    I'm totally in awe of anyone who can tackle a pattern like that. I loved that on *my* doll my Nana had even filled in the little dance card with every dance taken up by The Prince! :grinheart

    I hadn't really appreciated how enmeshed your life gets with someone else. Spent ages last night sorting paperwork from solicitors re. house. Got the renewal for my car insurance this morning and realised that FOH is a named driver so that's something else to sort.

    Not a big job I know, just hit me hard for some reason.

    I put some washing on the line yesterday and it dried. Such a tiny thing, but it gave me a boost that things will get easier again.

    Work-life balance is rubbish at the moment, and having all sorts of knock on effects.

    However, the sun is shining and littlewing looked beautiful going to school as a princess from a fairy tale for World Book Day.

    It's the little things that can often hit hardest. *hugs* You'll get through it. Can i ask, obviously you're still in the situation of living with FOH but does it feel any better to be working through things? You're making progress, it's never going to be quick, but you're doing whats best for you and all these annoyingly little things that crop up are part of the bigger picture which will eventually lead to a clean break :)

    I've had a fairly productive day today, tidied my room, got a wash on, booked a train ticket and megabus ticket for tomorrows gig, picked up my prescription and now able to chill out. I've got 11 days off so trying to be productive with them :) as opposed to what i did last time which was mainly sleep through it!

    Oh dear WaS, is he not very tech savvy? If you can direct him to Prt Scn and then tell him how to copy and paste in paint that might be the easiest way.

    He isn't at all tech savvy! I have just sent a photo of my keyboard with a big red circle around the Prt Scn key! I just need to see what company's spyware he has which will be written on the pop-up ads. Wasp's patience is quickly running out because my teacher friend read that it needs to be removed manually and says I likely won't know how to do that because it's complicated for anyone who isn't an 'expert'. Wasp spent years teaching me how to edit the registry in Windows, make partitions and generally learn all about how Windows works so that I can maintain my own operating system and he has got all offended on my behalf. I am somewhere between frustration and amusement!
