    Valli – carlsberggran made me chuckle, well done on your assessment
    Fedup – glad your feeling more positive
    Mudders- hope Ds is ok and OOUCH on your poor eye!
    MissH – WTG you!
    Soappie – glad ankle is on the mend
    Muumyof5 – thanks love

    Sorry if I’ve forgotten anybody – head is still a shed.
    Done dailies and sweet FA else, good job it doesn’t look too bad. Need to do a clothes wash and hoover downstairs, will see how I feel when get home from work tonight.
    We went to my sisters last night, DD2 had a chat with her whilst looking at the progress on sisters loft conversion, she said she was moving back in with us, so I’m assuming that means she’s keeping baby and giving up uni? Though she told my sister that she hadn’t decided, but sounds to me like she has. Didn’t want to ask her last night as she has to tell me, will see what tonight brings. May ring FA that did my mortgage last time, and ask him to look into re-mortgaging, though have a year left on fixed rate and a penalty of £1600 still, but need to get some sort of orderly thoughts in my head and this will be doing one of them. Will have to ring when pop out for a fag at work as he does a lot of work for vendors at work and don’t want others in office to hear my conversation with him as I’ve not told any of them yet what’s going on. Though they know it’s something as I look about 109, chin keeps wobbling and stuff.

    Thanks for the Thorntons heads up. I am being indecisive now though, seems a lot of money to waste on chocolate but it would mean I only had a few little bits left to buy. I much prefer Hotel Chocolat so it would be safe from me :o.

    I'm glad a few of you used the thorntons code - a big thanks to the person on the grabbit board who originally posted it.

    My eye is VERY black and closed....I probably ought to get it checked out but I'll wait until I've finished work! It looks like I've put one of those trick telescopes to my eye - the ones covered in black ink. I freaked my children out this morning!

    Right, lists to plan. So far I've;

    - walked dogs and got soaking wet
    - put washing machine on
    - cleaned floors
    - delivered present and card friend's son

    Now to do a list...

    :hello:Hello

    I am on a bit of a 'go slow' this week. Stopping the steroids has had a huge impact.

    I have , today, though, managed to photograph lots more clothes and odds and ends for ebaying so the decluttering continues:)

    We are taking the old dog to the vets again today and we have decided that it is time for her to go. DH and I are both doing not so well and this is going to be very difficult.
