    OH gone now....house tidy, washing done...dinner eaten and dishwasher stacked.

    OH left 11 years ago, house a tip, washing in a heap in the bedroom, dominos being eaten, dishwasher emptied.

    If any of you play facebook card/gems type games can you send me some free points when the option thing comes up pleeeeease? And if anyone's sick of me sending them to you then just let me know and I'll stop.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Just got rid of some stuff on freecycle. My daughter gave away her Buffy videos and is now really upset they have gone. She has got the complete set on DVD now but had bought the box sets one at a time as she could afford them, so it was hard for her to let them go now.

    I am pleased because they were taking up so much room!

    She got into an argument with someone by email who got upset they had been given to someone else. This lady emailed to say she wanted them, so Jade emailed her to say yes, then didn't hear anymore from her, so she moved onto the next person.
