should be ckearing the ice off pond, its freezing cold though and snowing

I am so glad it isn't here. Today, the sunshine has already stopped though. I'm goint to have to put a cardigan or fleece on.

I'm going out now I've cleaned myself up. I got a snowball right in the mush. It wasn't aimed at me but at the cold caller at my door. It came right over his shoulder and smacked me with quite a force. It was that hard, icy snow too.

 

Still it's good to know kids can still drag themsleves away from technology for some snow fun.

I don't think I'd appreciate it if I got hit in the face.

 

Off to walk the dog while it's still nice.

Bed wikth a book. Talk to you tomorrow.

Goodnight. I'm going to bed early. I've got a terrible headache. First time in ages.

Hope your headache's better this morning BT

Good morning.

 

off to get more presciptions

It's just a dull ache today. I'll take a couple of tablets later if it gets worse. I should be trying to find out if my printer still works with either of my computers.I don't want to book flights and hotels online unless I can print the stuff off.

 

I'm such a procrastinator. I'll never change.

I've just got some new cartridges. I hope I can persuade the printer it doesn't want to stay dead. I haven't used it since I printed the last of the calendars and ran out of the last ink.

Phew, my printer is still recognised and working. That's a miracle. I lost virtually everything else.

I haven't even tried mine. It'd be too depressing if it didn't work.

I'm off to bed. I can hardly keep my eyes open. My reading has stuttered to a halt as well. It's just not me.

 

Speak to you all tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

It took over an hour to get my father-in-law to bed tonight - he just wasn't mentally here. I'm hoping he's a little better tomorrow as I'm supposed to be out at lunch and taking my Mum with me. Dave wont be keen on being left with him if he's the same tomorrow.

Off to look at what people are having for their lunches. Mum's gone for a short walk to the local papershop, My father-in-law is asleep - another very bad day for him. my husband is out but will be back for lunch in about 40mins.

Remember you are going out for a break so don't let your mind stay behind and worry about what's going on .

should be getting ready, daughter has to go into school today to pick up her A level law results..fingers crossed

My husband doesn't want me to go, so there's going to be a lot of bad feeling when I do. He has got work this weekend but he suffers from the usual male complaint. Him talking to his friends is his due right, me talking to mine is taking away his freedom to do what he wants when he wants. I wouldn't be without him but, I'm not prepared to be a door mat.

 

Mum has decided to stay home to make matters easier but, that has made me really cross. Sometimes I really regret giving up work. It's not just the rest of the world that you become a non-person, it's to those around you as well. I don't want to leave Mum behind as it'll spoil things anyway,. She's a person who's easy to love.

men do seem to think they have the right to do things that we women seem to have to give up due to "responsibility" without batting an eyelid.

after 21 years of not working - I know the non person feeling well,

I am fortunate. I'm not a 'carer' any more. I'm a free agent and I think my siblings and extended family indulge me because of all those years when I was more restricted than them, when I was the hub of the family.

 

I still am, in the sense of making sure I keep in touch with them all and relaying all the news etc so we still feel like a family although we're scattered.
