    Good. There's only so much anyone can take Beanie.
    Try not to dwell on this.

    Because she obviously thought by doing that, she would convince you that you were making some kind of mistake.

    Just remember in the days to come the mark of her.

    These things are unfortunate, however you will feel the benefit of this in the days to come.
    So sorry to hear this has come at such an upsetting time, beanie - other posters have said everything better than I can, just remember that we're with you, hugging you, laughing at the dodgy hugs, all of it :grouphug: :kisses3:

    It will be a long long time til I forget the events of the weekend.
    Things were said and done on all sides that will not be swept under the carpet.
    I can not erase from my mind what was said to me.
    I truly did not realise I was such a horrid person.
    I have been sick today.
    Just a reaction to all the stress.

    Sorry this diary is just a whinge at present.

    ZTD great to 'see' you. I am an old timer with a new UN and used to post on the daily chat. I also have a recollection of a Chinese Buffet in our local, beautiful town :)

    Now normally, I lose track of who people are who change their avvy, never mind their name, but I actually think I know who you are... :T

    That's the second person I've recognised through a name change - go me! :T

    I hope you're back for good times rather than bad... :kisses3:

    It's because you're not. It's amazing how many times you don't realise things that aren't true. Usually because they're not true.

    Did you realise the sun was made from Gorgonzola? Nope - me neither...

    And hopefully other stress will gradually dissipate with them gone. In the meanwhile, Captain Clue will be visiting them with his stick and introducing them to the terms of "proper rent and proper bills". Remember this weekend, and do not feel sorry for them.

    Another night of less sleep than I wanted
    Decluttering of my room continues.
    Will do a skip run today if it kills me.
    I was just going to get up to make tea but Mr N is not for budging!!!

    Very very cold here.
    Is it worth buying a shoe rack or should I just chuck shoes back in bottom of wardrope when carpet done?

    Cold here too, but I'm denial as heating won't go on until it is dark (now actually)

    A shoe rack. You can get a cheap one in IKEA. Mine is in the bottom of my wardrobe...

    I have never bought a shoe rack in my life and as I am now over 40 and haven't needed one yet I guess I would say skip it :D

    Hope you are feeling more yourself today x
