    Tis true.

    This is one of my Mum's favourite sayings along with you can't take off them what they've had - there's usually a funny story she tells when she's saying that one, generally about how she's helped out a family member and further down the line it's obvious she's just been taken for granted. xx

    I have foreign students in the summer and the hardest ones to teach are those that know everything in English, but the hardest ones to host are those that don't know any language, so you have my sympathy!

    Aww Beanie, I'm pretty sure I know what you mean, don't let it get to you. Having thought about it I can't decide whether I find the report me comment childish, aggressive or both. :D Either way the tone was completely unnecessary.

    What happens with your lodger at the weekend? Are they home or do they have places to go and people to see. xx

    Although I am feeling much better & not coughing nearly so much I am getting tired even more quickly than normal.
    I have managed to do some washing & finally put some other washing away.
    I have mostly cleared the ottoman of doom which I really really needed to do.
    I have too much stuff. Fact.
