    I'll join you in a HHI - could do with getting rid of this lot before I add to it overnight.

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    onestep - I bought ovenmate from Aldi at the weekend. Not seen I cheaper anywhere else.

    Ju - well done, you're on a roll tonight! Going to work now until 11pm, then (for me) an early night.

    ajmoney - Sorry to hear your news. Hope you and OH manage to sort things soon.

    Work seems to be going from bad to worse. Some really good people are seriously considering quitting teaching. I might have to put my plans/100 day challenge on hold as I can't cope with both main parts of my life in turmoil.

    Best be off now.
