    Quick question:-

    What kind of time does the new thread go up? I'm trying to stay awake so that I can read tomorrows list and go to bed thinking positive thoughts about what order to do things in instead of negative thoughts about DH leaving...

    I've had a rather miserable weekend so I'm going full out on the proper lists as of tomorrow to distract myself!

    ZCC, great to see you back, how are you chick? On the isle of man aren't you?

    Mrs B, I hope things are ok. That BD is terrible isn't it for causing friction. x

    Valli, well done on your ebaying, I must get back into that

    Well, today's been quite good. DH has had a terrible headache so I went to my Bible meeting on my own this morning (sat in the car for ages when I got there trying not to run away, but went in eventually!), and then I collected a cheque, had a nap, and have spent the rest of the afternoon and evening tidying and washing up. Have just sorted through some bags of gibble, and put some clothes away and taken jumpers out of the cupboard to put somewhere else. Not sure where yet, but will find a place for them.

    I've just bullied DH into going to do some tidying, I feel mean but he doesn't do it when he feels well, and now he's ill but we have a flat inspection tomorrow so I want him to clear up some of his stuff.

    Oh heck, DH got up to tidy and managed to kick something, he's now clutching his tootsies and whimpering. Maybe it will make him forget his headache...

    sshh... don't let pigpen know that. She NEVER gives us anything she thinks might be easy at the beginning of the week. You have to make sure she knows that your bathroom is a health hazard and you've been putting it off....
