  • longtermlurker - you have done well today - good for you:T:T - just a little tip - don't put too many things on your extras list - be very realistic as to what you will achieve - if you list too many you might get down-heartened if you don't complete them all - better to have just a small amount and do them all (you can always find another extra if you get through a list!!!)

    Morning everyone, hope you are all ok. Day 2 of proper posting to keep me on the clean and tidy wagon.

    Thanks toots. I have tried to list easy extras and they are for the week but I may have been a bit optimistic:o Hope you are ok. x

    cyclingyorkie hope your ohs dad is ok. Sending positive vibes.

    Natty. I found 2 of the french vanilla tart things in a draw at the weekend and they are heading for the charity bag. I didn't know people liked them that much:eek: Good luck for your appointment. x

    Lamewolf I hope your ulcers are getting better. I use anbesol on mine and its great.

    Just having a coffee then I will get started.

    Hubby now away until 4 so i'm gonna get breakfast and then start in the livingroom. Called in to get DD's bedside cupboards and they will be ready after 4.:j Another thing off the list.:D
    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.

  • Morning all - just checking in before driving lesson - it's parallel parking day :(

    In the past 24 hours, I have been called by

    The weekend Bloke :)

    The Mad Ex with The Convoluted Lovelife - for moral support because another one of his women has said some quite cruel things about him - the sort of thing that (IMO) wasn't true :D, and even if it were, it would be a sackable offence to say so. I think at the end of the conversation, he may have proposed to me again. But that's just his insecurities making him want to go to the next female around.

    and

    The Very Old Friend from Primary School turned up at the music studio to take me out for a drive, a quick half in the pub and a chat about his life and kids and Mrs.


    ?????????????????????????????????????????

    What in blue blazes is going on?????
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Just decluttered the council tax for this month so i'm down £127.:eek:. Nearly died looking at the price.
    Hoovered the front room and made the kids pick loads of stuff up so the now the place is decluttered and looking cleanish.
    Paid for a family railcard, so it looks like the children will be going down south for a week with they granny.

    Going to go upstairs and sort stuff out again x

    P.S good luck with lesson jo and lots of posi vibes cyc's dad x
