Hopefully it is just a passing phase with Jess and she soon grows out of it.
Well, Jess got in the car when Si picked her up from college, said she wanted to get me some flowers..
Hooray! Long may it last!

Wowzers. Are you sure he brought the right girl home? Lol
Let's hope it's not Deadly Nightshade!!(giggle) Sixteen is a funny age with a girl/woman...hormonally they're women, but because of their age they're still regarded as kids! " It's either..."Just remember! You're still a kid!"......or.."You're not a kid anymore..grow up!".....They're supposed to know what they want to do after school....but they're only 16! I hadn't a clue. You might be more alike than you think...hence the clash. They grow out of it. Or as a friend of my mum's used to say. "oh..it's just a phrase!"
Wowzers. Are you sure he brought the right girl home? Lol
(rofl)
No, Flo, Jess and I are very, very different ;). This is the kid that once told me we ‘had nothing in common and don’t really like each other’. Anyway, she’s been chatting to me most of the evening while she plays with her new iPhone. I really hope she’s learning .....
Hope that it continues for a very long time...
I have just discovered Kitten TV on Amazon Prime. Put a dozen kittens on a set with a ton of cat toys/boxes, press record and enjoy. Inspired! :)
Geez, it’s been such a struggle this week, not helped by still not caught up on spoons from Sunday. I’ve had a pedicure today and had to catch myself cos all I was doing was griping. I’m going to suggest a trip to the cinema with Si and go from there, I think

If you need to gripe then gripe. It's better getting it all out then sitting and stewing on things.
(bear) Sweetheart you do what you need to do to get through. But FFS rest woman!
I was going to then got caught up in some emails re the charity (as expected, I’m not popular in some quarters lol) but I’m logging out of that email account and going to veg, lay like broccoli etc ;)
Hope your resting hunni x

Morning Paula......everything ok?
Yeah, fine thanks. We’ve got snow flurries - so I’m sulking as I hate snow. Si’s playing golf, rather him than me lol
Golf? In the snow? Hope the snow's coming down fast so he can't find the ball! (rofl)(rofl)(rofl)

Don't golfers who play in the the snow have orange balls or should that be blue (giggle)
Same here Paula snow is ok for kids but not good when you're an adult unless you like playing golf in the snow ;)
Snow is horrible here my car was more sideways than straight.
Crikey Angie! at least you got home ok. But I know you are somewhat of a petrol head so I expect you're a very good driver.....I can picture you driving in a rally somewhere in the Alps! Hope you don't have to move far today.
If my memory serves me right I think that golf balls are luminous orange in snow....having said that, who would play in the snow? The ball wouldn't roll properly would it?
Stay safe Angie..
Paula - how does one play golf in the snow? Are Si's balls orange? (think)
I have no idea - Si learnt a long time ago that I switch off when the word is mentioned lol.
Katie’s supposed to be going to Paris with her boyfriend tomorrow morning - at the moment her flights still on ...... the snows deeper here than the last lot!

The snow's melting quickly here oop north it sounds like it's worse where you are.
Have you sent Si out to play with his orange balls in the snow? So you can have a peaceful day watching movies ;)
Lol Flo my car was more sideways than straight took over an hour to do a 5 min journey
Snow's not too bad here, My Mum has loads more than we do.
Its clear on the main roads here buses are just using main roads, side roads are passable but we are supposed to get more, hows your day so far Paula ?
Stressful - one of my fellow trustees is trying to bully me. I told you I wasn’t going to be popular with my report lol. The vice chair has just told her it’s not her department and not for her input (giggle). Fortunately, I’m a lot tougher than she thinks

You're one of the strongest people I know Paula, I'd hate to be the trustee who was trying to bully you because I'm sure you'll give her a good handbagging if she steps out of line. ;)

