    Did everything except extras today and will try to catch up with those tomorrow.

    They are extras.. they don't 'have' to be done.. just ideas for if you are on a roll.. everything comes back round so either sack them off or slot them in to replace jobs from other lists you don't need to do or have already done.

    Ms Jelly.. 20% is huge.. if that was lottery odds, even I'd buy a ticket.. Stay positive.. you never know.. big hugs for you all and flying mule healing vibes for your dad.. to kick out those bad gers and make him strong again.. You are all in my thoughts.

    Greenbee part of taking responsibility in many things is allowing a person time to become their own person and independant. I've just had a simila conversation with friends who have split up, he says he's trying to be there for her but actually he's getting in the way of the time she needs to heal

    Helen Jelly my thoughts are with you and your family, big hugs for your Dad too x x I totally agree with what pigpen has said, stay positive, we were told that so many time with Grandad and he bounced back time and time again, being sent in to say goodbye to a man who wouldn't make it through the night to find the tinker who was saying to the nurse he needed her to be closer so he could see how well her frock fitted her lovely figure x x

    I'm off to bed soon so will say goodnight to you all, about the only thing I have managed to declutter tonight is food which is doing my diet no good at all. Oh and a presentation for tomorrow I should have emailed someone weeks ago, oops x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning All,

    Hugs, spoons and sticks for those in need,

    My back is really achy today, so I am up and have decluttered some painkillers.

    Now for a cup of tea and some brekkie.

    I agree with you on this one, and I hope that this will come out of his counselling. Its really difficult for me to say anything on this unfortunately. He's been pretty down recently, and had his first counselling session yesterday - and of course, that doesn't solve anything, just provides more questions to answer which I'm not sure he was expecting, even if he knew that was the logical outcome!

    I'm awake... CBA to get up and do anything though (DW and washing up could be tackled). So I'm going to do a bit of work first, then clear up and sort out breakfast as I have to feed my dad :)

    Morning All

    Thinking of you Helen - lots of healing vibes been sent to your dad.

    HHI done, soup made - prepped last night but didn't have time to actually cook it, WM & TD on.

    Need to take Jerry to the vets tonight so not sure how long that'll take.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
