No you're not. It just hasn't hit you yet. I bet one day in Oz, you'll suddenly really miss her and blub - out of the blue. At the moment you're looking forward and your friend is already looking back.

Sending big huggs (((((((()))))))))

You must be so excited by now!! All the adrenalin is rushing through your body. (The Elephants) Another reason you feel a bit 'numb'. You're all ready and prepared for fight or flight. You've chosen flight. LOL.

At least you get a chance to relax a bit - it's so BORING.

I've just done a bad thing.

I taught Timber Floor Aus how to find his old threads and now he's busy digging them all up. Sorry folks.

Morning all, I was awake at 3.00 am panicking on how much we have to do, my turn to have a wobbly tummy this morning.

Your guess is as good as mine with school. In herself she is fine, but she can't walk without a walking frame, get upstairs, go to the loo etc. Today we took the bandage off as instructed and it doesn't look too bad. I just can't see how she would cope at school - they have to change classrooms all the time - up and down stairs, miles to walk every day. She can just about get to the car at the moment. I am going to phone them today and ask as she could end up having weeks off if they can't make arrangements which they should, considering the injury was caused at school because they weren't supervisng the playground properly. I am now worried about our meds in case she isn't healed properly by then.

Oh No - Poor thing

Wouldnt worry too much about the medical - when we had ours I had a ear, throat and gum infection - was awful but I rang them and explained and they said it was fine - medical went fine - I looked like cr*p and had awful breath due to my infected gum due to a wisdom tooth coming through - which then infected the rest of my head!!!!!

Stil no news on our house - same people let me down again last saturday so I am not going to get worked up now. The back of our house is a bit of a mess. The location is fab but the garage is not so good. My Dave is a builder so we had architect up on Sunday morning to look it over and he is going to get the plans in asap and we are putting a garage with another bedroom over the top. Our thinking is that for the cost it will be for Dave to do the work himself, we will achieve the 400k mark we want - if not we will prob have to drop more - plus it willthen be a 4 bedroom with a downstairs WC and a shower room and utility. We completely gutted the house and moved in on Xmas Eve last year - and have only had a couple of months off doing jobs - hey ho - here we go again.

We cant see anything happenieng till spring so hopefully will have work done - or practically done by then. Need as many pennis as poss for our new life!!!

Good Luck everyone

Thanks for the reassurance re the meds! Sounds like you weren't too good on the day! My DD is back at school today - they have organised a wheelchair for her!! (I think my little talk with the headmistress worked!)

OMG - DIY!! We considered it - we have a 3rd storey which used to be the servants quarters (!!) and is now a storage area. There is room for 2 more beds and 1 or 2 baths up there. The EAs advised us not to do the work as we wouldn't get the money back.

Hope that it works for you. Can't believe that viewer let you down AGAIN. :curse::curse::curse:

Hope the paperwork isn't too awful! Once it's done you'll feel better. (You'll start to worry about something else, but never mind. LOL)

I agree, I've had 20 years of DIY - NO MORE!! Please. (I can now see us buying a reno after I said that .......................)


Somme - hope you get some sleep. I know what it's like not being able to sleep because you are thinking about all the things you have to do. But as S Sparky, said, get some sleep when you can. Does it matter if you're packing all night and sleeping all morning? Or do you have to speak to people etc?


Good luck to everyone today!! I am tidying my house up now small child is at school and might get the least worst EA back.

PMSL. It's a man thing. My OH does too! I might consider it after a few years of living in a complete house - so long as I don't have to live in a caravan on site.
