How do you all deal with decisions? I've tried the pros and cons list but there aer so many variables and what ifs that I can't make a decision that I needed to make by 10am this morning
Do you follow your heart or live dangerously?

Skint catt,
I always think that deep down inside each of us we already know the answers we are looking for, the answer is already there, you almost need to sort of admit it to yourself, you know the right thing to do for your own sanity and the good of your family. I bet you are already edging one way or another, go for that one, it will never be the wrong desicion.
(That sounded really deep, sorry back to normal now)

As Redruby Said Skint Catt just follow your heart, what feels right will almost certainly be the right decision.
And if it isnt...hey its not the end of the world and you can look at a new route later down the line, but you dont know unless you go for it. I belive there is no wrong or right in any decision just a different route of getting to the same final destination.
Well im getting on ok this morning 3 loads of washing done, bedrooms tidy, bathroom semi finished, a wonderful smelling beef stew in slow cooker for tea ( using all free foods from my diet so i can eat loads!!!) Pizza base made for kids dinner and budget done for next 6 weeks. Pheww i think i need a coffee!!

Hi - me again. I meant to welcome GAZZA in my earlier post but forgot! I shall refer to you as GAZZA or Mr Lots-of-numbers, I think!
Just having an early lunch having hoovered downstairs and finished the ironing, then I'm doing a bit of shopping and will visit the gym before I come back and start on tonight's casserole, so I feel sort of up to date at the moment!
I hope everyone's weather is brightening up like it is here - it looks lovely out there!
See ya!

Afternoon all
I haven't acheived very much this morning, got up showered and dressed and headed off to the doctors for a blood test, came home sat with a coffee and some scrambled eggs on toast and haven't moved since.
I must carry on from yesterday and get the kitchen de cluttered!
Now into my second week of being signed off work and I think by clearing the house and throwing away the junk is clearing my head a bit, by getting the spring cleaning done at least I don't feel that I am wasting my time just mopping about and didn't someone once say "tidy house, tidy mind"
I too would like to send (((hugs))) to all that need them

:hello: Morning! Oops! No make that Good Afternoon!
I have been up since 5am in order to get dd down to the station and on her way to London, only to find no trains were running again!:mad: she is now on her way but may have to go by bus part of the way!
I am afraid that I haven't been around much as just before Easter we got some shocking news, my dear friend was taken into intensive care and we thought we might lose her :eek:she is younger than me! She has pulled through this crisis though and is now on a ward and itching to get home.:)
It did however make us realise just how precious our friends are and that we need to tell them this and never never take it for granted that they will always be around.
Right after that moment of seriousness, really hope I haven't brought everyone down, I now have a serious amount of :EasterBun to get through and have made a valiant start in order to make up for lost time!I promise that once I have had my fill of much needed chocolate products I will get back to knitting another square! My concentration has been all over the place!
(((hugs)))) to Smokey, Martyn, Aussie and PP and anyone else who could use one.
Catz xOur days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

They did, but personally I never believed it. I might try it one day to see for myself though0 -
Oh No, I wrote a long post then hit the wrong button and lost it. Oh well Morning all, well it was morning when I started. Feeling better to day, yesterday was feeling a little delicate ---- self inflicted !
Have managed to change the sheets which are now blowing on the line,nice weather in sunny Somerset. Made an asparagus and rockfort tart and used the stalks to make an asparagus and leek soup, not bad for £1.99.
Will vacume and polish before I nip out and get some more wool, four 8x8 squares done. Did I read somewhere that we are now doing 7x7 ?
Mioliere, what does OECS stand for?
Aussie, the ring bit really does work
Much love and prayers to (((((((((( Smokie and LO's ))))))))))))))
Hope you all have a good day0
