    Loving that your list of positives is massively longer than negatives!! :j I am also a professional complainer. :o But only when it's warranted, and I also make a point of praising good service.

    Hi Mum, lovely new diary and look at that list of achievements, you have done so well this year in difficult circumstances.

    Look forward to the future and whenever you are feeling low look over that list again, I have every faith that you will succeed in everything you wish for x x x

    Great new diary...you seemed to have done a fair bit of evaluating over the last few days...
    Had a little smile to myself over those sayings as I've heard them loads the last few days ..lol...
    Hope you're still having a good time and think we'll all be glad when you have another computer.
    DGS couldn't wait to tell his mummy all about what he'd been doing and your DD is an angel.
  • Hi mum2one. I love your style! Im also "disabled" and like you I never stop trying! Never give up. Plus my DD is my world 2. Shes 6. How old is yours? Good luck with everything. Keep a list of all your goals and dreams on your person, and then you can read them at a moments notice to keep you inspired to achieve them. Take care xx

    just a quickie.....b4 bed. Keyboard not fixed -but as its Vista you can have an onscreen keyboard -pain but does give me a space bar.

    Think the word is help.....

    DD doesn't want to go home, she now wants to live in Blackpool.....she was suppose to help with the packing up -got 2 things out of the wardrobe then decided she had hurt her arm - really thinks if were not packed we can stay. I'm absolutely dreading packing the car....

    Had a really gd fortnight, and with it being just the two of us, brings us closer together. Had our last wonder out today, which mainly consisted of Peacocks (sale rack), then Primark -originally to return some clothes, but came out with school trs and hair accessories - thats flavour of the month at the mo - shes brought 20 thin type Alice bands.

    Get a free ngt out Sunday doing a mystery shop - cinema visit - with the timing its either Harry Potter or Bruno, so me thinks Bruno it is.

    (Note - avoids that magic word money
    debts
