    I agree KP, and she is a very proactive person. I am mega impressed with speed of stuff and glad the counselling is going ok. Be aware of feeling down a bit at first though.

    Funny that he said the same and youre all right! Thankfully I have support, have had councelling before and know it gets worse before better but know that it helps so worth the pain for the gain! Day at home which has been nice. Neighbor popped in for a cuppa, did some kning and just made wine - halfway through the washing machine man came so just going to finish that and then watch the bbc drama at 9....anyone been watching it? Is very good!! Another nsd here!

    well so much t the dvd - it doesent work which is more than annoying as had dealings with woman before via local group so collected against my better judgemen and it skps..constantly and had to resort to laptop to finish it! Good thing was it was confessions of a shopaholic which just confirms that sometimes you cant beat the book plus she didnt have a lbm!! Am on he hunt for a our legged whiskered ting and if this has taught me one thing its what is important to me in a way that no other life experience has. On that profound note to bed I go!!

    thanks beanie...people feel its a bit strange having rehomed 4 which I can understand but I dont pay for her (she is a gift in all sences) plus its 1 cat and I would never have split the others and they are happy with their new mummies. Lodger sat and had wine while I held her so something and called her a cat instead of rat by the end of the eve...only so much I can do..I asked re getting cat and only after I got one does she say not to so too late me thinks!
