    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I have a bag of chicken fillets in the freezer - BB Nov 2008 - should I defrost and cook for the dog, eat them ourselves, or chuck them?

    Morning all

    Thanks again for the Birthday wishes. We had a great time at Damon's and I had some great presents. The best one was from DH, it can only have come from him............... 4 numbers on the lottery :D

    I was making a party hat for W this morning, it's party day for them both today and then toy day tomorrow. They must be amongst the last to break up for Christmas.

    Busy wrapping the last few presents this morning and finishing the last of the cards.

    Hugs to all.

    it sounds like he needs a few months to come to terms with all that has happened/is happening in his life.

    My sister married on the rebound - I sat at the wedding and hoped it would work! It didn't!

    She is happily married now, but there was so much heartache and worry and stress and it took years to get over.

    My thoughts are with you at this time!
