    Lol.. possibly, but I would like her done at the same church as the others... it'll sort I suppose.

    I fully understand where you are coming from, I wanted to have my Church wedding blessing in the family church where I was confimed, (my mother is now buried there) but the then vicar refused, being so much younger then, I let it go and we went to the next town, and even after all these years (and yes I do know I am divorced) but still big time niggles at me, and what you are going through just brings it all back. I so wish I had flying friends to poke me back then so go again and explain my point.

    But in those days there was not the internet, and the information that is now available, plus sites such as this where folk are from such different backgrounds and walks of life, someone some where can advise you / or knows where you can get information from.

    Fedup yay! Those pods look brilliant
    1step ((hugs)) I am sure things will get better soon, have to shake the BDs off and hold our heads up don't we

    Well DP has gone to work, unsure how long for. See this is where my financial plan comes unstuck as no work = no pay and we did 5 weeks without a beam last year which had a huge impact. I don't blame the bosses in a way as there was so many claims the insurers tried to wrigggle out of paying so not worth risking. I do feel like my legs have been cut off as he has my car. I got caught in a right blizzard earlier but I am so much calmer than I used to be driving in snow.

    Plans for tonight are warm my feet which are still little blocks of ice at the end of my legs and some tidying/cleaning. Oh I best feed DS1 too.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    No flying today as back won't allow it. But we did completely clean downstairs yesterday and I have decluttered some more old clothes away to a new home via a swap at the town hall.

    I didn't get my rag rug finished in time for the sale so I have been told I can do it for next year :) I should finish by then. The snow kept people away so it is no loss to the fund.

  • Good evening :beer: DH is safely home, and all the range of chilli provends he brought back arrived safely :) Juts as well he packed them carefully, as any spillage would have been painful to clear up :eek:

    Minimal flying today (which is how it should be ;) ). DH and I have been for a long walk in the snow and planned our Festive Holiday. I now have a list of people to ring to invite over for drinks, meals and a party _party_

    I've bought my car insurance (got a goodish deal - thanks to all who helped me on the Insurance board - update there :A ), and bought a pair of sheepskin boots online - hope they arrive before the cold weather departs ;)

    Going to light a fire, then bimble for a while before Strictly :hello:

    Opps fell asleep on the sofa, did manage to sort the livingroom out first so it's looking good for now. Rhys now up from his snooze, hubby still snoozing on chair, kids watching a movie.

    Still feeling tired but need to get on with stuff. Kids want to go to the youth club tonight but i really couldn't be bothered. Ah well i'll see how it goes.

    Right now to shift me bum and sort the wm again. :D

    Mummyyof5 what a lovely photo.
    Soappie great to see ya back hon.
    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.
    :j :j
