    :j:j Breaking news.:j:j

    Did anyone else know I had a living room table, a dining room table, and that there was carpet on the floor next to the sofa. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now I've just got to file the resulting foot high pile of paper.:eek:

    Anyone for a HHC at 0815?

    Morning all, kids up and fed. Need to get ready in a minute as DD has a physio appointment this morning. Must lift Rhys's new buggy while i'm in the town. Need to collect the washing off the line before it rains.

    Busy day yesterday and hubby went to hospital to stay for awhile, from talking to the CPN it could be a longish stay but i know he's in the right place. PIL due back today and don't know he's in so i don't know what way it will go.

    Right i best go get the washing in....
    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.
