  • Thankyou ladies. Manic day yesterday turned into relaxing evening with family arriving. Am going to get in the spirit today, few bits and bobs to get, wrapping to be done, given up on any attempt to tidy house given the total mess this time tomorrow !

    Scrooge I don't think I can make anything much out of December other than kick back and enjoy it. I'm not a big New Years fan, my family disperse on the 30th, I think I may get moving on New Years Eve.

    Hypno Jaffa Cake January ? Only if they are on a BOGOF, although Tesco's own are as good.....

    SH - Nice idea - pat myself on back for getting through it all. And perhaps list where I want to be this time next year.

    Seaxwyn - Thanks for stopping by. I've read many of your posts and have around a similar amount to deal with. Positivity always gets me up and running again.

    Update on 'butterfly boy' ! Few online chats and texts. I slowly came back down to earth, due to family and real life events. I am going to meet him at some point, and looking forward to seeing old friend. Anything beyond that is a bonus. No agenda. The 'butterfly' experience was good for me, aswell as sad but it had to happen at some point.

    Right pass the sellotape...

    Is there any way you can fit in half an hour of peace and quiet somehow?
