    Gawd, I'm exhausted!

    This peace making stuff - it's harder than it's made out to be. I think I deserve the Nobel Prize for the South West!

    But, things seem to have settled down and we have a way forward.... That can only be good.

    I am now going to do the washing up - I refuse to leave it until the morning...

    L-L - hugs, prayers and vibes heading your way :A

    Well done soappie - hope the truce holds!

    AnW's mum - as others have said, it's not silly and its a big step for you to take. You have to deal with things as you feel comfortable with them. Well done.

    rach - its good to hear that your colleagues respect and appreciate you. Make the most of the new job to prove them right!

    flower - hope you get well soon

    Quillion - happy anniversary

    Mo5 - happy birthday

    And hugs all round for the rest of you...

    Salad made, breakfast made (and I weighed the ingredients, so I can check up on my nutritional intake at some point... I really need to start keeping a proper food diary!), almonds, brazil nuts and figs boxed up to take too. Pork casserole in SC. DW opened by not emptied... but I'm off to pack the rest of my stuff up for tomorrow (deciding what to wear means this could take some time :rolleyes:) and get ready for bed. See you all tomorrow...

    Washing up done (apart from one saucepan where the rice stuck a little too firmly so that's in soak for the morning)

    I am now off to bed. Have a busy day tomorrow.

    *sniff* *sob* thanks guys.... means so much. She's so lovely and he thinks he can take everything from her, including the children. She's so beaten down by his carp that she thinks he can too. :( He thinks he can swan in with a top notch barrister and leave her rinsed out and trashed. :mad:

    *rage* *SWEAR* *stamp* AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG

    It just makes me so mad. She really doesn't deserve any of this.

    Sorry everyone. I know I'm going on, it's just been a helluva couple of weeks, and everytime I think things are calming down, something else happens.

    I'm off to bed now, and will offer up a prayer for some sense to prevail tomorrow.

    Lady-L (((hugs))) to you, and positive vibes sent for you too.

    Morning all

    I see Piggers has taken us back in time and has turned Thursday into Tuesday! :D

    I will do the bathroom today and the front room instead of the study (which is technically done because it's part of my bedroom). I have the damp man (fnah fnah) coming tomorrow to sort out the rising damp in the front room so it all needs to be moved about a bit so the area they'll be working on is clear.

    I'm also out at a meeting for a couple of hours this morning. But I'll update stars as and when!
