    Seems like most people have been really busy today, just not with the flying!

    Sending out the positive thoughts all over, trying to ignore the broodiness (for babies and small animals, chiknins and the like) and still shifting various bags of cark from dark corners - I hope to move soon and I have no intention of paying someone to transport the crud from one address to the next!

    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Too right... I paid for stuff to be moved from my London house back to my parents, then from theirs to my current house... and then spent 10 years chucking most of it out...

    Enjoy :p:p:p

    (Oh... and you can't ignore the broodiness on this thread... if you do, someone is BOUND to draw it to your attention... ;))

    Greenbee, i'm only 31 so feel I have time yet and want to pay off my loan from years of riddiculous spending I did which I have now faced up to! We hope to have mortgage paid off in a year or so and my loan in 3 but I want to be free and comfy to make the "do I want to be a working mum or not" decision that is right at the time.

    At the moment I am contracting until Christmas but I panic already what I will do when that finishes - without too much info that's why I need good vibes for me as well as DSS
    It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

    Trouble is Greenbee - it's MY broodiness!!!!!
    [quickly beats pointless thoughts back with mental wooden spoon]


    ETA: but broody thoughts of adorable little kitty splats are rapidly receding as mog#1 has just crept on my lap without me noticing and has pulled a giant snag in my 36 hour old £50 Jumper!!!!!!!!!

    You're very brave to be contracting... I've never been able to convince myself that the increase in income is worth the reduction in security :o but then maybe that's because I'm single... lots of vibes heading your way...
