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

    Wonder where Piq has gone, is she hiding from our humour or buried under a pile of bananas perhaps?

    Hope all is well Piq, come back, we miss you x

    Back again!

    I think I've had a dose of summer flu, I've been in bed for a few days, doing the hot/cold thing, blinding headache and too dizzy to stand. It was such that I had to crawl downstairs, actually couldn't stand without starting to keel, collect all the Bear's food and bowls and bring them to the bedroom. All so I didn't have to use the stairs and Bear would be fed.

    I feel much better now, bit wobbly but not scarily so and I can read without my head hurting. I will spend some time catching up on the diaries

    Hello Mummy Dfw :wave:

    There's plenty of help and ideas on ways to tackle the debt, once you get started you get quite a buzz out of seeing the total debt reduce.

    Granny's grey story was great, where she finds all her stories, smilies and jokes I don't know, but she lightens the days for us.