She wouldn't risk ruining her handbag (giggle)
Oh no! I hope you've told them to F off!! I assume this is the first time they've had dealings with you so don't have any idea what they are letting themselves in for? I certainly wouldn't mess with you!
Subtly, yes of course ;). The other trustees took my keeping quiet at first as me being shy, I think they’re starting to realise that’s not the case
Katie’s off to Paris in the early hours with her boyfriend. I’m trying very hard to be calm - there’s snow out and I’m terrified of flying so I’m always stressed when someone I love is in the air.
Oh hunni, she will be ok but I know it won't stop you worrying, can you find something to keep you occupied?
Is she going to text you when she gets there?
She landed about 8am. Everything was absolutely fine. Jess is seriously annoyed as her college isnt closed today and Si took her in so she couldn’t claim the buses weren’t running (giggle).
Glad that you have heard from Katie hunni as at least it helps put your mind at rest, opps bless Jess but that did make me (giggle)
Lol @ Jess! We were hoping for snow weeks!
Glad that Katie has let you know that they are there and happy.

Jess should revel in going to college rather than staying at home making snowmen (giggle)
Nice one Si preempting the "buses aren't running" gambit.
I remember walking a mile or more to school knee deep in snow, I miss those good ol' days, NOT (giggle)
Ok ta. Did some work this morning, did some cross stitch this afternoon, watched Viceroys House (very traumatic), FaceTimed mum:)
Film sounds brilliant! What cross stitch are you doing? I spend some time cross stitching too!
This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dimensions-Twilight-Silhouette-Counted-Multi-Colour/dp/B009MHIN92

Board meeting this morning and my hand is on fire :(. Not great timing. Still, I’m timekeeping for the meeting so can make sure we don’t run over and I can come home and climb under the duvet ......

The board meeting was horrible. I’m afraid I lost my temper....... all the work and hours I put into my recent report and one particular trustee went behind my back to the county council to check my facts. She’s not even involved in this part of running the charity, at all and she’s out to undermine me at every turn. I was shaking I was so angry

23-03-18, 09:07 AM
So it is officially 'feet up Friday' I'll go with that, here's to some leisurely cross stitch and watching stuff on TV ;)
I’ve been to see my friends new house today. Definitely showed my age as I drooled over her massive drive (double garage and space for 4 additional cars!)
Has she bought a mansion? (rofl)(rofl)
(giggle)
Katie’s been out looking at cars today. I remember my first car costing a couple of hundred quid, clapped out and with a manual choke! She’s looking at getting a new or nearly new fiesta. How times have changed ;)
I’m still a bit on edge after the meeting on Thursday but I’ve been getting encouraging emails all day from the vice chair. I want to stick this out because I genuinely believe I can make a difference but I think it’s going to be rough going for a while. I’m going to need all the encouragement I can get ......
I loved my first car! It was an old metro in poop colour brown, manual choke, shook when it got to 60 but I adored her! I was devastated when I came out of halls to find that someone had smashed into her and there were bits of her all over the road. I had to get the uni's security guards to deal with it... That car cost me £180!
You have my complete faith and encouragement. I know you can do this and you didn't step up to be dead weight, you knew it wasn't going to be easy......

I'm sure that if anyone's capable of doing that job you are! You help to change lives here so you're well qualified on that score. You can't concentrate if you're bleary eyed so give the brain a rest for today...it's this damned hour forward bit again!
My first car was a DAF....it was like an automatic but it ran on a system like a very large rubber band going up and down something! When I went back to Scotland in 2003 I bought myself a Celica. I took it into Inverness for the first time and when I got back to the car park some low life had stuck a sucked Werthers Original on the bonnet!! :@
My first car was a Cavalier, Paula you can do this but I know it will be tiring for you so glad that your pacing today xx

Oooh Paula!!! Considering learning how to cross stitch. Where would be a good place to start?
Bothy Threads do some lovely beginner kits. Most kits will have the chart, fabric, needles and thread so the only thing you’ll need on top of that is a frame (I used to prefer a 7 inch hoop before I had to do it one handed and I found wooden were easier than plastic). Go with something that’s got lots of space (ie not every bit of Aida fabric is covered in stitches) and that has contrasting colours - so it’s easier to see where you’re going itms
Jaquaia
25-03-18, 03:45 PM
Thanks lovely. I will have a look!
I love cross stitching too - it'll be awesome if you get hooked too Jaq!
Paula - a rest day? seriously? You're pacing? Blimey! Go you!

