    Piggers -great minds think alike then!!! Gawd I hate all this "she's getting this so I want this" malarkay, I've always tried to stop it but it's XH's way of shutting them all up! Will have to think up a cunning plan where everyone thinks they are getting EXACTLY what they want! Yours and Ds's GF story (wrong word I know but can't think of another one) is soo sad, but has/will make you/her stronger people in the end too.

    I just want everything nicey nicey cos that's they way I am! But everything that's thrown at me I have dealt with rightly or wrongly depending on who is looking at the time, you learn by your mistakes as well don't you?

    And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.. :D

    I've eaten supper... cleared up some more, but the kitchen is still a work in progress (as is the sitting room - everything is on the coffee table). My brother has just left a voicemail saying he could come over for supper on wednesday to drop some stuff off. Can I get away with just giving him soup (if I go to the shop and buy some nice bread) and cheese?

    It also means I'll have to get downstairs tidy AND do the floors (if nothing else) by wed pm... I can see I'll be busy tomorrow! God only knows when i'm actually going to get any work done!

    well a good start to the week if I do say so myself.
    GC: £400/ £0
  • The bloomin calendar is sorted - filled in as much as possible (can't do schools past summer as no idea where he'll be going yet), nail banged in and its up. Now perhaps everyone will use it and I'll not get anymore surprises over well I am in X,Y,Z on that day...

    Nattered to parents re the white stuff in their part of the world, which has upset family plans again (rescheduled from before Christmas becuase of said white stuff!) - maybe we'll go for 2011?? Have a funeral and logistics problem next week - we'll see nearer the time if it will be possible or not to go. Hope so but rather depends.

    List is now - not sure how much more I can cross off tonight but will keep busy on it,

    [STRIKE]library - find & return books [/STRIKE](found but not open until tomorrow)
    p.mag - issue invoices, start 2009 accounts (in year is done - need to add on last 4 months)
    nct - sort garage bits, update treasurer, get out NNS lists & make a date for planning meeting, speak to HS, RBC forms up to date?
    DS's bedroom (clothes try on, new lamp, change bedding, hoover)

    Moam
    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.

    Decs - just the tree left now, rest is boxed up but the tree is staying another day, we all like it too much.

    Time for a list update and an early night reading I think.
