    Valli.. it may not be obvious to her but you dont know what porkies have been spilled.. he probably says I am evil and unpleasant.. as they do.. but I can impart such details should the need arise.. I shall keep an eye on the texting... it has actually reduced in frequency so maybe he wasnt quite as exciing as she thought :p.. I may also however, be jumping to entirely the wrong conclusions because of the way KH behaved.. it may all be nothing and I am a twit!

    Dot appears to have colic.. and I am on the verge of a breakdown.. I need my hips and hands to stop hurting (typing one handed as my left had is pretty much useless) I need to sleep.. which would be easier with less pain and I need a couple of hours downtime.. and maybe a few drugs :(

    Decluttered 5 yoghurts from the fridge (2 for oh, 3 for me)

    Going to check bank balances and go to bed.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
