    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.

  • Well the chrimbo pressie list, and shoe sorting is done.

    I thought I was about done for Chrimbo gifts but it appears I am not. Still got another 8 things to buy... thanks FCC for that reminder otherwise I would not have realised!!

    STILL snowing heavy here - Dad has taken mum to the shop to get some bits in in his 4x4 so I have put in a mini order for bread, eggs and a pizza lol. I am craving one for some reason. Going to bake later as I have no nice sweet things in and unusually I am really fancying sweet treats.

    Ok going to do a HHC now while dancing to the local radio station.

    Morning all

    Bit of snow here but not enough to close the schools.

    A friend has been in for a chat and a cuppa but I need to get a start now. Putting the heating back on and then a HHC made tidy round to warm up before I do some sitting down jobs.

  • Well, sorted out all the laundry in my 51 minutes, then fed baby, so he is full and has been tickled so is gurgling in his chair. I'm off to have a quick wash and get dressed, get DS1 dressed and then a HHC at 11 to get the kitchen S&S'd if anyone wants to join.
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    have cleared my car *in case* I have to go out tomorrow.
    been to pay paper bill - one lone car in car park causing MUCH amusement as he had driven in but couldn't drive out. We have SLIGHT inclines here but they defeat many cars - mine included - and my neighbour had problems too, and the son of across-the-road. Plumber walked to my house from main road and then went home, having told me he could NOT get close...don't mind really, hadn't expected him to show at all TBH
    However, he now has a key so I don't need to make sure someone's here to let him in next time.

    Have stuck jacket spuds in oven for lunch and need to go for milk, so we're walking to the co-op shortly. Now what to wear - hiking booots or wellies? *rubs chin and is deep in thought*

    Then I will get on with something...

    Good morning!

    I got a bit of a dilemma and wonder if you lovely people would give me some advice about it.


    Sorry to hear this, but, FWIW, he hasn't starved to death, has he? So he isn't completely without money. Just not money to put towards seeing your DD.

    ETA: and then all he would have to do is sign on at the dole office and he'd get money, just not quite as much as he is used to getting.

    Ugh. Cold white stuff has reached mine now. The fluffy cat with the furry toes has decided that it is a nasty joke on my part and is currently stomping up and down the stairs to and from the back door.

    Better go, sounds like Fluffzilla is on her way down again.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Jojo.. one of mine was standing on 2 legs in the garden yesterday flicking the other 2 feet.. it was most amusing.. They keep putting heads out of cat flap huffing and coming back in.. then they get grumpy and squabble with the other furries..

    I am dressed.. I am so pleased my thermal hug me fits!

    I have 3 ebay items to package and then I must eat..
