    Thanks thanks and thanks again..........
    to all those who have replied to my post and reassured me. Love you all........

    Since posting I've packed up laptop for tomorrow, had a shower and dried my hair, dismantled the outside Christmas tree and have nearly stripped the livingroom one
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I am in the middle of disembowelling Billy Bear! Up to 6 charity bags of stuffing and at least 3 more I reckon before I am done. He is way to big for me to move easily and has been sat on the landing for months with a hole in his leg and stuffing escaping. Miss A is upset though as Daddy brought him home originally. He was a raffle prize in the Asda Staff prize drawer, DH saw the winner struggling with him on top of a trolley and offered to buy him off her for the kids! They have loved having him but it is time for him to go. Said to Miss A that we could perhaps make him into cushions instead :rotfl: but if anyone wants/needs some cushion stuffing let me know and I'll finda way of getting some to you.

    Welcome to more new flyers - sorry cant remember all your names but I did spot Reya who's in Norfolk (but not necessarily my neck of the woods!)

    Vivw and anyone else worried about keeping up - dont, its becoming impossible. I like many others will be going back to work full time tomorrow so any flying needs to be done in the evenings and any catching up can only be done after that and food. It's just nice if people can pop in to say hi, how there days gone and update on any flying.

    My list for tomorrow has been amended to suit us, printed off and each job delegated (bar a couple) to the kids who are both at home tomorrow so will be interesting to see how much they actually do.

    Inspired by sarashattered I have finished DD's room and she is actually happy about it now and all I have is a small basket on the landing of bits to relocate.

    I have also ironed :eek: 5 shirts and 3 pairs trousers for me for work this week (a first) so can adjust the alarm for an extra 15 mins in bed :D and DD's uniform and school bag are ready for Tues apart from the trainers that need to go through the WM at some point tomorrow.

    Well done to everyone on your achievements :T :T :T :A and big hugs to those who need them :grouphug: :grouphug:
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
