    At last, almost the end of another c**p day :rolleyes:

    Cheer up, they said, it can only get better. Why then, after a morning where evrything I touched either broke, got dropped, or went wrong, did I have to do a late shift with TFAWTISNHMIHBBOFS!!! The worst of it is that at about 11.00, "we" have to do the late "patrol" and make sure the toilet blocks are okay and everyone is tucked up in bed with a mug of cocoa :mad: :mad: :mad: To make things even worse, I haven't got any pointy things and stringy stuff yet. I'm beginning to feel a bit of a fraud.

    At times like this, I'm so glad that my doggies love me :j I even managed a "don't worry Dad, I love you" fuss from The Witch earlier on. That's the spaniel btw, not the MIL :rotfl:

    Martyn.



    My doggys love me too...! so much in fact that my oldest who is a large collie cross wants to sit on my knee and squash me flat (I am tiny).Lets put this day on the crap pile (its getting a bit too big for my liking) and start a fresh tomorrow . And seeing as no one is going to buy me any easter eggs I might just make myself a big fat chocolate cake and eat it all to myself.. and hwmnbn will be in bed! ... (((hugs)))

    Ok forgive me for being thick:o ...but whats "doing a tru"?:o


    Tru is a regular poster who, when she is being taken for granted by her family, goes on strike and gives them all a good telling off. I do it now too and it works. :cool:

    Thank you. Thank you all for your thoughts.

    Eric's funeral will be on Thursday. Nothing too religious as he wasn't, the vicar is coming up on Monday to arrange things. I have pinched one of the poems posted - When I am gone - as it is so apt and I hope that it is OK for me to do so. I am also going to have Gone fishing by Chris Rea played as it just sums up Eric and I always did think of him when I heard it.

    I dropped off some clothes at the undertakers today for him ready for Tuesday when he comes home and I can go and see him on Wednesday to put the letters from me and the children and the other bits that we want to send him off with in to his coffin.

    I had to sort out his flowers today and settled on a beautiful arrangement to sit on his coffin in white and cream and also a wreath from each of the children.

    I not being such a good mum at the moment as the kids are being fed crap - the easy no cook option - and are overdosing on the freely available chocolate in the form of the many easter eggs that everyone keeps bringing them. However I am going to have to get my act together soon, the problem I think is that because I have lost my appetite or being more honest I am just not organized at the moment and my heart really isn't in it.

    Anyway, the house is clean - I find that quite theraputic (sad I know) but it is the best I can do at the moment.

    I hope you all have a good weekend,

    Smoky.
