Right, last night's post disappeared before my eyes - why does it do this?:mad: and I had a 'Sod It' moment and left it.

Had VJ's Mum's sort of day, with masses of work seemingly achieving nothing, or having little to show for it....... and it was all soooo time-consuming.

Now:kisses: Ms R:kisses:[Frith], I think all of us expect your emotional seesaws after a relationship and would predict them, so you are as safe as safe can be with us. You are not odd or unbalanced or strange or doomed to repeat scenarios only. You come to us as unaffected, straight, loving, and without an ounce of side. We all have hugs and virtual cuppas waiting for you, at any and every time they're needed, aside from the stalwart family and friends you have on hand. Do you not realise this makes you special too? To keep and cultivate such relationships from early school and work is a special gift and you have it. You also have instinctive and salving recourse to music which is a marvellous thing you have made fundamental in family life, a treasure beyond price which your boys will bring to your grandchildren. Think of this! Call that today's telling-off to your good and dear self:D from moi. Also, start on Fred Vargas from the Library.

I intend being succinct...........:rotfl:

1. Spoke with xx, rather than send em, after discussion with L. Good to have done so? On verra.
2. 3 hours on phone yesterday while my Tesco Clubcard online a/c was finally restored. Haven't had access for over 2 weeks and began seeing national stories about the mess with their new system. 40 mins' wait was announced on the Freephone no., but I knew that I would have to do it. It was 80 mins eventually, before connection with Glasgow Matthew, who was great fun. We fixed it eventually.
3. Made a wonderful loaf of seedy bread. I've started rubbing French sea salt onto glaze before baking and it adds a delicious something.
4. Rat traps sprung, choc spread licked clean, but no bodies. They are clever. Bait plates empty, so recharged encore. Enclosed trap still at starting weight. It's getting personal.
5. DID repeat with Harriet Walter - listening again and now Gully Wells' The House in France, although I read a no-no review in Grauniad, when I looked during some season of Tesco call waiting yesterday. It's going to be a library guilty pleasure read for me and Amazon after, maybe. Think M in France would enjoy this and know lots of the peeps.

Succinct?:o Not that I can see, but I have stopped at 5.

Sparrer and I have soap plan ongoing. I am off with trailer to help someone move this arvo[you're with me. mhagster:)?] Have made them aware that this is a supreme sacrifice:D, given wimbo line-up, but they are keen, too. Radio will be on throughout.

Evening all.

Please excuse any glaring typos in this evening's post - i'm typing rather gingerly having burnt my left hand on the viciously unpredictable hot tap in the poffice kitchen.

1) Made extra of my favourite veg satay noodles last night so I had extra to take into work for lunch today, and I'm pleased to say it's even better cold.

2) Received my Approved Food order and I think I should be able to do a whole month living off my storecupbaord now, only buying fresh veg, fruit and milk. :money:

3) Finding out I'll be gtting some overtime this month. It will only be a couple of hours but still a bonus as my employer doesn't usually pay overtime.

4) Got home in time for the Murray match - I'll be going back to it any second now...

5) Watching a blackbird searching my raised border for his dinner.

Have a pleasant evening, all, and COME ON MURRAY!

My pleasures today:

1. Walked to the shops with DH. The first time I've done this since my foot operation last November. I suffered for it but I did it.

2. Buying a sweet little house shaped sewing box in the charity shop. Eat your heart out Cath Kidston, its was only £2.99. Might be mine if DGD doesn't beg it off me.

3. Picking up some good buys in Home Bargains.

4. Baking scones and a lemon cake in the Remoska to save on leccy.

5. By careful management I've cut out a wash load this week and all has been line dried. More saving on leccy.

Bella.
