    Well dinner is on :j Sad isn't it when a small thing like that seems like a big achievement :o Just got to make sure the pasta water doesn't boil over like usual :rolleyes:

    Going to go out at 3 I think, give me plenty of time to get to my parents house. Was going to talk to the doctor about feeling up or down but not sure if I'm ready too.

  • DD has been emailing me to ask if we're going to split up, but since that would involve him talking about what's wrong, making decisions and sorting things out, I think the answer would probably be a resounding "No!" especially as he would also then need to do his own washing, ironing, shopping, cleaning etc. And he couldn't afford it.

    School hols have started. I have 3 girls here DD and friend, DS and GF...this is fab because they won't fight and argue with each other.
    AF is still making her presence felt though...she is supposed to be gone by now. Out for works do tonight so need to bath.
    And I still haven't got my backside in gear and done works stuff!

    LIL-ME - I believe I have found you a LEGO CITY POLICE STATION - there's a shop not too far away which has 7 still in stock. I'm off out now to grab one for you - they wouldn't reserve it for me, but said they've had them a while and they're not selling as fast as they were.

    Will report back in a couple of hours
