    afternoon all, I am not really here, just dropped in to see who has snow and who hadnt, who has hairy legs and who hasnt - we might need a pie chart :D

    I am in the midst of a big sort out which is why I am AWOL, more about this later ....
    OH is being un co-operative as always.
    Ive got one of those handing organiser things on which you can put belts, scarves, ties, tights etc.
    I unknotted it all and laid it out on the floor, everything in type order. Most of the belts and scarves were culled into the charity bag.
    OH looks at the ties and decides they are all railway ties and therefore very valuable so he takes them all away to find a plastic bag. At that point I should have followed him because the excellent place he found to store his bag of valuable railway ties was the bookcase
    I need a brick wall to bang my head against

    Honestly you could not make this up, what possess them - Ive been trudging away on and off for 3 days while I tackle this particular big job and he does this, totally undermining my efforts :mad:

    Off to finish off before I start ranting again ...

    Did we know that Subway Chicken only has 50% chicken DNA, the rest is soya :eek:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
