    I had a giggle at that PH :D

    I reckon a Good Fairy was watching all the hassle you've had and decided to give you a nice reward.. just make sure you spend it on something that YOU want. ((hugs)) XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy

    So cleaning is rewarding after all. Who knew? :)

    I agree with Chrystal. A treat for you is the name of the game :)

    Thank you all for hour comments. Things have been a bit busy and I will come back but I'm thinking a new diary as I'm still procrastinating and disorganised, so the title of this one is a lie.:rotfl:

    Back soon. Xxx

    "So that was the end of procrastination and disorganisation, folks, the remaining 150 pages will be blank".

    Oh flip, now the thought of 150 blank pages bother me. I guess all those years of school where the teacher checked every page of the writing book had been used before handing over a new one must have rubbed of on me.

    I think I will ALWAYS be disorganised and a procrastinator.:o In guess its just part of my personality. I'm not sure it can be changed.

    Another part of my personality which affects part of my life is I spend most of my time with my head in a fantasyland, dream like place. I could day dream and win a gold medal for it I'm sure.:o its another thing which affects my life so much. I don't know why I do this but I could really do with trying to change this.

    Things are tootaling along slowly but I'm in the middle of a full blown mid life crisis, hence being missing for a few weeks. I will tell all later, it should give you a right laugh.:rotfl:

    Anyway time for food. Have a good night all.
