    jo1972, you could always just read the first post in each diary - that sort of sums up where I am at varying points over the last three years!

    Just been back to your first chapter Hypno - think I started following with the 'This time next year Rodney' (or something like that) - so it was quite funny hearing you talk of your 11 year old son - he's quite grown up now - I'm up to page 10. Makes me realise how well you have done keeping the level of commitment for so long... but where there's a will there's a way. You certainly have the will to do it. Not sure if I can read them all though - have a job keeping up with the current one some days.

    Been some sad news round here today - I'd wondered what the police activity was all about and a 3 year old girl has been found dead in the new flats at the back of my ave. Mother has been taken into custody. So sad - makes you wonder what drives someone to do that (if indeed she did?). A waste of a young life.

    Funny you hear things all the time in the news but it seems to hit home more when its close to home.

    milann that really is sad. so sad.

    The sun is not yet up and I am sitting in my conservatory - it has become my "Sunday morning room" I think. Even though it is not hot and sunny outside anymore, it is still nice and peaceful being in here. I am very glad I have made the effort to clear this room out.....and amazingly it has stayed that way!

    Off to do the scratches, and check on the banking - coffee at the ready :D

    Morning shaun......just off to make another coffee if you want one?

    Scratches done - double scratch day today - every 10p helps! 50p on virgin too, so all helps in the grand journey towards debt freedom.

    The children are out on their paper rounds - it is a lot chillier out there than it has been in recent weeks, so I think they will wish they had taken their coats...ah well, that is for them to learn!

    morning all! I'm up early too!

    After going to the post office yesterday to post amazon sales (which was shut, so wound up driving through Thorpe End to use their post office, grr), I ended up completely rearranging my house, so am a bit knackered today! But now need to get the desk from the office into the house, and the desk that's in the bedroom into the office. No need to do a workout today then! Means I have a new morning (well all day lol) space as well, my little house looks so much bigger.

    Milann, how awful. Just can't say more than that really can you?
