looking forward to summer meet up with kids! x

Waves to all . Well didn't go on date last night, went shopping instead & got two fab pairs of boots on sale from 130 each to 30 . That's next winter sorted . The guy I'd got v friendly with but who I didn't think I'd fancy went all weird in a huffy type of way as I wasn't messaging him enough . While I'd been up the walls with college work I'd been messaging him at times on the side but now life is back to normal & I'm mostly out or away from computer. Anyway, closed down profile for now. The other really nice guy (nerdy type??) who I spoke to on the phone for an hr, has also closed down his profile since I gave him my phone number & I think he could be genuinely v nice. Am looking forward to meeting him now on Mon & seeing how it goes.

Happy, really sorry to hear you've had a crappy week ((Hugs))

Mumfun, sorry to hear about the expensive dental work ((Hugs)). I'm still not sure if I'm out of the woods in that dept yet either & have head firmly in sand for now as can't cope with any more problems or financial outlay on my teeth

Maybee, think it's a great idea to allow ds to go on holls. I know you had posted previously about how much ds had suffered over separation so hopefully this will really help him adjust. It will give him some great memories too.

Patience, great to hear all is well

Mymy, sorry to hear you've had horrid drama this week, hope things settle down for you & that mortgage application goes well.

Tea, happy painting, great achievement & you'll get so much pleasure from your results

Which reminds me my father has been working on my garden & power washing for past few weeks & place is looking fab . Had a friend over tonight & she noticed it straight away . Have even bought a few more plants which I'm going to plant tomorrow now that all the hard work is done

Goo, glad to hear you're feeling better & great that you had such a long nap. I find it hard work juggling my dc's & activities etc, never mind a job into the mix! Hats off to you.....

Hellooooo there dumplings. Ashamed to say I haven't even been lurking for a few days as real life keeps getting in the way. Feeling so laid back it's not true. Largely because I'm having a wild fling with a tattooed builder . Of course, it is all in the name of my continued detachment from xp. And if you believe that you'll believe anything but that is a very welcome side effect so it's a win/win situation. I know it won't last so I'm going all out for as much FUN as possible, bit like a holiday romance, I suppose.
Right, I'll away and try to catch up.

Wild fling? Tattooed builder? Sounds like bliss! Good on ya girl! :)

Enjoy urself Elsie big hugs x

Ok - trying not to feel guilty cos done no work today. Instead I've had a fecepack, shaved and plucked everywhere, done my toenails and gone into town and spent my christmas vouchers on 2 pairs of jeans. Gone up to size 10, which is good, cos I look a lot less haggard nowadays.
BTW girls, if you go onto youtube and type in "drummerboyful" you can see drummer man in all his glory. My, is he one yummy customer. Feedback appreciated! x

Here we go again eh !
quarter to 10 pm and no word from X re tomorrows visit .

2 little kids in bed sleeping x

Watching the big weekend from Carlisle on BBC 3 x

Oh Patience - was jsut wondering whether dad of the year had been in touch and thinking he probably hadn't. Is Big Weekend any good? My parents have just driven through Gloucestershire on way home from Cornwall lol x

My spelling on here is shite. Promise it's better at school!

Yep Foo Fighters doin a mega set just now x

Hi all

Elsie - you go girl! More gory details please!

Tea - sounds fab. Do want to redo soft furnishings in my bedroom as would make such a difference

Patience -so sorry.

Starting glad you got great bargain boots. And garden looking good. Seems also you have a few date possibilities so hope you can have a bit of fun with that. You deserve it

H being completely unreasonable arse at present. Not good. Really crashed last night as forgot that upset over situation and PMT are fatal mix. Thank goodness came today and back on the level again. Feel a few tough months ahead unfortunately :(

Goo sorry left you out . Not the most together at mo. HUgs x
