    I think I drowned my mojo when I had a bath earlier.

    Cheese and biccies and pickles for tea - with a nice cold glass of white - was lovely.

    DD's loaded the dishwasher without being asked - that always makes me worried. :cool:

    Now off to bed to keep DH company until his meds kick in and he's in the land of nod.

    Must remember to get the turkey out of the freezer tomorrow to defrost too - eeeeeekkkkk I need a plan of action.

    i used to defrost my turkey in the bath, ~Pooky. It is the coldest room and i could shut the door so the cats wouldn't get at it!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Just put Jess to bed, I've invited one of her little friends round on Wednesday when I'm off work, planning to take them to see The Chipmunks squeakual - she's very, very excited.

    Hey Luc, you feeling better hun?

    Not really. Considering a visit to the docs but don't want more pills to take...

    Luc, somehow I don't think you'd beat my array of tablets :) but, if you think it'll help, what's one or two more tablets a day? Gotta be better than nothing, and it never hurts to try.
