    wedding was lovely. No real news. Am wondering how house can look so messy? and how work can build up into an overwhelming muddle pile?
    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 !!
  • It must be the spiders, playing while you are not there...

    indeed it must. The spiders have left big muddy marks all over downstairs. And all over the sofa. And shredded a box. Dog says he nothing to do with him and set off after cat at speed......


    think have a cold starting. Was planning early night but PA decided to resign ..... somethings never go to plan!

    Big news. Dad died. Totally unexpected. Out of the blue. Mr Watty is away. He says he is staying where he is and focusing on what he is doing as there is nothing he can do if he rushes back home. He will be back Tuesday. Spent most of the evening on the phone to a friend. And now have found a glass of wine. This is so unexpected. And almost too much to take in. Two weeks ago we were discussing the adaptions to the cottage for him to come home again and now he never will. Phew.

    Oh Watty, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. And you're on your own till Mr Watty gets back? :( I'm glad you phoned your mate, and yes, had a glass of wine. Of course its almost too much to take in! Be especially kind to yourself, please, you've been having an awful time recently in any case, and a sudden death of a parent is horrendous :(

    My heart goes out to you.

  • Oh Watty I'm so sorry, what a shock. Can Mr Watty review his decision to stay away for the week? Keep strong and be kind to yourself and have lots of animal cuddles and fresh air.
