Hello everyone! Sorry I've been useless recently - have had so much work to do haven't been able to come on here very much. Hope everyone is ok. Ossireo sounds like things are going well with your tall scot - how exciting! Keep us updated please - it gives me some hope!!

Sarah - hope you're feeling chirpier today. When I feel like that I write a list (I'm a fanatical list writer!) - even if it only has five things on (and they don't have to be big) crossing them off makes me feel so much better. And all the little things eventually add up.... big hug and chin up!

Oh, I meant to ask a favour in my post above - I'm going on holiday tomorrow (can't afford it really but cheap flights and staying with a friend so quite DFW really....) and I know that lots of us on here are book fiends...can anyone suggest any good reads for me to take???

Thank you! x

Gosh I haven't read anything for ages.

Back in the days when I was buying many books it was usually stuff like PJ Tracy, Patricial Cornwell and of course a lasting favourite Terry Pratchett

Ohh I dunno, books are something that I take very seriously (most would say too seriously!) but without knowing what kind of stuff that you are into I don't really know what to suggest. John Irving is my fall back guaranteed-to be-good, Alice Sebold, the lovely bones is beautiful but you will probably cry, ditto Dave Egger's books. I've think that Lionel Shriver is great, especially We need to talk about Kevin but again, it's a bit heavy. For laughs, I go to Dave Gorman or Danny Wallace. For out and out fun oddness, try the Eyre Affair by Jasper FForde. Oh how exciting.... books, books, books!!!

I like a good Maeve Binchy when I'm on holiday. She writes in such a romantic and light way - perfect for lazing around in the sun

Thank you - great suggestions! Will hit the book shop on the way home. Now I'm just worried about going over my weight limit with my bag!!!

Aww, thanks for that, it was a lovely thing to say! I did cheer up eventually, it strangely coincided with finding a box of chocolate biscuits in the cupboard.

Thankyou! I am feeling chirpier today, I like your idea about lists, I am terrible for putting things off until the last moment, I have a few things that need doing tomorrow, I will list them and give myself a nice tick when they are done. Am tired of feeling so disorganised, I need to get back in control!

Hope you enjoy your holiday, you lucky thing! My book choice would be Marian Keyes, her books are fab!
