  • Sleep well Pooky.
    I am fed up too and thinking of bed to get today out of the way.
    Are these challenges or dreams? We need to think of them as challenges I think - we are strong people, we have proved ourselves and so we will be what we dream we are.

    Who said your dreams can't become reality bookie!!!!

    If anyone had ever said to me five years ago that I would have my own successful practise today I would have laughed in your face...

    today has proved that my dream is reality!

    No. She says she has nothing to give me for tea and no wine but I am welcome! I had my dinner early and had wine to take. Missed my lift now so never mind.
    2 hurts in 2 days - roll on tomorrow.

    Hasn't she done this a few times now, I think you need to tell her how it's making you feel.

    Bookie - your DD's need a bit of a talking to! :mad:

    Car wise, DH is looking at a Vauxhall Zafira Elite - it's big enough to get his whizzy wheels in the back when the seats are down which would be fantastic.

    Contacted the council about getting a disabled parking bay outside the house and they're sending us out the application forms....don't think our neighbours will be happy but hey-ho!

    My social worker's going to arrange for one for me (after the original twunty social worker said they don't do them anymore :mad:). I was warned though that anyone with a blue badge can park in them. I agree about neighbours, one of mine doesn't like me parking on the road, but I've got the right permit and she doesn't even have a car!

    Scaredy, was it you who mentioned the kit kat ad? I don't like the ad, and until you said it I had no idea what it was advertising so it's obviously not working on me!

    I'm back from the theatre (Billy Liar), had a great time. I had dinner there before the show and the cast sat next to me, I was totally oblivious though!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • yeah, Ames, it was me.... it just seems so stupid for advertising a choc biscuit.
    Cats don't have owners - they have staff!! :D:p

    This is my list
    • I have some bloody peace for just once
    • I have a job that I actually like and not one that I think I should stick with because i have done it for the past 10 years
    • I am working no more than 16 hours a week
    OK so work is utterly pants at the moment and today I dont want to be a teacher anymore, or an accountant because I just hate business/accounts and anything remotely connected with either.

    I want to open a cattery and look after little puddy tats all day long.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • No Ames, it's DD1 who is a little bit up her own backside at times.
    Just been FB chatting to DD2 - I think she has had as long a rubbish day as me and you get to the stage when you just can't be bothered. She is usually lovely. I am just a bit grumpy I guess!
    Going to bed now - who knows what tomorrow will bring. Lovely things for all mse'ers I hope.
