    Easter plan is an Ostara plan for us :) Need to find some spring foods to eat :) Poopydawgs already have special doggy eastereggs :) cos I'm a soft touch :rotfl:
    And I need to design the cake. DH wants chicks on it (fluffy type, not the type in bikini's) will have to make trip into town for coloured icing. I'm thinking cover it with fondant - add some tylo to the yellow and try and mould them with chocolate crispy nests and mini eggs?

    House smells nice, bedsheets were on the line until it started spitting so they're inside making the hallway smell like outside, yum!

    grateful I understand frustration about being tired. I have that t shirt, I am afraid but don't worry about moaning about it. Sometimes letting it all out helps. It is more tiring feeling frustrated and not being able to talk about it.

    About your friend's wedding: I would go for a short while. In the past I would avoid going out but now I go for as long as I feel able and figure that friends and family will understand and if they don't I no longer care. You have a pretty good excuse for not being able to manage being there for long. Do what feels right for you. :)

    Thanks.

    On our census there were 3 people here last time, this time there are 3 but not the same 3 :( and I HATE filling in marital status on anything these days. In my mind I am still married but I was a good girl and put the technically correct answer.

    Hugs, and that puts all the other problems in context.

    Thanks for the replies about the wedding everyone, and that is one gorgeous Basset.

    Decluttered a two and a half hour snooze, and then just caught puppy creeping upstairs to do a poo, one nil to me:rotfl:
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    I didn't think you could fill it in till after the 27th March as you don't know who is in your house on that night, or have I misunderstood this?

    Happy Birthday Cycling Yorkie and Artichoke

    I have hoovered downstairs, and put the recycling out. Urgently need to get the WM and TD on, and feed the boys before taking them to martial arts but I have no energy left. Tempted to take them to the chip shop :o but I am trying to help DS1's challenging behaviour via his diet so not an option.
