    Sending you virtual hugs {{{{{{{}}}}}}}

    I've put the laundry out but need to keep an eye on the weather as rain is coming in, stuck another load on so hoping this will dry, most is t shirts that are thin so hopefully.

    Hubby came back a short while ago with some milk so I don't have to rush out. Just sold something on the bay so need to post that, got a good price for it, almost what I paid for it new, bonus,

    We recently had a selling spree on the bay, mainly old clothes. Didn't get much for individual items but in total we made over £70 which is better than nothing, and frees up some space in the house! Went straight into the wedding fund.

    Good luck Becci. Could you try swimming as an alternative form of exercise? The water supports your weight so it's really good for anything where high impact isn't an option.

    Emily that's so unfair. She's obviously a spoilt brat. Maybe her parents wanted a girl hence they treat her better than your OH. Or do they just not agree with young couples living with parents? Is living with your family an option?

    That's what I did when planning the wedding as well Flossie, I sold an old phone on there which I got over £100 for so that was a great help along with other things. I'm trying to get a good amount on my p@yp@l account so I can use that for Xmas gifts, I did it one year where I had over £70 in there so used it for gifts on b00t$ site,

    Emma I do hope things work out. I hate it when children become a weapon, instead of being allowed to maintain an equal relationship with both parents. I've seen a couple of situations where the child has been made to suffer. It's different if one parent was abusive, but if they have just split due to differences that can't be resolved there is no reason to keep the children away from one parent.

    We made about £200 earlier this year on the bay, MIL cleared out her shed which was full of almost brand new camping gear and said we could sell it all and put it towards the wedding. Was surprised how quickly everything sold. Always putting bits and bobs on there when I have no use for them anymore.

    Thanks EC.... It has been 18months now that OH and I have been together and she should have gotten over it by now.

    The problem is that the system allows mothers to have far more say than sometimes required. I have said it before that in some situations, this level of protection is required wether it be mother or father however where it is clear that LO is in no danger, like our situation, she should be reprimanded for her behaviour and lack of cooperation!!

    Off subject slightlty, but i have just discovered that my works 50th Anniversary is the same date as our wedding!!! 30/07/2016

    YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!

    If I think they are good stuff and will sell I normally do that, otherwise they go to the charity shop, I currently have a huge bag of stuff but waiting for one of those charity bags to come through the door.

    Popped out, rain had stopped, went in post office, then popped in the shop and it was tipping down when I left!

    Hope today goes well for you Becci - think it's the interview? Good luck.

    Elinor - what a horrid and scary experience for you. I guess you can't really comprehend what you would do until you're in that position.

    I can identify with the poem!

    Hope everybodies day is going okay. Just turned very grey here in Brighton - I need to pop out and get some lunch and petrol as didn't bring anything with me today, but too cold to go out and I know I will have to park miles away if I go out as parking spaces are at a premium. Looking forward to just getting home in all honesty - been a rubbish day at work and since I didn't get the funding to do the course I've lost all enthusiasm.Going to have a long chat with OH tonight - feel a bit trapped as we want to start a family straight away and need to consider maternity pay.

    It must really taking some getting used to working night shifts. I work Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and that's all I have ever known, not sure how I would deal with nights. I suppose it's one of those things that you get used to if you do them though, despite it making you tired, no matter how used to them you are.
