I had a life, "wonder where it went" still at least, I now know that my lot began in Somerset c1750 and that has become quite important to me. Tricia

Not even my poor dog gets the attention he desrves......... I mean how can I divide my time between Hubby, 2 kids, dog and GC? Answer : I can't so GC wins hands down and the dog follows a close second ( 'cos he doesn't mind me nattering on about my days findings lol)

I have just remembered - I used to like decorating and DIY. I've been up since 7 with the intention of painting a spare bedroom, clearing out the other (junk) room and putting up bookshelves. It's now past 11 and I've managed to get the paint out of the cupboard! I'm hungry now, time for elevenses - may as well look at GC while I munch!

watch Eastenders regularly, housework, have less family to communicate with, have less friends to talk to, have less paperwork around the place, eat,go to bed at a reasonable hour - it is now 12.30. and probably a whole lot more that i will leave for others to mention. Night Night Fi
