    Pink - have found the song on You Tube http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=EqhZBgdQn2A&feature=related And no, I'm not really that old - I have sisters that are 17 and 15 years older than me, so I grew up listening to their music LOL

    lil_me - hello, and thanks :) The credit crunch is certainly having an effect down here. Lots of mortgagee and bank enforced house sales. I know we are certainly seeing a lot more people in the Budget Service. Had quite an influx lately :( Of course most of the ones just starting out still have no idea - still going out and buying up large on credit. Then they get sent along to us because they can't pay, but don't show up for meetings. They really don't seem to care. Sad really. I guess they just have never been taught how to handle money properly. **rant over** LOL

    Well, grocery shopping done and nearly all put away. Also put petrol in the car as I was sick of the little bells ringing and telling me it was getting low!!

    Off to hang out washing then start on ensuite and MB.

    I didn't realise that was the sector you worked in Denise, must be more obvious to you than some others. I've got friends on 110-125% mortgages who're now sat on negative equity and they really are oblivious sometimes to how it'll effect them and they ignored all the advice they were given before taking them out.

    Oh petrol, that was one thing I did notice today, 90.9p a litre.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    mudbath Hugs to you. I had my hysterectomy at 36, ovaries were left. I haven't had any HRT as I am not allowed it because Mum died of breast cancer and so did my aunt (her sister). You need good support after, but I can honestly say that it completely changed my life. I hope you get sorted really soon. You can pm me if you want to ask about it, or just want to chat.

    nicki I would like mine with flake and cream please, blow the diet.

    lil_me I hope your OH can manage to get something that he really wanrs to do. My DS3 is hoping to go into the merchant navy to get training so he can then work ashore but I haven't told him he might find it really difficult to get work.
    serena I did the decluttering thing just like you over the last few years, I had a break and now it seems worse than ever with DD back here, DS1 in smaller digs and loads of his stuff and DS3 who has every hobby under the sun which needs equipment. I tried to get it all in his room but have decided that he will have to keep it in my study/fitness room. You have encouraged me to get cracking on decluttering and as I want to conserve energy 15 minutes sounds ideal. JUST NOT TODAY, manana, I think.

    pigpen I don't have any windows that are not neglected, we can get away with it because the sun doesn't shine too much here, so it isn't too obvious.

    I laughed when I went to the pain management programme and they suggested we only clean one window a day, so we don't increase pain.
