    Good morning everyone,
    Well flying was suspended while we got on with painting the LR which now looks ACE after it's first paint in at least 15 years. Have to get on and fly today with some sugarsoap for the woodwork in there, and then reassembling the room so it's habitable. Next room to be done is DD2's in Lilac of course! In the meantime, I've one huge curtain in the bath, and another one waiting to go in. Again, not washed/dry cleaned for at least 15 years and :eek: the colour of the water!!!!
    Lots of hugs to those who need them.

  • Good morning, hope everyone is ok. Lets see what I can get on with this morning before going to Zumba at 11. Going to go to Mr T after to see if they have the 3 bird roast in today. If not I think we will have turkey for xmas dinner.

    I am off to see Scissor Sisters tonight! Really looking forward to it. Went to see Madness last week and they were great!

    Am not in a good mood today as its been 2 months today that the KH last saw DD. It's been almost a month that he emailed me asking if I could bring DD down to see him. I said I didn't have petrol and could his girlfriend not drive 10 miles to drop him over sometime. Not heard back from him since. He says he has no money for the bus but posted on the bus companies' fb that he is taking the bus from his gf's house to town. Says he has no credit on his phone and no money to get any to ring DD but manages to update his fb from his mobile. Just over a week to Christmas and have heard nothing. DD has stopped asking about him now. But I bet she is upset. She is only 4 but already realises a lot of things. I feel so sorry for her. I so want her to have a normal father who actually cares.

    Sorry for the moan.

    Hugs to anyone that needs them!

  • Morning All,

    Hope we are all warm and dry. It is raining heavy here and ever so cold but at least it is not snowing, the man can get thru rain tomorrow easy enough but snow won't be good.

    Today I am going to do combine the jobs for the rest of the week, the man is allergic to cats and mine sleeps in my bed(cat) so it makes sense to do that tomorrow and not today. Unless I want a sneezy man and I don't think I do.

    soooooo;
