  • Morning flygang,

    It's a great morning here - it's school admissions day - and after several minutes of pressing F5 we have been allocated the school we wanted!!

    So I think a celebratory breakfast will be onrder...

    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.

    MrsChaos but maybe its a bit better that he is staying in rather than going out on his own in a bad mood????

    Absolutely. It's only taken him most of his life to realise that you shouldn't spend money you don't have. We went to MrM's together (quite useful for him to see how much things cost), he carried the shopping inside and I unpacked. I had a quick supper and we went to bed with a bottle of wine. Wish all Fridays were like that. While he was at work I also tidied up the LR and made a start on the kitchen. For the first time I feel like I might actually win this battle, even though it will take a long time. I have told the kids that I won't consider having another cat until at least all floors are decluttered.
    Going to have a look at the list now. :D
