    Well, I'm here. Spent the morning avoiding the 'did you get spoiled yesterday' questions :(

    DH obviously knows I'm unhappy. There was a bar of posh choc on the dashboard when I got in the car. Too late was the cry :o

    I miss Pap too. Hope she's OK.

    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.

    a free big bag full of £20 notes please
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    I'm not bothered about being spoiled rotten. I just wanted them to wish me a happy mothers day. It was the dog's birthday the week before, and she got a huge fuss made, treats etc. Sounds dead trivial doesnt it, but I cant tell you how unbelievably hurt I am :(:cry:

    Not yet, but that will come. I havent seen him properly since early yesterday afternoon, he's in bed now.

    I had a copy of via-voice at one stage.....load of old tosh...spent longer correcting everything than it would have taken to type in the first place.

    It's now officially spring in this house, I cleaned the windows (only the insides mind you cos I'm not that daft) and put the Spring/Summer curtains back up in the living room......I also spent a lot of time in the garden looking at what needs doing but couldn't quite muster the enthusiasm to get in the shed and find some gardening gloves....it'll wait.
