Sunday 24th November, 2013.
Day 85.
Dear Diary,
Reflecting, I cannot believe my son's party was a week ago, it seems like only seconds before as my memories are so strong. I suppose memories are what makes time appear to stand still but at the same time also making time fly. Funny things, memories. One could even reflect on what purpose they actually hold, especially the bad ones. However, I am not convinced everybody thinks in a similar way to I, so I shall reserve those particular thoughts for another day, another time and possibly another place.
On the subject of memories and consequently feelings, I seem to be feeling much better than I have done in a long time. Sure, I have my downs but they are less frequent at the moment and I pray to God (the same God who is likely to damn me to an eternity of Hell) that life shall stay as it is for me at the moment emotionally speaking.
Moving onto my debts I've done absolutely nothing towards them today, sorry guys!

Just had a little catch up with your diary and wow that is an impressive signature - congratulations!
You sound so much better than before. Really pleased for you.
Hope that the lunch went well.
Hello again and thank you.
I am feeling a lot better, for me being on here has really put things into perspective. Before I did truly think I was terribly off.
Lunch was OK.Buy the sticker ... Go on ... You know you want to ...
:rotfl: It's been bought.
This week is probably our only opportunity to play the prank as my parents are going away for a few days. Father refused to travel in her "road going tractor" as it should have been "struck off 30 years ago" according to him, so they'll be going in his car.2018 totals:

I love Christmas traditions.
The girls always have Xmas PJs, a Xmas Annual and Xmas Socks. Once upon a life they were purchased from Johnny Lou Lous, M&S or N£xt, now they are from Primarche ! They have never noticed the difference, but the bank manager has .
Once they are all dressed up in their Xmas finery, we settle down to a Carpet Picnic and a Xmas movie. Elf is the favourite of all time.
Actually I feel all Xmasy now :xmassmile
Alex, well done on surviving lunch, and to you and Mrs K for cooking some lovely dinners. For the record I love Caviar ! xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Thank you all, I shall have to have a think on this.
We will be getting a tree the second weekend in December (7th/8th), so the fun begins then. I can honestly never remember a time previous that I looked forward to Christmas, thanks everyone.

Granaries: I presume you are a teacher of some sort?
EFL, for my sins, back in the pre-child days. Taught top & middle management to speak the Queen's English in various countries.:cool:
Now I volunteer with kids at school to keep my hand in... because I don't have the courage to become a REAL teacher (all that paperwork & being polite to the sh!##y parents who let their little kids play GTA5 etc.!:eek:).Mrs. K. found a funny sticker this afternoon, she's thinking of buying and sticking on my mother's car, to see how long it is until she notices ...

It's been bought.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Teeheehee! It's fun being childish sometimes, isn't it!:rotfl:
:rotfl: Mrs. K. suggested I could maybe retrain as a secondary Music teacher before I started the business; I chose not to for various reasons, one being dealing with those children that do not take Music seriously.
Anyhow, I'm fairly certain I'm going back to "school" when son starts in September 2015.So every time you see her, you and Mrs K will be in a really good mood and giggling. She's bound to be suspicious :rotfl:.
:rotfl: Are you trying to say I lack control over myself?2018 totals:
