    Thanks PG for your comments. :j

    I finished at 2pm today and was home about 3 hours earlier than normal. :)

    Came home to the washing up. :( DS had been told to do it but he spends hours playing stupid games on his PC. He doesn't think they're stupid. It may just be me getting old, but it does seem to be a waste of time. :(

    Nothing else to report today and it has been a LSD.

    I'm with you on the PC games, although thankfully my girls aren't interested. DD2 occasionally plays S!ms but that's about it thankfully. Did you do the washing up or did you make DS stop his game and do it for you ?

    Glad you made it home earlier, those few hours must have made quite a difference x

    Glad you made it home early and hope you made DS stop what he was doing and do the washing up.

    so sorry to hear things haven't been going well lately, you sound so fed up a lot of the time. Keep your chin up my Dear Mr B, you are such a lovely man, I'm sure things will come right in the end.

  • Hi Bonnington :)

    I watched a little of BGT the little girl who sang was fab as was the group that used shadows/screen to make a 'movie' type thing and the lady at the end that sang she was good :)

    I've just caught up and you seem to be having ups and downs (like we all do) and i'm glad that you ended on an up ;) i've had a few over the last few weeks. Kids and E numbers in chocolate do NOT mix!

    Have a great Sunday :)

    I'm reading bonnington.:):):):)

    Keep going mate. Sorry to hear about your hand. I would see the gp asap. You have been doing a lot recently ... pointing the outside house etc. Maybe it will go away if you rest it.

    Take care of yourself

    In my dreams Bonnington :):)

    I have re-read your post and realise you were talking about marathon runners rather than diary readers :):):):):) lol

    Couldn't run the length of myself most days. I stick to the walking or gardening.

    Can you phone on Tuesday for an emergency slot, sounds to me like your hand needs to be looked at ASAP x

    Hi Bonnington:)


    That is a great reduction. I would definitely recommend you to do the PAD.

    So many people on that thread are making small but steady steps to reduce their totals. A pound here and a pound there adds up.

    How is your hand today?
