Happy new diary Piq
If you're decluttering horsey stuff, could you PM me your eBay username so I can keep an eye out?0 -
I am a shock. Just found read caught up. Subscribed, naturally.
So much happening. You need to get the saturday off, it seems bloody unfair Piq.
there is light at the end of the tunnel, Captain home and a new friend in Noah, Colin and you living in a cozy home.
Coming together and you deserve it.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Just caught up here also, as real life got very fraught - calm now.
I am thrilled for you Piq, and wish I had some practical suggestions for you, but everyone has already come up with mine .
I am so sorry that you have to miss the family celebration, may that be the worst thing that happens for the rest of this year.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

hi hope this evening shift flies by and in future you attend family gatherings.

This is going to be the quickest of updates as I want to get on with clearing out. I have plenty of news but it will have to wait until this evening!
The most important thing is that the hoped for miracle happened and I got to go to Dad's birthday/DS1's engagement/DS3 promotion dinner :T:T Someone at work offered to cover my shift :A Cue bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine for her, sometimes spending is necessary and a pleasure to do, no regrets.
I had a lovely time and more importantly, so did the celebrants.
Very happy.
....and now onto house clearing..... back later for more updates.
