Morning
I've just re-joined freecycle to get rid of some stuff, but most of the mails are asking for everything, which makes me think car booters, which is OK if they declare it, one claimed she was a pensioner!, so reported them. DH says he will bin them first.
Got a town trip on the cards need to do a Boots shop, and maybe the guy to finish the bits in the bedroom/kitchen off. Toad in the Hole planned for tonight with left over veg & gravy from last night (habit from when working of always doing two days at once).
((((hugs)))) where needed, especially Smoky and LO's.
Take care DGMember #8 of the SKI-ers Club

Morning all.
A grey day dawns after yet another poor night's (lack of) sleep. I feel like Ahab chasing the White whale at the moment where sleep is concerned. I've been to the doctor about it but he didn't find anything wrong so it looks like this is my pennance, my cross to bear, call it what you will. And in the half-twilight early this morning, I sadly realised just how big the bed is when there's only one in it..... Where's the sad-faced weepy smilie when you need one
Anyroadup, day off today so plenty to do. More diving gear to post, divorce papers to return to court, dogs to walk in the forest and I intend to call and see my boss's MIL who lives on her own a few miles away. As she doesn't drive, visitors are always welcome and alledgedly there's a pot of tea and some HM cake waiting. Added to the fact that she is a dear old soul, who could resist that?
My thoughts are perenially with those in need of them and in the words of Supertramp: "It's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again".
Take care and be safe.

Morning all
Work today so kids off to daycare.
Trying to get the kids washed & dressed every morning is a battle. Why?! Esp DS.
Have emptied DW & about to put the WM on as everyone is now dressed. Will TD it taler as weather is looking awful.
I finish work at half 2 but kids in daycare till 6 so shall take the opportunity to sort their rooms! *wicked laugh*!
Kids have dippy egg for tea (they also have tea at daycare). I shall have the left over cauliflour, will make cauliflour cheese. DH, whenever he gets back has the rest of the curry. I padded it out with chickpeas of he would have ate the whole lot in one sitting last night!
Have a good day all
