    I may go home to bookshelves in my sitting room. I have had a hideous day, and have three gazillion things to do.

    Friday's List

    load of washing on airer
    feed smalls
    shout at carpenter for putting shelves in wrong place/not putting in shelves
    drink wine

    eta read that back and I sound like such a spoiled brat.

    toots and LL HUGS

    de nattom married couples tax allowance - a good thing if you are already married, would it induce you to get married? No probably not. Will it make people less likely to divorce? No probably not. Will it have a big impact on the family? As so many people cohabit now, no, probably not. Can the government afford to repeat it? No, probably not!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Love and hugs to everyone
