    Hugs to anyone suffering from colds, lack of sleep etc (((((hugs)))))

    I have braved a coffee, and even had some lunch - very strange feeling, but I don't think I embarressed myself :D I would have expected the numbness to have worn off by now :confused: Oh well!

    Still ploughing through flylady - slowly. This site is just so slow today, that it is maddeningly frustrating. No doubt it will go down for "maintenance" in due course but I hope it speeds up soon!

    My Christmas Tree can't go up yet - the house is not tidy enough! I expect we will do that next weekend.....give me a bit more time to panic clean! (yes, my house really IS that bad :o )

    Toto I wish I had spent more time with my kids when they were little. They haven't complained to me, but I do feel as though I missed some good bits because I was at work.

    And yes you will have to learn to cook. But at least you can have Nigella as your role model, I had Delia who was born middle aged. :D

    Nigella makes me laugh so much. At first her love of food was quite infectious and with all the hair tossing and finger licking, I could see why men suddenly started tuning in to cookery programmes. But in her last couple of series, she's been trying so ridiculously hard to look sexy, she ends up almost being a parody of herself.

    If she does that fake coy look at the camera one more time, I think I may vomit. I swear she even said 'I love licking the cream off', whilst pouting 'seductively' the other week...:rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Anyone here heard of Workrave? Wiki suggested it and it's great, you can set up your own forced breaks and limits on the computer.

  • Tote's, I don't think I've really got any right to say this, but I'm gonna say it anyway! :rotfl:

    If you gave your children the choice of anything they wanted or their mum what would they choose?

    I'm not trying to influence your decision as like I said I've got no right to but, and everyone is different, being in debt has taught me that although money can buy you the most of expensive things, it really has little value! :think:

    That sounded like one of those chinese proverb things. I'm gonna copyright that! :D
