    Hi Tilly

    Sorry to hear you've had a cruddy day and that the men in the family are poorly. Hope they get better soon.

    I think you are most definitely allowed fish and chips ;)

    Big hugs

    I hope you are currently in the queue, in the chipper, thinking - Haddock or cod? Cod or haddock? You've got to eat well and keep your strength up Tilly if you've patients to look after. Fish and Chips is nutritionally a balanced meal to boot :D

    I had a huge melt down earlier which was driven by work pressure and extended family and I am truly grateful to GG (Gally) for being an extremely good chum in RL as well as here. Thank you x x
    Merely payback time for all the grief I've put you through :o. And will probably continue to do so :p.

    Mushy peas I hope :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    To be fair KC, we're fortunate that most of our problems are very much of the first world variety :).

    They still need sorting though!

    Morning, fish and chips (£5.50:eek:), tartare sauce (jar finished and decluttered), early night and feeling much better. Definitely lost the plot last night.

    Mightily relieved that's it's Friday :T

    I had an interesting chat with DD last night and boy does she have her head screwed on the right way :)

    Happy Friday Tilly, hope the men recover from their flu and you all have a fab weekend. Hope you are feeling brighter. GG's posts cheer me up so I can imagine a phonecall would work wonders.

    Just caught up with the last few days of your diary (the other 400 pages are very tempting displacement activity but I have to get back to my studies! ;) ). Those totals are amazing - you have done so well. Subscribing now...
