Oh dear I've just found a pack of jaffa cakes in the cupboard that are out of date, flip that means I'll have to eat them all NOW :rotfl:

I think PenPen would disagree with you... . Why don't you leave them a bit longer and see whether it actually has any effect? I somehow doubt it will...

Two bags of garden waste taken to the tip, and health-food shop done. Didn't go to the farm shop - I'll do that later - as I accidentally bought some green & blacks strawberry ice cream, so had to come home and eat it . It's delicious...

I'm in carlsberggal, bit late but I'l use the HH to hoover sofa and find something else to do

AnW'sMum

Why thank you Valli, it's a tough job but someone has to do it

greenbee I couldn't agree more with PenPen's sig and in fact I never go on BB or UB dates, nose and eyes do a sound job.

They taste fine but are a bit on the firmer side so are definitely past their peak but perfectly acceptable

I've given the fridge a good scrub after finding some elderly chickpeas that definitely smelt past their best :rolleyes:.

I've wiped down the inside and outside, and washed some of the fittings - the salad tray and shelves are scheduled for the next batch of washing up...

toots - I do need to clean, not just because my parents are coming (they're not coming to see me, they need a bed after a party - and they aren't going to see much of me as I should manage to get round to doing my paperwork by then) but because the whole house is so filthy and disorganised that I really can't either relax or concentrate!

Won't do any harm to try another one or six, though Just made this cake - it smells divine, and the bowl lickings :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Off in the bath soon, then out to the barbeque (in my £6 charity shop dress :rotfl: and silk pashmina )

See you all tomorrow, Penny. x

Hi mummyyof5, yes he is a coach driver he did mainly work at home when we first moved here but the boss was a bu88er with his wages and kept messing him around (boss is also our landlord) his only option was to go back to someone he had worked for before which meant going back to tour work, neither of us enjoy it, I only moved up here so that I could be with him as I don't like it up here, I have no family or friends as they are all in Cornwall/Devon. But with our finances being as they are this was the best (and only) option to bring some money in, once the debts are more under control he says (not that he will mind you) he's going to find another job so that he can be home al the time again. The house is tidier when he is away, but I'd much prefer him at home Thank god for orange magic numbers!!! Free calls regardless of time of day or length of call (so long as it's under an hour) and unlimited evening and weekend calls so I can ring my mum every night It get's very lonely but I'm slowly getting used to it, don't get upset so much anymore but when he leaves at 5:30 in morning I'm normally tired so cry anyway (also helps me get back off to sleep but wake up with a very foggy head)
How do you cope with it?
