    Right have Dusted and tidied and hoovered and washed floor on ground level..

    Sure The Gods have it in for me today. Have just finished my coffee and realised it was full of lily pollen and petals as was trying to salvage good flowers left from old bunch and they must have fallen in.. Thought all parts of lillies were poisoness, :eek: feel wierd now but probs over active imagination. Also have received electric shock from hoover OH fixed:cool: Suspicious...:rotfl:

    Don`t think I have life insurance!!!:rolleyes:
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)

    List is up.. I'm really sorry I was certain I'd done it last night..

    I was out for a meal at 7 and was sure I'd done it before I went..

    DS1's GF had some terrible news yesterday. Her dad hanged himself.. on top of everything else she really needed this.. poor love.. she was bearing up last night but that might just have been shock..

    OMG Hugs going out to your DS1`S GF. We`ve had similar last week. DD`S Friends mum killed herself and her daughter found her, she`s only 14 and now has to live with Father she hasn`t had much contact with as he had an affair and left them... Very sad news

    Massive hugs Pigpen for your DS's GFand freddoms DD's friend. Poor babes, makes you realise just how small your own problems are compared to some so huge apologies to everyone mine and OH's problems are nothing and I will NOT dwell on them any longer.
