    So my shortened excuse for a list today is:
    • Feed tadpoles.
    • Answer/clear 30 mins of emails
    • Ring SW re date
    • Ring OT about help
    • Drs appt.
    • Nurses appt.
    • Try and eat twice today and keep it down.
    • Brush the cat when she gets on the bed next to me.
    • Look up disabled hotel accommodation in Taunton

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    Well, to recap so far, are you sitting comfortably :) there are these 3 blokes, who all want to be in charge. So they asked every adult in the country to pick, and we couldn't :( So they've spent 4 days, with their chums, in smoke-less rooms trying to decide. They're meanies really, and won;t tell anyone what's going on, so the Journos need to keep making stuff up to sell papers. Are you zzzzzzzzzzzzzz yet :D
    Plus telling everyone that they are acting purely in our interests with no thought for themselves.
    (Plus one group suspect that leaving the others to clear up the mess while they sort themselves out might be a better plan)

    I'm not hooked on news24, but I have been tracking news bulletins on the radio - so no you are not the only interested one.

    Thanks girls... keep the updates coming and I might be able to pretend that I'm keeping myself informed :p:D

    Moam has very kindly alerted me to the BA strikes... need to sort out my flights so I don't end up stranded in the airport in Rome in the middle of the night next Thursday... my final flight of five in three days is BA :(

    Suppose I should get dressed and go for a run... i'll put the heating on when I leave as an incentive as it's SO cold here I might get frostbite when I get back...

    Morning all.
    Kids only up and i'm so late already, i'll get there when i get there. Need to waken Rhys and hubby and get Rhys ready. Then school run and brake pads.

    See you all later.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
