Thankyou ladies for you appreciation (?) of my tale of guilt over the ring which I didn't need to feel guilty about at all.

But, it has made me think this evening, am I of the temperament that if something goes wrong it's got to be my fault? Or maybe that's just my ex-dastardly-husband's control freakiness breaking through again. I think I'm going to have to have stern words with myself and if I feel a guilt trip coming on again, I've got to nip it in the bud (unless of course I KNOW I've done wrong.....)

Oooooh but that's a tad profound for a Monday night.

What have I achieved this evening from our communal list? Some done, some needs doing again...

Well, got up to go to DD2 and DD1 woke up too. She had a bad dream - so DH took DD2 & I took DD1 - Then realised DD1 had wet the bed. So now have her bedding and mattress protector to wash tomorrow.

Incidentally Pigpen - for the clear handbag out task tomorrow - how many handbags do we have to clear out?? :rotfl:

Off to get PJ's on but first, hope Pink Fairy and jjef's DD's both ok.

Profound, but very interesting soappie. I feel guilty about everything. I'm feeling guilty about going on holiday without DD. She is going to Australia with my parents for 2 months in the summer, but I still feel bad. Her dad took her to Disneyland Paris about 6 years ago and hasnt taken her on holiday since. I bet he doesnt feel guilty. Hmmm, is it a female thing or a divorced thing? Are you divorced pollybear? jjef - hope DD is ok. I might join you with a G&T...
