    Evening ladies

    Full day at the paid stuff. Dinner in the oven at the moment.

    This evening will now be spent sorting through the office !!! dumping ground as DH as decided to take DD away in the carrievan for a couple of days. ........ tomorrow :eek:. Unfortunately I emptied the whole van when we came back from France left year so I have to try and work out a stock of everything tonight. I have no idea where the sleeping bags are at all, I think the spare one is here but thats about it so looks like I'll be fairly busy, now wheres the rolls eyes smiley.

    Oh and heres a few discreet hugs as I sense there may be a few needed xx

    Back later

    So here is my list of inedible frogs:

    Frogs
    Get Euro's
    Get Suitcase Down From Loft
    Pack Hand Luggage
    Take unwanted paint to tip
    Sort Boiler Cupboard
    Empty Bedside Drawers
    Choose P's Clothes To Keep
    Take Rest To Homeless Shelter
    Learn About Investments
    Sort Spare Room Cupboard
    Music Magpie - DVDs & CDs
    Zapper or is it Zoosk? Books

    I ordered our euros today, so that's one down, eleven to go... I'm a bit sad about sorting through which of my late husbands clothes to keep. I had an idea of making a teddy or something for each of the tots out of one of his tshirts. We have used some bits on patchwork quilts for them. They are no use to anyone here, and I don't think I could bear to put them in a cs bag and maybe see someone nearby wearing his jacket :( so thought of finding a homeless shelter in the next town and seeing if they could use them? He had about 100 tshirts I think. Anyway, I decided that when I decorate the bedroom, and rip out the old overbed thingy, they will have to go. I can't go putting his things back into new cupboards. That's just daft. Equally I can't take them out yet, as the cupboards have glass doors, and I'll be able to see how empty it is :( what a miserable job. Oh I do miss him :(

    Bossymoo (((HUGS))) I cannot imagine how I'd be if it was Mr LW's clothes, and me sorting through them.:( Coping vibes by the barrow-load for you, as you deal with this difficult task.

    Bossymoo - I can't imagine your pain :( You are so brave (and your post bought a tear to my eye :o) ((((big hugs))))

    I am still struggling with my Uni work - which makes up at least a couple of my frogs! And now the Uni website has crashed!! :eek: Oh well, back to it then.....

    Hopefully I will be able to do some proper flying at the weekend, before I have to do the next lot :p

    Hugs, sticks and spoons to those that need them x

    Actually I do feel a bit pants about it all tonight, I just want to scream. But I'll wake my babies up. The wickedness in me thinks why couldn't it have been some nasty old codger who'd spent 100 years being mean to people? Why did it have to be my husband? He was only 35 !!!!!!. we have babies, !!!!!!.

    Apologies for the inappropriate ranting, just decluttering some negative feelings... X

    Because nice people earn their angel wings sooner .. the nasty old barstools who cause untold misery have to stay here longer to try to earn theirs... (I will live forever!)
