We had grilled pork loin steaks on egg noodles in a sweet 'n' sour sauce.

Home made, not take-away!

Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

Had a bit of a snooze myself actually

Ah, bless!

I know what you mean - naps don't have the desired effect on me either. I really must start getting to bed earlier at night - these 6.30am starts are killing me slowly.

Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

Buried the hamster earlier - lots of tears shed by my little ones - then I went and shut my finger in the porch door - Ouch it really hurt and there was lots of blood.

DD gave me a hug and told me not to cry as she loved me more then Nibbles ( the hamster that is no more) - Bless.

My finger has now turned black and I think the nail will fall off, so I will no doubt make more typing mistakes then normal.

Together with numpty pimps - today has not been a good day.

However Mr ZD went out and brought me a bottle of wine

We don't have pets 'cos we got overly upset when Hammy died ... the day we were to go on holiday.

Any emotional time spent with your kids is quality time.

I should be getting up at 6.30am every day to get to ClientCo on time, but to be honest I haven't been on time for a while now

And when I do manage to get in on time I'm certainly in no fit state to be anywhere near a compiler.

Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

Just had to severly prune the list of people I'm following on Twitter - couldn't keep up.
