I'm here, though feeling a bit grumpy/stressed as the week has been more pear-shaped than I'd like. Partly due to having to find time to pick up new car, take old car to scrap yard (sob) and partly due to being really tired and not getting up as quickly as I should and yesterday sneaking of for a nap for an hour or so!).
Today I must try and get on
So far I'm up, breakfasted, showered and dressed. A start I suppose!

Good to see you all, I was afraid I may be the only one sill postingWink

Scout I was all huffy yesterday evening, so I decided to take DDs out to a local pizza/pasta place instead of cooking, it was a good move.

Arti glad you are pleased with the new car, but sorry the week's gone pear shaped for you.

Carrots Hi, hope you feeling less groggy now, I hate that feeling.

Well, I've packed the DDs of to school, they all ate before leaving and have clean clothes on so my day off didn't result in disasterGrin. I'm currently prepping brekkies for pampered puppies, they are watching my every move in case I eat their chicken. My toast has just popped up, so I'm off.

If anyone want's to start a new thread for July, please feel free to start one.
(Or carry on with this one)

I don't feel I should start one as I am not on here a lot anymore. --to busy with other stuff--
