Nearly time to think about my New Year Resolutions.
Or rather, what ONE small thing can i alter in my life to have a positive impact.
I used to do the whole 'this year I'm going to get thin/fit/learn a new language/get up earlier/add any number of big obvious changes that I'll do for a couple of days/weeks and then give up on, but last...

Less than 5 hours to go and counting.
I've just finished wrapping the last present.
I THOUGHT I'd finished about a hour ago and then Dave rememberedsome that he'd bought for Jo.
and then after I'd finished those i found some cd's for Em that I hadn't wrapped.
But I really HAVE finished now.
I think.

These events are one of the reasons that I'm feeling on edge right now.
I remember how it felt when the Yorkshire Ripper was out there and killing, but it was over such a long time....
And I didn't have a daughter who was 16.
I know that at the moment I'm no where near whats going on, and I'm totally thankful for it, but...

yup the world does suck alot alot of the time, i wish we lived lives that were just safe as a given...being a mother and a lover i worry all the time about my little bloomsbury family here x
harleen:
It really is upsetting, I'm sure the guy/s wil be caught soon, as he/they are being really blatant and will slip up somehow. My aunt was followed by the Yorkshire Ripper on the night that he attacked another girl, I can't imagine how the families of these girls are feeling.
I have icecream in my freezer.
I have this months box of chocolates from the the tasting club in my dining room.
And a bar of the most gorgeous strawberry and paprica chocolate in my bag.
I have enough willpower to stop myself opening them but not enough to open them and just have one.
I hate it when i feel the need to wallow...

Ahhh, Sundays without having to get up, without having to rush around, and with someone who gets up to make me toast and coffee and then leaves me to read and doesn't moan ......
Bliss.
Saturday was good too.
Massive thanks to Iannnnnn for organising the tickets.
Now if i could just stop singing "the internet is really really great..........for porn"

Sunday sounds good
First let me say that although the postsecret exhibition was rather smaller than I expected, by the time I got to the end i was feeling like I had just been badly emotionally hurt and was holding back the tears.
And given that I'd already seen a fair few of the postcards on the site, I guess it says just how much of an impact...

Fun was not the operative word, but a nice lunch and a trip to the monestery was nice
Yesterday was our 10th Anniversary!!!!
Well, ok, so we aren't married, but it was the anniversary of our first Date, and was celebrated by nipple fights and Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers style dancing around the kitchen on its shiny floor.
Shiny because I'd had to clean it Properly for once after Emma's party rather than giving it a quick once over with a broom.
Hey, ok,...

Hammer's rule!

When all else fails ... Useful things, hammers.
I bet that butterfly had been lurking under your car's bonnet. We've had them overwintering in the house before now.
I once tried to catch a wasp in a beerglass on the kitchen ceiling but couldn't quite reach .
I said "get in, will you" - and it did.
My housemate was on the kitchen floor helpless with laughter.

Yes folks, I am a happy-happy-only-with-a-tiny-hangover-winner-type-person this glorious sunny Sunday morning.
The church bells are ringing, the neighbours are shouting, and my hair is still caked in goo, but I'm still in a rather bouncy mood.
And why is this?, I can hear you all wonder to yourselves.
Well yesterday, despite my guy having to be up at 3.45 am...

I don't have resolute resolutions as such but low-level background radiation type of things I want to do - the trick is to maintain the presence of the idea without getting stressed over it. Fore xample over the course of the year I thought through which charities I'd actually like to support now rather than those who badger money out of me all the time through endless badgering. I also maximised the tax relief and got my company to match my contribution through a scheme they have. So now I don't get the hassle of the phone calls/mailings/raffle ticket/product catalogues and they get more than twice as much money.
