I would love to go to the meet with you all but I only have a few hours each day that I'm not looking after my son.

Hi Pauline

Think we are just having a moan, or practising for a women only quizz lol

It's betamale who is the bane of my life at the moment, although OH has been known to get an earful. BM was saying he didn't know how to even attempt certain DIY chores. OH offered to show him next weekend, but, oh no, he has 'found' somewhere he needs to be. Grrrr.

We had thought that might be the case. Although we would probably prefer a weekday, would you be able to get away on a Saturday if his father could take over the careing duties?

Weekends are worse DET, I don't have any free time at all. My hubby works 7 days a week (12 hours a day) and my son's father lives in Kent.


Edit: Obviously my hubby gets holidays but I always feel it would be unfair for him to spend his free time trying to cope with my son on his own.

pauline where could you get to ?YG and I met in York last year i know its not all of us but we are nearer you I think ..Darlington is quite good up hear too
the cheapest i have found is 100 quid for me return so i may have to wait until october

I'm off to the shops now..........that's about as far as I get...lol

Maz, even if I go to see my brother in Seaham I'm a nervous wreck in case I get called back.

Never mind, I'll just read about the meets instead.

Oh, I clicked submit and all the writing went big.

Oh Pauline that is a shame. I would have loved to meet you.

creeps in yes!!!!! think thats it maybe some touching up but now i have the cleaning lol and i need to look for a stair carpet but i feel as if i am getting there .
Pauline perhaps we can meet for lunch one day seaham is not far where do you get to ? i can get into Durham
Easter bunny is near you too I have met her she is lovely
when i have an empty house you can all visit for a weekend and watch the firemen across the way

My little white envelope next to the messages isn't working!!!!!
Sorry to those who pm'd me earlier. I wasn't being rude and ignoring you. Blame it on GR.

I'm upright - yay!! We celebrated by going out for lunch - bread, roasted camembert cheese and coffee, while sitting in the sunshine. Don't really think Maz would want ALL of us to turn up on her doorstep at once.......would she? You might live to regret those words lol

lol it would be fun lol my house aint empty yet lol
its been sunny while I have been in the house now i have finished its cold and wet just ordered a carpet for the stairs which arives on saturday morning

S*d's law about the weather - but at least you'll be able to stand back and say....'I done that'.

Well done that woman!

lol DET my legs and knees are testimony to the work lol it is quiet here tonight

I'm here Maz!! Am keeping a low profile because my eyes are really tired with being on the computer all day every day and all evening too!! I'm trying to leave the Mahjong alone too!!

Evening one and all. Well done Maz you must be ready to start mine now LOL. Just been informed by housing association that they are ripping out the whole bathroom in about 2 weeks oh Joy !!!

Pauline. Have you considered respite care for your son. Surely you lot have some system where an trained carer comes into your house to assist while you go do something else for the day.

I'm not advocating for a three week holiday in the West Indies, just for the day. You deserve some time to yourself no matter how selfish you might think it is. Ask at your local Council and see what's on offer.

Oh ho I see what is happening here. Be careful Maz. The Nut Lodge inspection team is on its way. Hey Maz, you missed a bit over here. Look Maz this flower is not the same height as that one. Oh no the paint strokes on the second stair are going the wrong way.

I'd be for getting far awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay from the house and having a relaxing day tramping for miles around the shopping centres, fire stations and zoo of the whatever named city.

DET I have emailed GR again about the envelope. Mine is now there when I don't have messages.
LG I have a porta pottie you could borrow. Emptying it is a real challenge.

OH has just taken Spot for his walk. Yaaaay!!
I have my inquisition at work today. If you hear on the news AuntyS slashes wrists you will know I've done badly!!!

I'm in charge of measuring the flowers!! No more than 1mm difference allowed between them!! Will also be looking for any wallpaper that is on upside down lol!!

That's if I'm not too distracted by the firemen!

LOL YG. We will have to hose you down if you get all steamed up about firemen again.

Didn't you have your inquisition a couple of weeks ago, or was that a different emphasis?

Ooooo - is that a bubble in the wallpaper???

Lovely new barhroom - lucky you! Hope aunty has emptied the porta-loo before she catapults it over lol

lol morning I am inspecting this morning when the carpet is lifted thursday i am going to finish the bits i missed then .as the new one is getting fitted saturday today i am washing walls in naomis room and curtains etc Although I am not too bothered how much i dont do today cos I am tired and very achey
Pauline do you have to pay if you choose or are awarded
respite care ,it can be expensive my friends daughter goes and she has timesheets and all sorts to fill in when her forms go in .she goes in respite sometimes mainly for holidays
there is no flowers to measure .the paint misses well possible lol but you will be given a bl @@@@@ paintbrush lol
porta loo yuk larger cowpats than normal then lol
