    I did quite well, a couple of the jobs left are quite small and some I can't do yet - like the ironing (cos the washing is still drying).

    DS having posh HC hot choc (he's not too impressed) and I've just poured some wine...bliss!

    Think we might go see A Christmas Carol tomorrow:xmastree:...

    Off to cinema in a bit so having dinner early to save money later when I fancy a fish supper:D! know your weaknesses and all that:o...

    Had words with DS today for being a selfish messy little git so he's being an angel now - long may it last! have about £4 to last me till friday now... food is bought, dinner money put to side and petrol not included so it'll be tight but doable... unless of course another letter appears from school:rolleyes:...

    Feeling a bit down today - one of those times when I think how much easier life would be if only I had a nice, rich husband to take care of me:o... not sure what has brought this on but really need to snap out of it:rolleyes:! Have had weetabix with hot milk for brekkie (comfort eating at it's best) and will try to have a nice cheap fun day with DS and cross off remaining stuff on my list.

    Anyway reasons to be cheerful...

    1. We are both reasonably healthy
    2. No longer in debt
    3. Have lovely friends and family
    4. The sun is SHINING

    Husbands are sometimes not all they are cracked up to be............
    • man farts
    • skiddy underwear
    • puddles on the bathroom floor

    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
