  • Evening all!

    No snow here Hairy, think we are going to miss it :T. We are frosty though and haven’t got above -2 today. I’m warming myself up from the inside out tonight with a glass of baileys and a sweet mince pie :beer:.

    DS1 went to a friend’s house today, child of my bestie. When I dropped him off I spent two hours chatting to my friend which was fab. Made me feel happy, but for some reason I feel quite down and irritated tonight. Not sure why.

  • Sorry you feel down now Lucky. Is it something you talked about with your friend that made you feel like this do you think?

    Your mince pies and Baileys sound good :).

    Hope your mood is more uplifted today Lucky - I do know how you feel - I feel the same after a nice day, I can't explain why, sort of a bit flat. I think it might be when you're back to reality.

    Take care xx

    I think this was it SA. DH genuinely is my best friend and we do have a giggle together (when he’s not on a bad day obviously), but there’s something different about having a ‘free-flowing’ conversation with a friend and I came back to Earth with a bump when I got home.

    DH has been out with his Best Mate today, so roles reversed. I enjoyed the ‘time off’ even if it WAS spent cleaning the dining room because I think the cat has been weeing in there :mad::eek::mad:.

    First NSD of the month today. Both :T and :o. Ordered a Christmas present but paid for entirely with Mr T CC vouchers so no actual money spent, and I’m not counting it :D.