How are you today gorgeous?
Fine, I’ve been working this morning and a friend is coming over this afternoon. I’ve got a meeting with the chair and vice chair tomorrow to talk about the AGM so I’ll have to have a read through docs later
Good luck with your meeting tomorrow Paula!
Hope that your at least pacing hunni x
Have you rested at all?
Not so much, I’ve just finished jotting down some notes for a piece I need to write for the annual report.
Can you please try and rest now x

Can you rest over the easter weekend?
Did you know Jess had missed lessons?
Sorry you have had a difficult evening.. What's on the agenda for tomorrow?
OOOO bracelet? What's it like?
We get a text if they miss lessons, but she managed to lie her way around them. She’s missed 3 lessons in 2 days.
I’m going to finish tomorrow and do nothing for 4 days .......
(Oh, and bracelet is a dainty tennis bracelet, very pretty :))
I love tennise bracelets glad your resting for a few days sweetie and hope your sorted with Jess
Does she have reasons for missing those lessons?
Plan for today?
Jess’s reasons are ‘she hates college and can’t be bothered’. Si told her to leave and get a job then. I asked if she’s got problems but she says not, I asked about friendships as she’s at home most of the time - she says that she’s tired after college. We know though, her sleep patterns are horrendous. She complained about getting the bus, we told her to get over it.
I’m afraid we weren’t sympathetic. She’s just being lazy and stroppy. I did tell her I was angry she lied to me about it all. And Si has told her he’s really disappointed that she didnt stick to the agreement they’d made about making every lesson this term.
I’m interviewing someone at 3.30 today but not planning on doing much else. I’m just so exhausted.
Jaquaia
29-03-18, 10:44 AM

The interview went very well, thankfully, but I’m so exhausted and wound up I can barely focus. I’m just glad this last 7 days are over itms
Maybe college isn't everything she thought it was going to be!

I’ve been trying to read a book but keep dozing off and having to reread the same page. I think I need to go to bed - Night all
Go to bed get some sleep then rest and pace as there are plenty of kippers at the ready and I have two and a half days off, though tomorrow night I do not plan on being sober enough to remember
Did you sleep well? Are you resting today?
I slept ok. I’ve had a manicure this morning but the rest of the day is free for resting ;)

The aida
https://www.dropbox.com/s/f3njd9ska7xqea3/20180331_200123.jpg?dl=0
Once you get into the swing of things, it should be doable for you. Try not to look at the whole picture at once - once you’ve found the middle of the Aida and the middle of the diagram, just focus on an inch square of the diagram at any one time. One tip that I don’t do but know it helps a lot of people is to mark each stitch on the diagram, once you’ve stitched it, in yellow highlighter pens. That way you know what you’ve already done

