    Evening. Flying visit. First day back at work, jolly busy and lots of enquiries coming in. Had a workshop all day yesterday too, so no rest for the wicked LOL. Going to chill out with a glass of wine and a good book for a bit and have an early night I think.

    Dont stress Jo-you'll only end up grabbing the biggest packet of biscuits and ramming them all down your throat coz you are that hungry!! Just have whatever you fancy-or what about a bowl of cereal?

    Hi Munchki-no luck with the man and van hire? glad the interview went well-fingers crossed!

    Sorry, don't know how to shorten it! There is a list and luckily for you, they prefer their calls of an evening becasue they aren't driving :D Rates are normally about £30 per hour with a man to help load/unload/drive, so you can work it out roughly how much it will be, you can get it for £5-£10 per hour if you drive yourself, but you are one less on the lifting, we loaded moved and unloaded an entire house in 2 hours, so don't panic too much!

    Jo - thankyou for your words of wisdom earlier, don't know why I didn't think of asking your perspective on it before, you have an uncanny knack of knowing, explaining and making things seem like they will be ok! am working on a plan, which should hopefully keep me going for another month or two until my next mini breakdown (they happen on a regular basis). I will get there eventually, but with 2 small kiddies, I know it is a long way off, that time that I can be me for a little bit, just gets to me sometimes.

    As for wishing you lot lived closer, I second that, a cuppa and a natter would be lovely, especially with people who accept you for who you are, with none of the judgements that you get from others. Although I would try and tidy up, the reality of me would be grab a box and excuse the mess!

    NLID - how do I find your wotsit if I don't understand twitter?

    Mabel - tried to PM you back, but tooter keeps dropping out, so I gave up!

    Nikki - PM me your address and I shall send it for you. You are welcome btw

    Dilli - tried your questions and I don't very much like the answers, but it has given me something to work on!
