Maybe we are shortlisted for the big prize. 1st prize is a signed Lewis Hamilton seat belt from his F1 car.. runner up gets a Mercedes F1 bag signed by Lewis Hamilton.. either way I am super happy

How cool is that ... congratulations :D http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ers-150476.gif

Brilliant Shiv. Well done indeed.

I would do a little smilie or something here but my IPad seems averse to them at the moment for some reason.

Congrats Shiv, that is sooooo cool! xx

Every year when its Eid and end of ramadan my road gets blocked up with cars blasting out asian music into the early hours. Plus road rage as its a one way system and all roads get gridlocked. They are out there right now really anti social behaviour So no chance of sleeping. At least i dont have to get up at 2am anymore and can eat anything i want when i want. ....until next year.

Aww...that's lovely. Well done to your daughter! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ing-176278.gif

Thank you

A man broke into my 91 year old neighbours house last noght pushing her into the ground and he went into her living took her handbag and ran out.
He had pretended to be a police officer. She was lying down for an hour before police were called. Her handbag had her mothers engagement ring in it and a book with all her contacts etc. i had to cancel her card as police and ambulance saod they are not allowed to. She has been living in this house since she was 7 years old. With her injuries she cannot walk so they had to take her to the hospital. Her bathroom is upstairs and she cannot get upstairs now.

I am so sorry about your neighbour, why are there so many scumbags around going thieving and hurting other people, I just don´t get it. I hope they catch whoever did this but that is probably unlikely.:angry:
I hope your neighbour makes a speedy recovery but she might not want to move back into the house now :(

I can't focus at work feel very tearful at my desk. still in shock. Plus two Eastern European men came into my back garden at 6.30am in the morning ransacking a black bin bag i left overnight. I had a bag of clothes and they were scattered around my garden. I thought it was a fox until my neighbour said it was people. They were talking loudly without a care in the world. They would have had to come over other gardens to get to mine.

Thats really really terrible. Once someones
peace of mind has been destroyed it takes
a lot to recover.If she wants to return there
I hope the house can be adapted -if at all
possible.
Creatures who do.things like thst cant be
called human!!
Your neighbour must be strong - willed to
have lived to such a good age on her own.
I do hope she can recover.

She is very lucky to have you as a neighbour
- and Im sure she knows that.!!

I'm sorry to hear you and your neighbour are having such a terrible day Swmc66. :(

I hope you'll feel better after a night's sleep. What happened to your neighbour, and realising there were men in your garden, must have been extremely stressful - so take care of yourself. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...hug-774146.gif

Thank you everyone I came home early as was so tired was falling asleep at work. Everyone is shocked on our street by what happened and police have been door knocking all morning to try and catch whoever did this. My husband thinks its the people who came in my back garden he thinks they came to annoy me as i was in and out of her house with the police until early hours. He thinks they were watching the house. I am worried they have her keys and could come back. None of our neighbours came out despite there being two police cars and two ambulances until 2am and lots of disturbance. I think we live in a fearful society

Thanks for letting us know your neighbour's out of hospital. I hope she isn't scared to be home after her awful ordeal. I don't see how she could not be though. :(

How are you feeling now?

Got put on the cancer pathway for the second time in months. They tried to give me the same consultant that told me I had an imaginary illness in 2008 when i had thyroid cancer. So instead of a two week fast tracking thing i have a month wait. I have been ignoring a lump in my neck for months as I have had one health scare after another and i could'nt face it. I managed to face it the next day after my daughters graduation as i felt so happy. So next week i will have my appointments and know. My health has been up and down after my NHS whistleblowing. Whats strange is people saying I have never looked better ( i am making more of an effort somehow). On top of that the NHS are pulling a second contract from me as punishment for whistleblowing but i cannot do anything about it as they are saying they are 'remodelling' their services. So they will get away with that one. Just worried about some members of my team now andof course myself if this carries on. On a good note my 16 year old is going on National Citizen Service next week so i have enjoyed getting him ready for that. Left work early yesterday and just focused on my son.

Dear swmc

So sorry to hear about yet another cancer scare, as well as all your other troubles Swmc. :(

I hope your consultant's more supportive this time. I've had experience of dismissive doctors so I know how awful that feels. At least our family's bringing you lots of happiness at the moment, but MaidMarian's right that you need to put yourself first for once.

My thoughts are with you xxx

I concur with MM and Dazzle ... hugs xxx

Thank you everyone for all your support xx

smw....hugs and healing prayers are winging their way to you from me. Fingers crossed for a good outcome ♥

Thank you. I am having my third scan this week and a biopsy so hopefully I will know soon. Thanks for remembering x

Hope it all goes well. I'll be thinking of you. x

Thank you all for your kind messages ... makes me feel a lot better x

Sorry for lack of posting... was away for a week in south of France.. Beautiful place but they haven't a clue how to drive. Very long car journey (15 hours). Went through Switzerland and as the tunnel was blocked, took a trip over the alps... Hard getting up there but the drive down was worth it. Very expensive on tolls in Swiss, Italy and France. Guess I am just blessed we don't have that in Germany. For a country I would generally associate with snow, Switzerland was up to 42 degrees. Of course the Italians built their toll booth at the end of a very long tunnel so was sitting in that for over an hour and outside got up to 50 degrees as there is no air conditioning in the tunnel. Over all it was amazing. Got to do a lap of the Monaco race track which was a big dream of mine. Cannes is stunning. St. Tropez is lovely too but was expecting it to be more glamorous. Of course come back to a wet germany for the next few days but it doesn't matter.. I am finally home where driving the roads are free and the people are a lot more disciplined.

Sounds like you had an amazing time Siobhan. :thumbsup:

Sad news, The Emmerdale actress Kitty McGeever, who played character Lizzie Lakely, has died, aged 48. She was the first blind actress to be cast as a regular in a UK soap. Passed away 2 days ago, I think she left Emmerdale because of ill health R.I.P.
