Last day of hols. Boo hiss.
2/3 of the smalls are exhausted. Just returned from two hours at the yard.
A lot on at the moment, lots of quite complicated and draining problems.
I would really really like to be a voluntary lady of leisure about now!0 -

Hello,
I really do hope work goes well. Sounds like things are very tough. Take care of yourself,

Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -

Hi Alchemilla
Re: the diets ... we swear by the 5:2 fasting / soup diet (even though I'm still lugging steroid weight around despite it). However, even as I suggest it I realise it may not be so easy for you with small ones to feed, we can just please ourselves by having soup as a main meal, not the same when you have little people to nourish and I'm sure you don't want the extra faff of cooking separate things for yourselves after a long day at work. Speaking of which ...
I hope tomorrow goes well for you and if I find my magic wand and fairy costume I'll wish those lady leisure days in your direction.

Just caught up. lovey read. Hope back is much better. And that first day back has not been too dreadful.
And ..inspired by you and your daughter, have signed Handsome Baby up for a 'ladys weekend camp' Sunday and Monday. Rather too late I realised this meant I would be "camping". Wondering if I can come home at night as is only 20 mins away. Looking forward to spending 2 days with Handsome Baby.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
