solitaire

so all that festive stuff is past, 1stB is back at school, 2ndB is back at childminder (two days a week), I am about to be back at work, and it's cold and dark with no festive stuff to look forward to. it's a bit dull this english winter thing isn't it?

but before i get too sorry for myself - here's my christmas present: two days in a fancy lodge in the new forest with horseriding both days and an amazing overnight stay with posh restaurant (it has a dress code) and log fires. BY MYSELF. and i'm going next week.

i will now do a little dance.

there done now.

You lucky lucky B**stard.

We have just gone on a serious serious cost cutting spree. No more child care, no more eating in restuarants & definitely no more dreaming about running off for a quiet, childfree weekend:-(

Have fun. I'm sure you will.

THAT sounds fantastic. 'By myself' is a hard state to acheive sometimes and well worth the effort. I hope you have a great time.

Sorry, my curiosity about 1stB and Santa took over the required congratulations on your pressie (or perhaps I'm a tad jealous).

Enjoy your moments tout a seule with the gee-gees, fancy schmancy restaurant etc and I hope you sleep in the middle of the bed and use up all the towels..

When I read this the other day I thought - ooh, don't think I'd like that. Today it sounds like a light at the end of a tunnel, very jealous.

Spindles - have pulled your new year's rune - it's a good'un :

(FEHU: Domestic cattle, wealth.) Possessions won or earned, earned income, luck. Abundance, financial strength in the present or near future. Sign of hope and plenty, success and happiness. Social success. Energy, foresight, fertility, creation/destruction (becoming).

I found it spooky that 'domestic cattle' has made it's way into the topic again. Maybe that's your totem for this year!

ps Word Verification: cadkh. Isn't that like what a cow chews?!

thanks fm - just saw it on your blog too. i think on measure i'll take the possessions won rather than earned - that sounds easiest and i'm feeling lazy! and am loving the cow theme.
