    Lady after my own heart.....tackle world-related badness with chocolatey goodness.... wise, very wise... :D;)

    very wise indeed. Tea (or coffee), chocolate and sympathy thats always what I prescribe (or self-medicate) when things are bad. I did scoff one of those snickers duos yesterday :EasterBun



    Been over to my Gran's, she gave me a gorgeous little ornament as a thank you for making the new screen in her kitchen. I also dropped off the nappy cake I made for Mum to give to the lady that stopped the man from leaving that had revered (repeatedly) in to my Mum's car.

    Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. I remember how horrid these situations are. Hugs.

    Thanks Maddiemay.


    Feeling a bit teary.... :(, mad as I don't even know what will be said tomorrow. Feels good not to be chasing my tail today having got all the washing done yesterday it made a big difference, I guess the down side has been today I've had more time to think. OH is trying to help by taking me out for a burger. I kept thinking about the money and the stuff we have in the fridge (and there's no room in the freezer) and then thought stuff it.... which isn't like me normally.

    I put the pepperberry shirt onto ebay. Its been worn once and doesn't fit me anymore so there's no point in keeping it. I just hope someone buys it. Its still on their website but only the very small sizes left.

    HMH, did you get the chocolate bars?

    The shirt has sold already! I kept the price reasonable but after fees etc I've made £12. :j

  • Well done on the shirt!! emo49.gif

    I think I'd have done the same as you yesterday too - said 'stuff it' and went for the burger too!! Sometimes you gotta just do things like that to keep yourself sane!! emo3.gif

    Good luck for today. We'll be waiting... 45.gif
    I love Knitting Noras post emo1.gif More crossing and wishes from across the water too!

    Well i'm on my way home. So far I've heard of others being given notice and some sending out goodbye emails. I've been told there's more to come but at least its another days wages. I'm really tired but I think that's stress.
