seacow thanks for pointing me to the attic 2 website ( you did even though you didn't mention it). it looks great ..am quite excited at finding that. I think ill be going out to get some wool now! glad to hear of some progress on Dd and sleeping..
love thanks for the wool warehouse link also ..will def get some from there .. I can see now that double bed is a bit ambitious (especially as i really only want a throw !!..so am going to start smaller) .
audit slightly envious of your 3% ( though am sure its well justified) my job is public sector and we've been 'lucky ' to get 1% for the last few years ..( not even standing still..
).. supposedly we are supposed to be getting 2% this year but I wont be there!
catface keep at it, you'll find somewhere lovely.. if you are selling first and not in a chain you'll have an advantage. hope your family- Dps Ds and mil stress is easing a bit
I am up early for a Saturday! - well for me anyway - I woke up hungry ! but the diet is going really well ,(10lbs lost since 2nd week of Jan) .. am thinking of going over to Southampton today I haven't looked at weather yet though as of course ill have to get the boat... I fancy a bit of a wander around the shops (dangerous I know).. I need to take back the one pair of curtains that were too small, and get the matching fabric for tie backs for new curtains, (strange JL dont do them).. and wool! I might look at the Hush concession in JL also
girlie 103 is a brilliant age.its good when a funeral is a celebration of a life well lived My mum is 92 and apart from being a bit frailer and deaf is really in quite good health..but my DSF (who is a bit younger) keeps acting like shes about to drop dead every time she gets a sniffle or falls asleep during the day.. Hes wrapping her up in cotton wool all the time because he is scared and really its stopping her from fully living whats left of her life . I have given up trying to change him or suggest things now, its useless.. But they are just not doing stuff anymore (he is in good health also ) but getting so depressed and i really dont know what to say to them any more ..
I just get so cross to see them acting like this but they wont change now. my brother who still lives with them (at the age of 53!..never moved out). is worse than useless when it comes to encouraging them.. though at least he does do lots of the stuff around the house to help them) ..My mum is still feisty though, but then they argue.. and DSF rings me to mediate..(i refuse to).
Ruddy Hell! Parents! who'd have them? 
. At least they are not part of the mad 'possible inheritance' issue ,(this is all about my my birth family) and i have banned them from talking about it ..
