    Been out for lunch (greasy spoon type cafe, it's fab I had a jacket potato with beans and cheese, DH had a bacon and sausage roll in a lovely crusty roll, plus a large orange juice and choc milkshake for dh and it was only £7.50), got a few bits from Sains and am now reading on the bed. DH is playing on ps3 and is going to do some flying after that.

    2 annoying things have happened today though: i collected my craghoppers parcel from the shop downstairs, one thing is missing, but the despatch note says it is there so I bet they will make me pay, and nothing fits :( their stuff is made for giants, even the short length is far too long. Grrr. And secondly, the woman from the shop then came round and said that there's a leak, looks like our washer is leaking through the floor. Came back and found a little bit of water on our floor too. :( Have emailed the agent but it's bound to be more hassle!

    L-L - chin up honey - what comes around goes around so deep breath and remember he's your EX KH for a reason and you are the better person in all this.

    Rosepink - where are you, I like reading your posts cos you always make me smile, you always post such lovely things

    Toots - hope you are ok

    Diva - thoughts still ongoing for Tris and Michelle and.....you

    I have just deep cleaned a couple of worktop, tiles and chucked all the minging little things that creep behind bread bins etc [also scrubbed the bread bin, yuck] Half the kitchen is now beautiful so better get my bum in gear and sort the other half
