But my first letter was in lower case as I had tried to make it a capital IFSWIM


Only for new users, so would not work for me, but the one in the discounts board just worked for me :beer:

so instead of changing the 1st letter to a capital, triggering them all to change to lower case, ah enough said

Came in from the garden to find both cats sharing a chair. Almost unheard of, but the big black beast discovered the heating pad I bought for Ami the Siamese because she is so old and feels the cold. Comfort won over aversion, :rotfl:

This is my outfit for tonight. I am NOT going with the white contact lenses :eek:

I have between shoulder and middle of my back length hair, which is very fine and won't tolerate lots of back combing.

Any ideas please folks?

Sort of a deranged Minnie Mouse then:eek:

If you don't want too much backcombing then a texturizing spray or failing that dry shampoo should give the same effect mixed with hairspray.

Night in tonight so no dressing up (well tonight anyway;) )

Hope you have a blast.

I posted earlier in the week OH had a couple of Basal Cell Carcinoma's removed from his forehead and was feeling very down with a very sore head and large scar.
Anyway he is feeling much better but the subject of him coming back to live with me came up again. I still live in what is the family home on joint names so he is entitled to ask. So its still being discussed but looks like it might happen in the new year. He will sleep eat and wash etc in the house but the plan is for him to get a small caravan to use as his lounge and to keep his books and maps. He would also like a wood burner as he has one where he is now. He and I dont like the same tv and I did suggest he have a tv upstairs but he wasnt keen.
On a financial note it would mean we would both save nearly £500.00 per month and that would definitely take the pressure off me to find extra work. It would also mean I could put some money away over the next 3 years for retirement.
It would also mean we should be able to stay in the house and not downsize.
We do see each other sometimes 2 times a day go shopping together and on holiday and out for meals so in some ways we are like many other married couples. The subject came up as I said how sad it was that due to all of his years of drinking our money away we still have a mortgage and not a lot of nice things in our home.

I think there is still a strong bond between you so do what will make you and your kids happy.
I don't know what size your garden is, would a shed type thing dressed up as a man cave do him. Or maybe you turn one of the bedrooms into your lounge so you can get away from him sometimes?
Good luck it is worth a try. Using the time to get a handle on some savings is a good idea. If it doesn't work then you go back to the downsizing option but if it does then you should both be more comfortable with pooled resources.
