    Had a good day today, although am exhausted now; last night I found out some stuff to do with the case and I was then wide awake til gone 2 this morning thinking it all through ... ds then woke me up at 6.15, so am tired today :o We got up and went out early on our bikes today in the forest, it was a gorgeous morning and lovely and quiet. We cycled about 6 miles before 9am :j :jthen went round to mums for brekkie :)

    After that we helped her empty out her garden pond (she's having the garden redone this week), then played tennis in the garden, soaked ds with the hosepipe, cleaned out the guinea pigs, had roast pork and finally made it home about 20 minutes ago. Off now for a hot bath and then a very early night :D

    The closer its getting, the more I'm verring towards not attending. Obviously if I'm called then I will have to, but apparently that is now unlikely, although I will phone this week to find out for sure. Part of me really wants to go and listen in the public gallery, just to know what really happened, and for ds sake, but another part of me doesn't want to know their business or to have to see their family/friends :cool: :cool:

    I will however get back on track, hopefully once its all done and i can then get stress levels back to a fairly normal level, then I will try and be good again :)
