    A difficult decision which I know you haven't taken lightly. You need to put family first.

    On the positive side, it should mean Froggy escapes the freezer........ unless this is all a cunning ploy :eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning, thanks for your lovely posts :o

    We overslept this morning :eek: Will walk the hounds this morning.

    I'm WFH for part of today then taking half a day off. I'm writing Xmas cards.

    Mr T is making a vat of chilli today - we will freeze the rest and it's being made using two of the mince beef and onion bases I have in the freezer.

    Tomorrow night will be financial night. Update the spending diary and check off against all the statements. It normally takes longer than expected but we do keep it fairly up to date.

    That's all for now. Have a good day.

    Hi Tilly

    Just catching up (again).

    Difficult decision to make about your mum, but probably the best decision - but I know that my aunty still beats herself up about not having my nan to live with them (even though its been 13 years since she passed away).

    Well done :T

    This year my Christmas cards will be posted with RM survey stamps and I've had a few good free magazines :) I'm looking forward to my 6 months ending though... I don't work in the same postal district as I live and it is becoming a bit tiresome posting things :(
