    Glad it was useful. Hope this is one of your better days

    I've had quite a nice day - mango, grapes and strawberries for brekkie, then church, dinner meal of sausage beans and mash and then have made soup. Packed and unpacked the dishwasher. Thought about exercise... that must count for something right? Read a book I bought DS for his birthday - LOL Now watching Alice in Wonderland DVD with DD. Third lot of washing in.... OH had a nice sleep - typical!

    I am SO PLEASED that the results were so good. :j:j:jIt has made my day and made me more determined to actually do something with my time rather than not. So thanks for that.

    Thanks SH and Chev.

    I've been in bed since Saturday, really feeling unwell but it's getting better now, no sickness or pain meds required yet today.

    Had lots of juice and will eat something solid in a bit.

    Hope everyone's having a good week.

    Back and raring to go (well almost, sort of) :p

    2 Big jobs this week.

    Firstly to persuade ex-OH to go home to England. His sister wants to take him in. He's miserable here and can't afford to live here as he refused to sell out his portion of the flats. Again it's a case of he wants it all, but unfortunately he's now meeting the big world pipers and they want paying! Going down with my dad to see him later, we're going to volunteer to pay his moving expenses in the hope that may see him go!

    Secondly I have to do the shop accounts so that my end-of-year assessment can go in by the end of the month. Very very remiss of me, so will get large hinney into gear!

    Updates to follow on both soon. Dropped another pound on Friday but last of Christmas goodies should have added that and a few new friends on by next week :o

    Oh and just a wee aside, Lawyer Boy still not talking at all. Obviously I really amn't worth the effort :mad:
