Enjoy the piggie!! And don't forget, alcohol is bad for your vocal chords(but not as bad as chocolate

Still working my way through the laundry. Looks like three more loads to do. Will try to get some ironing done this morning between bouts of work so that it doesn't accumulate - there are two duvet covers and lots of pillow cases lurking in there somewhere...
Better go and feed the WM and find some breakfast before Delia appears on the radio - I'll do my ironing while listening to her.0 -

pigpen - just take all the children's appt letters - that at least must be some sort of proof? and what about getting the doctor's letter when you have money next week - tell the uni it will follow - has to be worth paying for it if it lets you defer! And you will have a copy of the divorce papers soon too!

could do better - must try harder
Live each day as if its your last

Sorry I missed the visualisation last night, DH was out and DS & DD were in bed so I would have had peace and quiet to take part, hope it helped you Lady L, Toots, Diva & Tris.

On a lighter note, I got my blood tests back and they were normal so its just a normal cyst on my ovary, I have to be re-scanned in January to make sure it hasn't got any bigger :j

Good morning everyone and thankyou for all the kind and welcoming comments yesterday. This is day 2 in my quest for a clean and orderly house. Before I found you wonderful people the task was just overwhelming but it's now looking like something I can do. Anyway, I'm feeling all fired up and positive so I'm off to do some work. I'll post what I've achieved later.
