izzyizin haha, it was funny the machine was still on when the police turned in and the moment they knocked at his door, he switched it off and simply refused to admit the machine was on Smile. The police man told me later while they were standing at the door, the machine flushed out water. After he received a verbal warning, he never turned on machine at night Smile.

I know this is an old thread, but I can't sleep because I'm worried about court with my x next week. I remembered something i forgot to include in my affadavit, but it will show up on my bank statement and i'm worried about how that will look/and what his side will make of it. totally stressed here. just had two chocolate biscuits and a bag of crisps too, after eating really sensibly all day. so annoyed with myself for several reasons.

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 01:51

Old thread, Merlot? By my reckoning it's only 3 days old Hmm

Do you reckon your ex's side will necessarily pick up on your oversight - for that what it is and we all make them.

Hello nightbirds. Washing machines after midnight on a party wall... Oughter be illegal!

izzy .. that knee was very sudden onset for you. Your description of the black and decker wielding, rugby playing, gung ho ortho surgeon sounded very, very familiar... Shock Grin. Still, he did a good job. Surgeon no 2 for knee no 2 was more subtle, and rather easy on the eye I'm told Wink

I hope you feel ok to go ahead soon.. Will be thinking of you.

Who mentioned chocolate biscuits.... nooo I must try to sleep

MerlotAndMe · 30/01/2013 02:04

Sorry! i'm glad there's somebody else up. maybe they won't pick up on it. I'm trying to decide whether to go all rinkydink with my bank statements or to shoot myself in the foot and declare what I forgot. oh decisions decisions and none of them stressfree.

If i'm grilled up in the box, I can honestly swear under oath that I forgot, cos i did. but still. I can't sleep. ARHGHG

SummerDad · 30/01/2013 02:21

MerlotAndMe I am not an authority on these issues but what you have said makes perfect sense. I won't be worrying about this much, but that's me Grin.

Hello night birds, I was woken by the sound of my cat pooing noisily on my pink cardigan. Cardigan in bin and cat outside. Cant get back to sleep now after that flurry of activity

starsandunicorns · 30/01/2013 02:40

starsandunicorns · 30/01/2013 02:42

Oh foofoo hope it wasnt your fav one my old cat used to attack my toes at 3 am

janji · 30/01/2013 02:44

A cough and very wheezy chest that won't go away (had for over a month now). Posted in health but no replies!Hmm Hate going to doctors but think I'm going to have to?

foofooyeah · 30/01/2013 02:46

stars - work situation sounds a bit grim.
It was a fave but is now very old and a bit too toght so not a major loss.
Cat will be put in sun room from now on at night.

ladyWordy · 30/01/2013 02:50

Eww, foofoo, your kitty gives very clear opinions...

Hope you feel better soon stars.. and you janji. Yes, a month long wheezy chest that isn't improving is worth a doc visit. I used to find wheezy coughs get worse at sundown, worst of all in the night. Much sympathy.

starsandunicorns · 30/01/2013 02:58

Night coughing is the worst jan hope you feel better soon. Jan feb march are always a bit slack so used to being on poor week rations. Just get the feeling the angency are pushing people out sigh have applied for four jobs in last ten days heres hoping. Been doing angency for two yrs nearly just sick of it now.

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 03:03

The speed with which I was afflicted was shocking, Wordy. I was walking along one morning and I suddenly couldn't walk, and my right knee felt like it was on fire.

Of course, being me, I pretended it wasn't happening convinced myself it would get better with a bit of rest and carried on as per normal - or as normal as it's possible to be hopping on one leg like Dudley Moore auditioning to be Tarzan in the 'One Leg Too Few' sketch. Grin I even got myself a flowery walking stick to help take the weight off the knee. ]

But Cafecito and yourself have given me an idea. I smashed an arm up while on the piste and had a delightful dalliance with it pinned by a charming surgeon.

Not one stitch or staple was used to repair the damage with the result that, other than a few little pinhead size marks whch only show on my arm after I've tanned, there's no visible scars of the zip variety.

I'm so vain wondering if I should go get a consult at an alpine hospital, although it will be little short of torture for me to be anywhere near a ski slope and be unable to indulge.

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 03:06

There went my resolution not to bang on about my admission to the walking wounded club.

With all the ailments on parade, joining this thread is a tad like walking on to a night ward 'in a hospital near you' Grin

starsandunicorns · 30/01/2013 03:13

Smiling at that izzy now i want to know what type of stick you have havent done skiing since in the army hope u get sorted soon :) my condine has kicked in for my bad back so its down to a dull ache

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 03:22

My faux Cath Kidston style fold up number was an eBay purchase as I can't walk round the bloody shops, stars, but I've moved right along since I bought it.

I'm now on sodding metal crutches of the bog-standard variety and wondering what colour metallic paint to buy to turn them into something a tad more cheerful.

starsandunicorns · 30/01/2013 03:29

Awe bless you izzy i hate those crutches most definaliy need to spray them a fab colour. My dd1 had them when she had a op she used nail varish :) my sister has a fab folding out stick when out and about ( just found out she has ms)

cafecito · 30/01/2013 03:57

*checking in Smile hello all

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 03:59

Nail polish? These big beasts will use up my entire OPI collection and then some, stars.

I'm off to see if jolly carbon steel numbers exist. If not, maybe I can adapt my ski poles Smile

QueenGwen · 30/01/2013 04:22

4am and I'm reading mn threads instead of a. Doing some of the work I am now a week behind deadline on, b. Apply for a job that might mean I don't have to work until 4am just to get everything done and justify my employment, c. Making a decision on whether or not to push back court hearing with ex who wants to carry on twatting about with mediation because causing pain is the only way he can continue to control mine and my ds' lives. It gets better than this right?!

jynier · 30/01/2013 04:28

Anyone still up? Hi! Can't decide if it's best to get into bed, although not feeling tired, or whether it would better to stay awake all night in the hope that I'll sleep tomorrow night (which is today really!).

izzyizin · 30/01/2013 04:31

Wow. There's a whole world of surgical appliances crutches out there, and I'm rather taken with a rather fetching purple pair but, as they're sold singly, I'm wondering whether one purple and one red may be more 'me'?

There doesn't appear to be any in my favourite yellow but i haven't finished trawling yet.
