    morning!

    Gingerste - I was only thinking about you yesterday and the fact I hadn't seen you for ages - and then I miss you!!

    I'm another haggis fan - to anyone who hasn't tried it, it just tastes like very herby and peppery mince with some kind of bulking agent such as oatmeal - very MSE :D

    Very busy day today - loads to do :(
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Morning all-how are we today??WAYYY too much to read back on so just read a couplr of random pages..party plans coming along I see....have I missed owt important??
    Went to dinner at friends who we are going away with in Sept-and I very sensibly stopped at Sainsburys first as I knew it would be a boozy night, and bought some alcohol free lager/wine (last time we went for dinner there I ended up face down in the dessert...not a pretty sight!).SO what is happening today???Bit of tidying yp then a roast chicken sunday lunch here. DH has a cold-or rather "man-flu"...sigh....

    Morning. Dad's coming round today with my TV. I'm really nervous cos I know he'll have a go about things in the flat - furniture's not been put in it's right place cos I haven't finished buying stuff and deciding where it'll go, and he'll see a lot of stuff as 'lazy' - the duvet in the living room, the chair in the shower. Hopefully it wont be too stressful.

    Hope everyone has a good day.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Its your home Ames, if the duvet is in the living room then its because you want it there:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Ames when you've got what you want let me know and I'll come round and give you a hand hunny!

    *EDIT* we can go for some lunch too!

    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.

    Agree Louise, what's the point of doing it now when you'll just have to move everything again when the other stuff comes?
