    I'm struggling at the moment as i seem to be taking more than my share lately... i try to be a giver but sometimes circumstances dictate you need to be on the recieving end for a while...

    i'd be reallt struggling without the help i've had from some RL friends with house stuff and moving, and support and lovely kind thoughts from you guys...

    I find it easier to give than to recieve help, so it's horrible being so needy!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Well I am back from my daughter's graduation. It didn't all go to plan! The spray tan was patchy, my hair was horrible, my daughter forgot the tickets to the ceremony, we forgot to pack certain things that we needed and didn't get a chance for her to have an official photo but all in all it didn't really matter!

    My daughter looked lovely and I was so proud of her when she collected her degree. The ceremony itself got a bit boring as there were so many students there so I had to stop clapping after my daughter had got hers because my hands were hurting!


    :T:Tsome more applause for your DD... well done to her!

    Maz-I think we all have times in our lives (thankfully short lived) when we seem to be takers,rather than givers. It all evens out in the end,apart from those evil peeps who ARE just takers...just accept the help in the short term, and when you are able you'll revert to situation normal-make sense?
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
