Hex I didn't mean to suggest anything other than that you have experience of a man with "baggage":o I'm very sorry if I have offended you, I wouldn't do that intentionally for the world.

greenbee how are things in the light of day?

Grateful -I knew that! You didn't offend me in the least - sorry if I gave you the impression I had.

I always said I wouldn't get inolved with someone with baggage too, but I also didn't believe in love at first sight and all that

I also wasn't having children :cool:.

I was clearly kidnapped by an alien!

Yay,

Mum had a key and a bit of wiggling I managed to squeeze my little car out past the teleporter. Of course, doing the breath in thing which makes no sense in a car but hey its like ducking when you see a bird coming at you when your driving.

Have apologised to mum for being such a grumpy moo too which she was fine about. Phew!

Therefore, today I will be going into town, hopefully picking up some of those last christmas bits so maybe I can start wrapping some up tomorrow. Have a few deliveries still to come but its looking organised. Oh and I need some groceries too that should be fun, haven't been in a supermarket on a saturday in years!

Ok going to get my hat, gloves and scarf.. coats in the car. Woooo I am getting out the house first time since last weekend.

Hugs - greenbee and 'strength to cope' vibes.

As we have had no more snow for a couple of days decided to start clearing path towards garage.
Just about to step out when I realised the cleared slabs round the front door looked very VERY SHINY :eek:
I have icicles which have been dripping down on to the slabs and then frozen into a pool of ice overnight:eek::eek:

Now well salted and will leave for a bit before I venture out - feeling very guilty about the paper man when he delivered this morning:o
