Triker

Gawd, I CBA'd today at all. Loads to do, no inclination to do anything.

Went into town briefly aand looked at pressies but again, could'nt be bothered nor was I inspired even with super dooper Boots deals that I wouldn't have to pay with cash for (use points)....just lost my shopping mojo really.

DD2 is having her friend over tonight so I'll pick them up later until then I'm doing nowt.

If you can-ba you are more than welcome to come for coffee once you've collected the extra.. ?? I totally understand if you want to stay home in the warmth.. .. Dunno about losing the will to shop.. I've lost the will to live today.. I have DS3 wailing because I charity shopped his age 7-8 dressing gown.. he is nearly 11!! DD's 4 & 5 are wailing because they wanted to tidy their room so I gave them a binbag and DD1 wailing because I told her to pick her crap off the landing!! .. !!!!!!....

I am ringing their absent waste of atoms parent and asking him if he is not busy tomorrow to take them to church in the morning and get rid of them for a few hours before I murder them!

Poor you piggers, deep breath now my dear.

I'd pop in for a coffee but there's no way I'm tackling that M62 right now!

I cannot describe how I feel today - like I have been hit with a jugganaut and picked myself up and carried on as usual comes the closest to it. numby numb numb. Ex told me to go out at Christmas and meet someone else - thanks. Found a card his new love had sent him, declaring just that. No chance of any repairs to the relationship. Need to pack it up in a box and chuck it out. Ready to burn all the cards that no longer mean anything. Got a big box to put it into and then parcel tape it up and chuck it in the tip.

Dear Girls

I have been missing in action for soooo long, family traumas, hubbie's grandad died 2 weeks ago, expected but still hard. It is was strange being the other side of the fence and other stuff - keeping the peace over xmas arrangements.

Right now to important matters -
ZLJ - Big hugs and stay strong, u are a wonderful mum.:A
TOOTS - Big hugs and hope u are behaving:rotfl:
SEXY - sounds like u have had an awful time and u have come through the other side as a star:j:D:A
LL- Big hugs:A
VALLI - Does the flylady bar do non alcoholic drinks ??:beer:

Not much done, but seeing as I've been away, I'm quite pleased! Hopefully enough will get done in the garden tomorrow that I'll be able to spend Monday morning cleaning the mud out of the house!
