"I know that Prince Charming doesn’t come save me, we save each other and fight back to back against all comers that’s what marriage is to me. Nothing passive, no being carried off on a white steed, give me my own damn horse and lets ride into the sunset side by side." - Laurell K. Hamilton.0 -
I've decluttered a day at school. I was feeling really worried about comments from the kids - they're not always that nice - but I was pleasantly surprised. They all looked at me, eyes narrowed, said nicely 'What is wrong with your face?' I explained that I had to have some sun damaged skin removed. They asked if it hurt, and I said only the local anasthetic, and no- it didn't hurt now, but I felt very self conscious about it, then they just ignored it, and got on.I quite like them today;)
Thank you for all the good wishes, hugs, and the lovely hellebore hex etc. Much appreciated, if very little deserved.
Love and hugs, especially for lady-liberty, toots and lamewolf, and any other poorly flyladies who would like one, dippypud, I had that flu, and I still feel like I'm underwater. Mrs Chaos, hugs for you too. Stuff happens, it's only work.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
done picture rails and cleared off the mantelpiece - given the whole fireplace a coat of beeswax - its original to the house and is huge, edwardian and oak and has been a little bit neglected.......

will probably whizz the hoover round downstairs tomorrow now as I need to do some paperwork and knitting tonight, might try to stick some felt pads under the table and chairs as my DIY job, just need to find the superglue - nah.... I can't face it sorry, I've run out of puff today having been up since 5 am and stuck in the house with the kids waiting for a delivery!0
