    Sorry to see you have been down - but it isn't really surprising as you are of course missing Popeye as well as being worried about the aged Ps.

    Yes, let your brother do "his" share - sorry if that is a bit blunt as he may be doing other things that I don't know about!

    DOn't cancel the meet - each time you don't do something or go somewhere there is a valid reason but looking back on it you seem to have only gone out for mystery shopping, work and visiting the parents. Although MS is fun at times you do need to go where you want when you want...

    I'll make sure I pop on your diary on Wed to ensure no prevaricating!

    Yup, that's right, I've just been here, at my parents or at work :o
    So what am I looking forward to?
    A "real live" here :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm feeling a lot better thanks :D
    But peb's post made me feel a right loser :rotfl: (I *know* that's not what was meant, but she's right, I've been skulking at home, failing in my challenge and making myself feel worse for that failure :o )

    So I've got a list of things to do, before we (DD et moi) go to Leeds on Friday.
    And I've only had one sad-ish e-mail from Pater hinting that it would go better if I were there. ;) to which I replied that bro' was a lot stronger than me and could heave the carpet about much better.:D
  • Hi Olive just spotted your diary and sorry you are feeling a bit low. Have been a but run off my feet myself the past couple of days. I think you are probably just a bit fatigued from having it all on your shoulders at the moment..and i am sure it will soon pass.:D

    At least on here you can share your thoughts and feelings and get lots of advice, or even just get it off your chest..so chin up hun..you are well over half way through your challenge and doing amazingly well.:T

    There *isn't* a clean answer.

    I suppose you are middle aged when scrabble becomes an attractive option ? :rotfl: :rotfl:
