Hey Toots

there is also this poem that might be the one you're looking for

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Don't know if it's the right one but still a beautiful verse

I like the way divorce was your first one and that it is filed away. I agree with you about the paperwork tax credits churn out and why they feel the need to send DH and me a copy to the same address I don't know.

I bin ALL the tax credit stuff.. if you deperately NEED a copy they'll send you out another within 48 hours... so why keep it cluttering up the hovel?

Pigpen I am so in awe of you having 8, and tell me, do they moan about not having a tv? I hear other people say they wouldn't have one but the kids would suffer (I think they mean moan!) and I always said I'd bring mine up without tv so a bit disappointed about having one now (although I do limit viewing). Right I'm getting back to the case study it's got to be done by the end of this week.:eek:

They NEVER complain... and if they desperately need shutting up most of the stuff is online now anyway.. they have watched a fair amount of cbeebies these summer hols!

What people mean is that their children might actually talk to them.. the parents.. and they might be required to do something other than ignore them!!! 3 of mine could read before they went to school.. 1 could read before he went to nursery!! there are other things in life!

Off to catch up with DH about his day - see you later!

That is so spooky!! I was just popping in here to have a quick update of my Flylady to-do list and then I was going to look for the holiday grand plan list. I had it printed off last year and found it really helpful but I couldn't remember where I had got it from, just that it started in September. I was going to Google but I now don't have to! Thank you
