Giraffes what a nightmare, hope the next few months won't be too stressy and you find something soon.

Row wasn't too bad, it was over something silly, but I just feel sometimes as if i'm talking to a brick wall - which goes for DD too.

Poxy pains are doing my head in now, they are right under my bum and bloody painful

Muppetsmuggle I'm afraid that just goes with the job sometimes, tell dh to give you a bum massage at least you might get a smile

well dh has finally conceded that he has been doing too much considering hes not well so he has finished up outside(well timed with the football)
