    I was glad I had called former Mr Policeman, although less glad when he began to talk about male attitudes and behaviours....... spent an hour in tears after that.

    Why? What did he say?

    Glad Mr Watty is okay. Remember Mr Policeman sees the worst of society - you know Mr Watty and I'm sure you know what he would/wouldn't do.

    It sounds like the organisation's chair is a really good person - so glad they can help take some of the pressure off of you in the short term.

    A very good point :) I've discussed in real life with a couple and there are many alternative explanations.

    She really was fantastic. Feel very blessed.
    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 !!

    Quick check in. Not been doing 10 mins in garden this week but I will forgive myself that :) Spent much of the day today on sofa watching a series I downloaded (£8 spent). Cant say I feel much better for it but couldn't face work so did that. Kitten slept on the other sofa :)
    Will go running this evening as that will get me out of house for a while, get me chatting to running club pals and I'll get some exercise in. Wins all round.
    Mr Watty has managed to send a couple of pictures so I at least know he is still 'up there'

    A sofa day sounds like what you needed today. Did kitty keep you company?

    An at least mr W is managing to keep in touch.

    Glad Mr W is choosing to keep in touch too. Hope you feel a bit better today and managed to go running last night.

    The run was a lovely 5 k. Floppy get out there :)
    And so another day has passed. Sold something on bay of e from last Sundays listings and just rejected a low offer on something else. Had lovely morning. Skipped work and met a friend at a local hotel where there is a starbucks and had coffee and gossip. That was fun but feeling a bit low this evening so off to see what kitten and I can find on TV to watch. Will take her feather stick to the sofa to encourage her to join me.

    I watched Knightrider earlier on, and am enjoying The A Team now. Nostalgia!

    I used to love Knightrider!

    Watty, Coffee and a gossip with a friend is always good
