The Dogmother Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I am very happy to report that having never ever been intent on marrying my own brother i wouldnt know! I should hope not! Perhaps word has got around about your Mums tests and all the local ladies are giving him a wide berth! Pam, no use to me anyway - too much hair!

hillfamily Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Does he do firefighters outfits, Em? I really dont know what he gets up to at the weekend - you will have to ask him when he is next down! Pam - please let me have a copy of the questionnaire - i am serious! The sooner my mum gets him married off the better and you are a great lady so im sure you would pass the test (s) Thanks for the compliment Em I daren't ask my mother for a copy She'll get all excited :D She phoned me last week - from Waitrose carpark- to say she had just seen what she thought was an elgible man - tall, drove a proper landrover (farmer's type not chelsea tractor type), was shopping in waitrose ( my fav food shop) and she had observed his shopping basket contents - mainly organic - sometimes there's no stopping her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 an elgible man - tall, drove a proper landrover (farmer's type not chelsea tractor type), was shopping in waitrose ( my fav food shop) and she had observed his shopping basket contents - mainly organic - sometimes there's no stopping her Sounds like quite a catch to me!!

Egluntyne Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I seem to remember that said brother looked very fetching in cycling shorts. Any update on the mischief maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well, you've certainly succeeded in making me feel better, you're all mad Have we discovered who changed the title yet? If there's one thing i don't need, it's a man. My OH is an absolute star. He came home from work early yesterday to pick up Abi from school, then spent the rest of the day fetching and carrying for me. I got some new pills from the Doc. They seem to be helping with the pain but have left me extremely dizzy and sick It's one of those days today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 What superstar OH is Helly - would you like me to change the title of the thread back? What was it? 'I need a moan'? Just say the word and 'tis done. Take care Hon and make sure that lovely OH of yours knows how super he is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Oh dear, you've all given me quite a laugh. HW I do hope that you're feeling better soon, I can't think of any practical advice I'm afraid, but I can imagine all that pain being really debilitating and depressing. I do hope that you get some help with it very soon. I'm not the editing fairy either, so I guess that doesn't help much, but I'm struggling with time management right now and am having to severely restrict my forum time just for the next couple of weeks whilst I get through a manic patch of life, so I'm not really doing much proper moderating, never mind jokey stuff.

Eyren Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hugs on the pills not entirely working out, Helly - I'm recovering from a back strain which still gives me intermittent pain in my hips and knees, so I totally empathise. And my colleague at work hasn't been able to type since March last year after she suddenly developed RSI in her wrists owing to hypermobility. Not great when you're a programmer! Luckily we have good H&S people and she's now got a funky little ergonomic mouse and speech recognition on her computer (and sits in a separate little office so we don't have to listen to her dictating all day!), though she's had to stop programming as it's next to impossible using dictation. "At-symbol ex equals at-symbol open curly brackets dollar why hyphen close angle brackets open square brackets zero close square brackets close curly brackets semi-colon." All that just to type one very short line of code - and we have hundreds of thousands of lines in our web application Nope, not gonna work!
