    Everyone fed here, i'm now going armed with bin bags to clear the boys room. I may be some time. :eek:

    Need to get the dw reloaded again and hubby can sort Rhys for bed. Football on tonight so i'll get on with the list later. :D

    onestep i'd love to pull her out but i don't want her missing any of her schoolwork and she wouldn't want to miss it. I'm hoping that in 2 weeks the whole thing will be over with, never know maybe sooner. :D

    Kazw they could do with a couple of courses then maybe they won't find a hole and stick their head in it waiting for everything to go away.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well after a long and stressful day at work I am finally home, phew!!

    I have washed up, folded the washing, rebooted the laundry, tidied the living room and now am about to cut OH's hair!!!

    Planning an early night (just for a change LOL)
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Busy day again but I came home, cleaned two loos, put the WM on, beef casserole in the oven and scrubbed out the veg rack.

    Hugs for all those in need, especially Vanilla

    DD2 stressing about photography coursework again! And she's planning on not dropping it next year.....(more desperate to drop Sociology or English!)

    So has anyone any ideas on how what we could photograph for a title 'Evidence of human presence?'

    She has ruled out spillages/party debris as mates are already doing them....

    overflowing rubbish / tips

    detritus on water in harbour / river

    roadkill

    shadows and / or skyline silhouette

    cars / people from ankle veiw point...like a forest.. maybe with mist / exhaust etc

    ETA don't drop English, in some Uni courses it is a requirement

    Oh dear, that's not great. Do you feel stronger now he is ex?
    it's still very hard - it's going to take time to work things through. Assuming i don't book him a one-way trip to siberia instead of the travel I've been trying to sort out....

    what about some contrasting images - something where human presence enhances nature and something where it is damaging? Or any landscape - in this country however 'natural' it looks it is likely to be created by humans.

    Boring work conference going on. Haven't made much progress clearing up upstairs. Have filled log baskets and coal bucket. Kindling is soggy :( so lighting the fire was hard work - I'd better try to keep it going now!

    I MUST get the place tidy enough tonight to be able to just run the hoover round and mop the floors tomorrow.
