    I will :A , Just get frustrated when I have to stop what I'm doing cause my back decides it doesn't want to work :(.

    Well do easy jobs first like form filling etc, to give my back a rest from the cleaning.

    Right off to get dressed then get some washing on the line

    Really like the idea of a "Life is tough but you are tougher" blog - I'd subscribe.

    Sat here enjoying the peace & quiet but need to shake a leg and bring some order to this house.

    Ready, steady, oop....

    Bitsy - have you phoned the dvla? My ex did about a car over the road (was well out of date, not just a late one) and they came the next day... :D

    Am considering it. It shouldn't be parked there in the first place which in itself is annoying and if they've done a SORN for it they ought to buy a house with a drive instead of a maisonette :( Sorry for the mini rant, bit of a bugbear for me :o

    No frost last night but a risk of one again tonight. Typical I get planting out and here comes to frost <sigh>

    Off to look at fabrics this morning, here's hoping they're not really expensive or I'll have to resort to buying on line.


    As for patience well sometimes I have it sometimes I don't. I think it's linked to my hormones/tiredness levels :rotfl:

    Morning Matrix! I am back at work this morning... and you know what? I am enjoying the return to normality again. I have lots of stuff to crack on with and I seem to have the energy to do so. Which is a nice change from having the "return to work" blues! :D

    I also made a decision yesterday - I have stopped playing facebook games. Not only were they beginning to be a waste of money (you are only able to finish this task or that task when you buy tokens or something... bloody cheek!) but also a waste of that precious resource, time. So... I have removed and blocked lots of games. Makes my facebook page easier to manage... and I will now have time to go and do other things. Like garden, crochet, cook, the chores, read etc. Better for me all round! :)

    Re Patience. I have a wicked temper. I only lose it very occasionally, and that is because I have had to cultivate patience. The way I did it? Counting to 1,000 mostly. If you lose your way, then you have to start again. Seriously, I am never angry for more than a minute, and I have never got beyond 500! :) Simple, but may not work for everyone.

    Right... off to the coalface again. Lots of positivity to you all.

    I blockedfb games a little while ago. Good decision.

    It seems that the power supply in my work PC is broken, so î am waiting (patiently) for a new one.

    So much work. I wonder how many emails x

    I have done this too - although the children are both on Club Penguin and *make* me play that to get them coins, but it's a limited thing. Not playing the fb games was a surprising relief!! :)

    :) I would be tempted to phone - if they have SORN'ed it then it shouldn't bother them (although they shouldn't have it on the road as you say).

    I am bothered by those not paying certain things that it is the law to pay - small bugbear of mine lol!! :)

    Just discovered that DS2 won't be going to Primary school in 2012 but in 2013 instead ..................


    .................. and actually I am excited to have my wee man at home with me for another year:D

    ............... my Best Friend has asked me if I am devastated????

    ......... erm!!!! nope;) Actually I think sending boys to school when they are a bit older is a really good idea. Mind you I like my boys and she is having a challenge with a teenage son and peri-hormonal girlie at the moment so her Mummy Goggles are all steamed up:rotfl:

    Now I have two years of "adventures" to plan for :j

    It will be nice for you to still have a little one at home a good bit of the day when DS1 goes to high school. If they both went off at the same time I think that would be a wrench.
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!
