Cookie monster, we spoke on the other thread but I just have one more suggestion to make - lets not make racist remarks - white on black/black on white or any other colour again on the threads.

Warrior Mum and Jacques - Hi how the two of you doing? Welcome to the new thread. The Random thread was a bit of a problem eh! Any posts we can post to either thread but Random may be shut down.

Hi Worrior Mum, Sorry I have been hectic at work. Have had to work overtime since Sunday evening. Looks like the rush is off for a while. Hope you keeping well? We are all fine here.

[Chanelle]

Hi Cheri, how are you my friend? You have not been around much this week? Busy I suppose. How are your Mum and Scott? Have you seen much of Anne, as I heard she was sick in bed. Please let me know. Thanx

[Cherianne]

Hello Chanelle

I have been hectic at the office but things are calming down now. Mum and Scott are fine. Scott's car went into the garage yesterday and it cost an arm and a leg to get the car in order. I am flat broke. So far this month I have spent R3500.00 on two vehicle repairs. I asked his father if he would split the cost and he, as usual, was not keen. I have sent a copy of bill to him. Wishful thinking eh!

Anne has a tummy bug and is booked off work until Thursday. She has really been feeling rotten. I phone her every day to see if she needs anything.

Speak to you soon.

Hi Cheri

Morning Geko, how's the day been treating you so far? Okay here in Jo'burg but very, very hot. We start again on Saturday with load shedding. 12 Hours per week they say. Have you been told of any load shedding in Durban? This is apparently going to go on until the end of July 2008.

Scott's car goes really beautiflly now after the repairs. You could hear him coming for miles. Now the car sounds like a normal car. He is thrilled. I told him we will have to eat very little this month if his Dad does not pay something towards his repairs.

Anyway whether he pays or not we will manage somehow. Scott and I are survivors. We have come 22 years together and we are still here.

Speak later

Hi Cheri, no load shedding so far. Glad Scotts car got fixed.

Hi Geko, hope today finds you fine! Whew!! it is hot in Johannesburg today. Another scortcher.

Cheri told me about you Geko so I thought I would come onto this forum.

I met Cheri years ago and she sort of took care of me when I had problems. We have been friends since then. We are both involved with working with the cause of abandoned babies. Cheri cannot perceive how someone could leave their baby on someone's doorstep, but they do. She is involved with the Mothers who are traced. Cheri helps them and I suppose, sort of counsels them, and prepares them for returning to work and carrying on with their lives. She, of all people, is able to relate to the abuse and violence that these woman have been through. I am more involved with the babies and finding foster care for them. Cheri hates for the babies to be put into homes. She says that breaks the spirit and she is right.

I better get my backside into gear and do some work. Speak to you soon.

Have a great day Geko and we shall speak again soon.

[Cherianne]

Hi Chanelle, I thought you were in disciplinary hearings today taking dictation! I see you came to this thread and are giving away my secrets! No I don't mind, you know me. Anything for a peaceful life.

Scott's car is going like a rocket and he is absolutely thrilled. At least you can hear one another talk in the car now.

Also the petrol will last longer as the hole has been sorted out.

I spoke to Anne last night. She is going back to work today so you can email her or phone. She is still not 100% well but has to return to the office. I told her if she feels rotten to go see the Dr again and get booked off for longer.

Speak again.

[Anne]

Hi Cheri and Chanelle, I am back at the office today. I feel cr*p. I think I may leave at lunch time.

Cheri, that ar^* hole you were married to is so full of it. How can he buy a car for Scott that has a missing silencer and a leaking petrol tank! Why buy a pile of sh*t and then make it your problem? I get so angry with that man!!!! I know that the Uno Mia has two silencers and there is a reason for that. Not so that he can just take one off because it has a hole in it. I am not the biggest bl**dy fool in the world. He knew it would cost him money to get it repaired so he had it taken off instead. Oh Gawd why did you make such a crappy choice for a husband? Okay I will get off my soap box now. Enough said.

I will speak to you tonight to let you know what, if anything, the Dr says. Have a nice day!

Hi Annie, so I am being told off yet again! I cannot help the way he is. You know I agree with you 100%. There is nothing I can do about it.

I am sorry that you still feel cr^ppy. Go home and see the Doc this afternoon. He may book you off until Monday.

Speak to you later.

[Cherianne]

Hi Geko, Anne, Chanelle, Jacques, Warrior Mum. Have a good evening everyone. Warrior Mum you have a good day. Speak again in "our" morning".
