    Evening all,
    Big, big hugs to Mrs. M H takes a lot of courage to face things. But sometimes there comes a time where you are strong enough to confront a habit. I did that with smoking 2 years ago. I know that is not the same, but I believe you can reach inside yourself and find the determination and stubborness to be the winner. Sending you bucketloads of virtual determination and virtual stubborness, hugs, hugs, hugs, x
    Lots of hugs to all who need them. I am not totally up to speed with the thread but am aware of CG bless you and many hugs x.
    My moussaka worked really well. I knew that I would not feel like making it from scratch tonight and the plan paid off. The ragu heated through fine, the cold potatoes were easy to slice and so just slicing and cooking aubergines and layering up was just enough on a Friday evening. DW put on twice by DH bless him. DGKs had ragu with pasta and cleared their plates:)
    Hope you all have a good evening, Silver x
    PS J67 the glass of wine sounds like a very good idea:)


    RE, mrs MH.
    Well anyone really that is at a cross roads.

    Think this though.
    You gotta be before you can do, you gotta do before you can have!

    Think on that for awhile and see what comes to mind!

    i am pursuing a course of trying to get a tradesman who wants about a weeks work to give my flat in the uk a good going over--decorating and general diy-i want it done before i get home in the summer because i hate doing that kind of stuff on my holiday(plus i am diy hopeless)-it needs some tlc if i want to let it out or just enjoy being there without looking about at all the faults--i dont want to spend lots but know i cant expect it done for nothing!!!

    so my day off didn't really go to plan.

    The plan was OH had an interview in Doncaster, was going to drop me in town centre, was going to go to supercuts and get a hair cut.

    Got to Donny ok, lets just see where interview is, out the otherside of town.....hmmmm noticed that traffic back to town centre was backed up, not enough time to get me back, I got trashy mags to read and OH went off for interview...... 2 and a half hours later! HE GOT THE JOB so all my sitting in the car and finishing mags after an hour paid off

    am very proud of him tonight, its a completely different driving job to what he is used to, but there is security in it as apposed to him going in on a Monday and not knowing where he is going or even if he is going anywhere.

    Only hw today has been DW and WM, both have been emptied and refilled

    Stopped at pub for tea on way home as 1) celebrating the new job and 2) thanks for me for sitting in the car for most of the day lol

    Hope you are all having a good evening xxxxx
    whoever said laughter was the best medicine has clearly never tasted wine

    Stopped smoking 20:30 28/09/11 :D

    Well I would copy this on my scanner/printer and then post it back to her (she won't know you have a copy) saying sorry I cannot afford it.

    Think you are right about the age level of the book matching your DD.
