    I've just done tomorrows list, don't need to copy and paste the extra tasks ;) Ok yes I cried a little when I posted that. Softy I am turning into :o

    Dusty, can't add much to what has been said already, but will add a small something. 5 years ago I was told I had liver cancer, I was scared stiff. Eventually after several biopsies I was told they were non malignant (well 6 definately are not they had to guess with the other 2 because the 'lumps' as I call them were too close to other organs so he left them) , my liver would hopefully repair itself (it is starting to, well has a small amount this year (took it's bloomin' time!), thankfully) those moments between being told it was and it wasn't was the worst time in my life, but part of me is thankful for it as it made me appreciate what I do have so much more. Please stop worrying, like Pigpen said, don't worry about what you can not change, enjoy what you have, your wonderful family and just enjoy being you.

    Right, today, well DP is on his way to collect his mother so I has eventually put the laptop down. I got to Metro Centre, finding a parking space was the next mission. Picked up the games from Toysrus, got some chargers from one of the computer shops and ran straight back out. I HATE BUSY SHOPS!! Done some cleaning and tidying. Kids had their hair cut, look more like boys now. I did the bathroom this morning so that was sorted. Still got oodles to do before Christmas but ear is hurting too much to be bothered, I might get some wrapping done later.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    :rotfl:Somewhere between dogs and cat in hells chance. Go on be mean. Mine are in bed, well kind of, DS2 doing his yoyo any excuse to come down thing :rolleyes: My delivery was 6 hours early :confused: driver wondered why I looked puzzled when he turned up at midday with my 6-8pm order. Saying that someone who ordered from an Asda in Birmingham might be waiting a while, the order went to Durham :rotfl:

    Michelle, hope the scan goes well tomorrow, will you be asking if it's a pink or blue one?
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
