    Jinky (((hugs))) well done for getting in touch with your boss - silly mare you should have done it before but you know that and its not always that straightforward - have a nice time with your gran - we dont know all your issues but angel try writing a list (I love lists:D) of the problems and all the things that you need to do before you go and start ticking some off - you will feel better for getting organised - just remember its a lovely new start for you and Dazco and you dont want to leave everything to the day before - you will just end up a frazzled wreck. xx
    Dont we just know you love lists:rolleyes::p
    The list idea would be good if that was the problem:D...mine are all people and feelings related:rolleyes:
    But I hear ya:A

    l. As promised last night here goes my MEGA list of what I’ve done.
    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    I thought I had been going mad......you have been MUCH MUCH worse:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    Feeling tempted by that duvet on QVC today - Quillion did you cave in for it and what do you think about it?
    I didnt cave in:j.......price still too high for me, but I would LOVE one:D

    Massive reply style-y post to everyone am reading from page 8 onwards!!

    toots - yes lifebooks fpr the kids are a lovely idea arent they. Got the idea from my friend who fostered, whe was supposed to fill one in weekly for each foster chold so they had a record and continuity when they moved on

    pollybear - your mentiopn of wrapping presents has reminded me to get on with mine. Must make s art this week or weekend at least

    Quillion - I couldnt work out why you keep saying nothing will fit you and then read your sig CONGRTATULATIONS - you must be so chuffed. How have you done and have you any left to lose ?

    scared:
    Have bought the boy one... managed to get a doctor who figure and BEN10 trump cards in the Sainsburys toy section reduced - £5 for both items :j That will be ok won't it??
    That sounds great, the figure on its own would be enough I'm sure

    grenbee - the work situation sounds really stressful hope you are ok. My Mum also phines just as I am sitting down with food (usually following hours of being busy). Bless her, I always seem tobe saying Idont want to stay on long. she is known for epic hour long phonecalls, they are never just 5 minutes

    SummerMoon - hugs for you chick, hope you are doing ok this week and not too down.

    fedup you are having a rotten time at the minute, sorry about your poor dog too ((hugs))

    princess lou glad the flying is working for you :D, how lovely to get flowers!

    poohbear hope your old dog is having a good day today

    MissH - well done doing your letter. Was it well received ?

    holly hope DSS head is ok

    frodders - big big hugs for you honey, hope you are doing ok and staying calm

    Right need to go and sort out a) why they are all screaming and b) dinner
    Got to leave here in just under an hour for Beavers and parents evening, fear it will be a rush now, darnit.

    You can still make a list - it might help you to write some of it down, and also to prioritise things!
