    Another wee bit gone off the list, i'm slowly getting there.
    Right it's time for the elves.:rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Perhaps a minimalist Christmas theme this year??

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Soappie what your DD did is amazing, hopefully soon she will realise that. I am a trained first aider and every time I do a top up course it gets me thinking would I be able to put into practice everything that I have learnt? I am not sure and hopefully will never find out and I think most trained people would agree. Your DD in the heat of the moment knew exactly what to do and when faced with a hurdle was obviously calm enough to improvise. If she hadn't done anything then maybe when the ambulance arrived they might not have been able to take him away alive. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow, she has done a wonderful thing preserving someone's life. Hopefully he will get well and maybe send thanks, that may then help her to coe to terms with it. If she doesn't sleep well on it then maybe chatting to someone who has been through it will help. Although I do not know your DD I am very proud of what she managed to do, there are so many people ready to look the other way that it is refreshing to here of someone doing such a selfless act.

    soappie - you have a very brave daughter I am first aid trained but fortunately have yet to ever deal with a serious incident and i think until you do you dont know how you will react.

    pigpen - it really doesnt rain but snow with you does it

    ebayers thanks for the heads up about this weekend i have 50 pics done just waiting to add so guess what i will be doing tomorrow.

    Have collected OH from his xmas lunch and other wise not done a lot tonight heading to bed now but may post my own list in the morning for the weekend to get things done.

    night all hope you have a good night.

    Not really posted today but I have been very busy. The bathroom is finished now at long, long last!!!:j:j

    Tomorrow I go and collect my new pretty bed!! :j:j Oh I so hope it's comfy!!

    Can I just pick you brains for suggestions -

    Works outing. Where do you suggest we go or what we should do!!
    There's an age range of me 38, 52, 57 - but a young 57 and 65. One doesn't want to go shopping. :rolleyes: One doesn't want to go to a panto:rolleyes: One does fancy bingo :rolleyes:

    Evening all

    I'm a bit out of the loop this week, not to say behind with the flying! Opera last night was good but I had a headache which didn't want to shift and was very tired. Had a bit of a lie in this morning (only til 7.30 but every little helps!)

    I got my blood test results and it's negative for coeliac disease, i'm really pleased about that. Have to go and see the Dr anyway to see if any intolerance showed up and with ttc it's good to chat with them anyway i think. I've been to the docs more times since I moved here than I did in five and a half years in my previous town!! I've just made an online appointment for Tuesday, 9.30am which is later than I'd like but only one with the Dr I really like and I've decided I work hard enough and have plenty of flexi time owing so I'll put myself first for once rather than work!

    Plan tomorrow is to do a walk, as long as it's not pouring down, we have 3 more walks to finish on the Thames path and the aim is to do it before the end of 2009.

    DH still very much behind us ttc, think as you all said it must've been a big wobble as he was thinking to much.

    Anyway, feel like I'm waffling, will try and catch up a bit and hope to get some more stars before the end of the weekend! Must hang up the bedding (last week's!) before bed and reload the wm for tomorrow.
