I even, on occasion forgot to remind her of stuff... mainly cos I knew she was reliable and on the ball... There are others though who I have bent over backwards and suffered to help.. yet they don't seem in the least bit grateful.. Not that I expect them to - just seeing them achieve what they need to is reward enough.. but don't you think it's odd that it isn't those people who are the most grateful? less

Now it's our turn to scapegoat him for all our disappointments. Blame him for bad jobs, bad health, bad marriages, bad life, bad attitude, bad vibes, bad environment, bad everything. No matter how far removed it is and absurdly ridiculous blame him for it. That's what he does all the time and he became prez. What more proof do you need than that? It works. It worked for him. It can work for you too! :( less

I haven't tackled the huge pile of ironing, I haven't finished clearing/tidying the top section of the garden...I haven't read much, I haven't listened to audio books, and I certainly haven't renewed my passport :( and I feel tired after losing most of yesterday due to son's brokendown jeep.. Either I need to buck my ideas up or set myself a more realistic to do list in future.. I haven't even been anywhere fun! SO do you think they will let me have an extra week off to recover from my week off where too much has got in the way of things I should have done? less
