    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning, sun is shining and without the mugginess (not sure that's a real word :rotfl:)

    Off to see mum and do some gardening tasks, take her shopping and sort out £ things for her. Mr T and DS will be busy in the garden for her, whilst I'm whizzing her about.

    Absolutely no pennies in any account to TT :eek:

    Salmon and parsley sauce was fab last night and the boys had the same. Dinner this evening is fridge surprise as we will be out all day - likely to be BNS risotto :)

    House insurance quotes to obtain
    Financials to update
    Ironing to complete (not so much left).

    Sadly the hounds aren't going to see their Nanny, so will be inside on their own - I could do with a dog sitter for a few hours. This will mean we have an extremely long walk early evening.

    Best wishes to all

    Good morning, I've woken up with a severe case of the wobbles - huge cloud of despondency over my head.

    I'm off to walk the hounds and start remembering the things I am grateful for.

    The sun is shining which is positive.

    Hang in there, (((Tilly))) It's only to be expected to have a wobble at times, but you've come so far, are sooo super organised and keep us entertained with your diary. The wobble will pass xx

    When I look back at the time that DH was made redundant and out of work, I walked a lot, as it helped me to clear my head.

    I am sure that Mr Tilly will get another job soon, as things are sounding positive. You have come a long way and you will get back on track :).
