    Emily - thanks for sharing. You're right about the cause of your anxiety. My second marriage was not a happy one. ExOh2 was a violent, bullying control freak. It really does have an effect on your own mental health. But, time does heal though the scars remain.

    AnWsMum - I've been too cowardly to take the dog to the vet. But, talking about it to DD this morning, my plan is to speak to the vet on Monday with a view to BeffyBoo going in on Thursday. I shall take Friday off - this'll mean that I'll be home for three days in a row to keep an eye on her after the op. Loved the joke btw

    Bedding nicely line dried and folded, two settee covers have taken their place on the line - it's a good breezy drying day today!

    Shopping all done

    One lot of windows cleaned but I'll leave the others for a bit - I want to give my bedroom a good going over before I put the bedding back on. There are some dusty, horrible places that need a sort out...

    PPI Party Pooper
    Afternoon ladies and gents,

    Big hugs for Grateful and Emily:A

    Happy Birthday MO477 - Have a great day, your party sounds fab! Hope your DS is on the mend.

    Mummyof5 - I found out i was pregnant when i was 20, it was a huge shock but i think i'm doing ok now, its a shame the dad isnt taking responsibility but at the end of the day its his loss. Hope you and DD are ok.

    Just getting ready for work, enjoy the rest of your weekends.
