    I'm going to leave it at that, otherwise it'll get too big to handle.

    Do you think in future I should class my conservatory as a 2nd living room? I just did it with the lounge...though, really, I've just done everything today!

    Write me a list of 5 good things about yourself!!

    Ooo I can do this!

    1. I am a good mother, not perfect but good
    2. I'm a loving wife, again not perfect but I try my best!
    3. I'm good at cooking yummy food
    4. I'm good at my hobbies which are jewellery making, photography and now dancing
    5. I'm a fabulous friend...still not perfect but 99% of the time I'm around as a shoulder to cry onto :)

    Ok can I cross that one out now?

    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

  • Hi,

    Hope everyone is well and welcome newbies/returners. Sorry for not posting all day, but have had a REALLY busy day. So far today I've done errands, volunteer work, and been to stroke group, so have not been at home much. I'm out all day tomorrow as well and am staying at my Mum's tomorrow night (my Dad's away so I'm keeping her company), and doing volunteer work on Friday. So will be back online on Friday evening. See you all soon :wave:

    Looks like I am not going to bet my next medal tonight on account of the fact that I am yawning like a good un which makes a change for me.
