I know exactly how you feel 😉 but like you said....... Life is never boring.

Miss 4 will be bringing 2 chickens home from daycare next week....looking forward to the fresh eggs.

Hey Mizz...........we are moving to Metford in about three weeks. We have been offered a new home over there in the new area.


Cheers for now

Hi all,
We are trundling along here - the workload at school is immense for Mr16, he did a major project spanning 6 mths only to realise when almost finished it didn't meet the criteria - he has had to redo it differently altogether in just 2 weeks, it has been a nightmare, thank goodness for his counsellor at school negotiating changes and extensions for him. He has til Monday to complete it plus 2 other assessment items 😞

His OCD is raging - atm he cannot touch the TV remote, even using a tissue he has to scrub his hands 😞

I keep telling myself it will be worth it in 6mths when he is at uni.... but meanwhile :_|

folks, my heart goes out to all of you as you struggle through these difficult times. For some of you there really is no end in sight and it truly amazes me how well you just keep on going. In our dark and twisty days - I lived by the mantra just one minute at a time. when you got through one minute, then you thought about the next one. In the meantime ladies, keep fighting for your children, be strong for them, but remember to get support for yourselves too - If you are not strong in yourself, it makes the challenges that you are facing so much harder. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. a few minutes at a time.

evening girls :-x things have been so quiet in here lately.

Mizzy, wonderful that your buisness has taken off so well 😄 congratulations :-x

Lisa, I hope Jess is feeling a bit better now and things are going more smoothly.
My friend has a long road before being well again, she has had bad health problems for some time, which were finally almost under control, now she has cancer on top of it 😞 she has to have radiation followed by a few surgeries.. I have my fingers crossed for her, she was already so weak before this popped up :_|

Hi Kylie!

Krazy, I hope all is well in your life 🙂

Mapa, how is darcy going with his friend? I hope Nicholas has calmed down.

Rae, thats dreadful, I can only imagine Mr 16s reaction to having to start over 😞 Is the OCD raging to do with the stress from it? poor darling.

Hello to everyone else that hasnt been posting :-X

[doll*obsession]

whoa... spooky.. Hiya kylie :-x

[gshepherd510]

Morning everyone :-x


Thanks Dolly, The seizure Jess had caused some memory loss, but she is on the mend......Jess need's step by step instruction's on everything (and I mean absolutly everything :_|).

How is your friend's little girl coping Dolly? I really hope your friend responds well to radiation and surgery.

Rae :-x

Lisa, Little girl is ok, her mummy has been in and out(mostly in) hospital for the last 5 months due to the other problems, so she has sort of gotten used to it but still misses her mummy when she isnt home.
Glad Jess is on the mend, the step by step instructions sound like a PITA, hopefully she will start to remember it all soon :-x
