    Hi V, its not a case of affording him its the welfare angle. He really struggled last winter and looked like a welfare case. There is a saying 'better a day too soon than a day too late'. I've spoken to the people who gave him to us and they agree the time has come. Mind you the old man was not for being caught tonight to put his fly stuff on, tinker!!!!

    Had my facial today, so my skin feels nice. Having my hair done tomorrow. Will pay for that then see how much of the wages isn't left. Got my mum coming to stay for a week. Please give me strength to not kill her!!!!

    OH has pushed the hoover round so house looks okish. Just got the bed settee to rig up, which I'll do later. Got DD1 to pick up at 7.30, she's been on her end of year trip to the theatre. Whilst collecting her will get some milk.

    Need to make a lasagna for tomorrow nights tea. Got leavers service as well, so must get into work early, so I can finish early. Had my mop done £50 for cut and colour. Looks pretty good if I say so myself. Must get myself nominated for Gok, if ever there was a lost cause, she's here typing!!!!
