    Online food shop done - order this week 25% off next week and with DS3 home sick that is very handy for me this week. Free delivery too.

    Time for a cuppa next and then on to the family room for HHC before my next lot of paperwork.

    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.

    Eeeks am going to brave the weather as I have to go to the library..it's blowing a gale here and is very dark. But I am grateful that I don't have drifting snow like shysarah:eek:

    Thank you for the words of support everyone, was starting to think that we were going to have an easy November..if anything major happens to us it normally happens in November! But two whammies, and then the dogs lump on his tail..:eek: Still they say things come in threes and at least I can breathe knowing that nothing else could happen (well I hope not!), oh and mums anniversary at the end of the month but that is just a day of reflection and crying.. Still they say what doesn't break you makes you stronger, thank gods I am on my meds is all I can say.. I just wish DH would show some signs of anything but he is taking it on the chin like he normally does. Never mind I am just glad that I am there for his mum, must remember to take time out for myself though otherwise I will end up being ill too. Eeeps enough of that sad stuff as I know there are others going through the same or worse stuff on here, so no more maudlin from me :)
