    Ok, links to diaries are not good, I ordered then emptied my basket :D this is reminiscent of the 'great Filofax palava of 2008' (Valli's fault that time :D )

    No I am NOT taking all the blame for that - I was trying to save Mudbath some money and you all got sucked in:rotfl:
    Chickens - herded :rotfl: I can just imagine it!

    Congrats Mummyof5 and Dd and hugs too

    Hugs to you grateforhelp. We lost one of our budgies just before Christmas and it was very hard for the whole family. I don't know how we would do if we lost our dog.
    Hugs to Emily and happy birthday mumof4. Big hug for anyone else who needs it.
    I've hoovered the stairs and hallway and made up some dough for rolls later on. Off to Tescos with the monsters and then will carry on. Wifey working on the 'pit of doom' aka the boys slum bedroom at the moment.
    Divorce all finished- now to start saving for a better future!
  • Thanks everyone for your kindness. Katie dog has gone now, and the vet was very sweet. My 6 year old is concerned that we now have no need for bonios and what will we do with them!

    I'm in Holly.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Kitchen surfaces cleared and wiped - a major job given that I've been ignoring them all week! Oven & hob wiped - again harder work as I've used them more and haven't been able to deal with them as I've been going. 3rd lot of washing on line... 4th lot in the machine :rolleyes:

    I've got about another hour to go until I need to tidy myself up to go out, so I'm eating lunch and will start again as soon as it's eaten!