Maybe change the viewing? (bear)
OMG, Katie has just told me she got in from her night out at 6 this morning! And she still looks fresh as a daisy!
In other news, we’ve had a mortgage ‘agreement in principle’ from the bank. One step closer to moving house
OO have you found somewhere you want to buy? Are you staying in the same area? Bungalow?
Katie is a cow bag! I remember nights like that, but don't think I ever looked awesome.
Oh I know, it’s not fair! If i didn’t love her to bits I’d slap her lol
As for the house, we’re going to get it on the market and sold before we look - apparently now you won’t be able to offer on anything if you’re not in a position to move, so I don’t want to fall in love with something only to not be able to offer on it itms
Makes sense. How are you feeling about the prospect of a move?
I’m trying to,get excited about it
I know that you'll find somewhere perfect when you are ready x
Oooh! a house move? how exciting. Are properties moving quickly where you are? Our neighbours with the 'orrible cat put theirs on 3 weeks ago, and within 2 days sold it! A local young guy has bought it...he hasn't got a cat either!(party)
Properties are moving, yes. Where we are is a bit of a hotspot at the moment. I’ve just told Si we need to pull the plaster off the wound quickly as I really don’t want to move but we have to.
Can you see it as a positive? I know it'll be hard, but you could get a house you love even more.....
I’m trying although I think it’s less about finding a house we love and more about being forced to move itms. I’m pigheaded like that, I don’t like decisions being taken out of my control
OldMike

Hope you find a nice place :)
We’ll be staying in the same town. All my support is here, I love my home town and, also, dragging teenagers away from their friends is a recipe for disaster ;)
Good morning Paula....I agree with you regarding the kids and moving. That's why Zoe wouldn't move down here. The kids have their friends and are secure. Like you say, it could be a recipe for disaster! If it ain't broke, don't mend it. Hope you have a good day.
I'm sure you will find something you love hunni and you can alway make it your own aswell
Morning gorgeous! Are you resting today?
I’m seeing my curate later and I need to answer a few emails but otherwise, yes
Glad you are seeing your curate - I know it's important to you.
Much rest please love x
Haha that didn’t happen. I got a text ‘have you read the Chair’s email?’ Which I hadn’t because he sent it to my old email address, again. And meant I had work to do. I’m a bit hacked off tbh because he’s expecting me to have magically sorted out the department after just 10 weeks in the role - when the management of the dept to date has been non existent.
Still, had a wonderful bible study with my curate - I actually cried with joy :)
So glad you had a lovely time with your curate.
Sorry you didn't get any rest though, can you plan it in for tomorrow?
Yes I can! I’m completely on my own tomorrow - Jess is having her Mercedes Benz driving experience :)

That’s where she’s going :)
Yes, I plan on resting tomorrow ... MB World? That's about 15 mins from my house!! :)
Sorry you're in pain today lovely...
I thought it may be close - I’ll get her to drop in lol
Yeah you should do ;) Actually MB World is cool - we've often taken the kids as they let you get in the cars and play with buttons and everything! It's great for a couple of hours and you can watch people go round the test track and the skid pan! It's great!
Wow, what an experience! Ian says that Brooklands is a very hard track to drive around......I bet Jess's adrenaline was pumping big time. Hope your hands feel a bit better tomorrow love. It sounds really painful!(bear)
Jess had a fab time and the instructor told her she was a ‘natural’ which is good as she’s 17 next month lol.
I’ve done almost nothing today but am still tired. 5ks resting lark doesn’t seem to work ;)
Next time any of you are near Brooklands come and say hello! Kettle's almost always on and you'll always get a warm reception!
Glad she had a great time!
So, more resting tomorrow?
Looks like it - my hands completely out of action atm

You could be a willow all flexible and bendy :)
Which poses the question if you were a tree what wood ;) you be?
I'd be a mature robinia frisia (hope I spelled it correctly), golden leaves a fluttering in the wind (giggle)
Hope your day has gone well lovely x
I’ve slept for a lot of it lol.
Good, you obviously needed it..

How are you feeling now?
I’m ok though my hands not great and the ball of my foot has flared (I know, a stupidly over specific place to flare)

I don’t normally struggle with sleep tbh, I just need extra at the moment for some reason. Hey ho
I’ve had a horrible couple of hours. My IIH went into overdrive - I was so dizzy I had to get Si to help my down the stairs to go to the bathroom, I’ve got earache and a headache and feeling very sick. I’ve only just been able to lift my head off the back of the sofa. Tomorrow, I’m chasing up my lumbar puncture
