I've read so many books over the years it's hard to pick one that made a big impression on me.
The I Inside by Alan Dean Foster awakened my love of SciFi
The White Dragon/All the weyrs of Pern by Anne McCaffrey just further deepened my love of fantasy and dragons in general
The Belgariad/Mallorean by David Eddings, I don't know where to start with them I tend to read them once a year.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens helped me understand that there is a possibility for change
Decorating isn't my favourite thing in the world to do, but it needs doing. Once we've picked out the colour scheme we'll get a company in to do it for us. I want rid of that pink carpet as it's hideous and underneath is the original floor boards, so I'll sand them down and leave them exposed and I think it will look so much better.
Hugs all
Thanks guys, yes the pink carpet is going to have an accident involving a skip also the kitchen is going missing I can see a few happy weekends with a sledge hammer coming up.
It was an utter delight to see the guys face when we offered to write him a cheque on the spot to cover the house, he was positively drooling thinking about the commission on a quick sale ! That and we made a scene between us because he was acting like a stuffed shirt, basically it came down to Snuggle and I fighting over what we buy first, the amp or the house
I'm having absolute joygasms at the moment, I've bought a house and a new amplifier.

I think I'm more impressed with the amp to be honest, snuggle isn't seeing it that way
After getting bullied by snuggle, I have to put the link to the house up:

It's easy, I've got reminders set on my phone otherwise I can go the whole day without eating. Here's a typical food day for me:
Breakfast: 2 x coffee
Lunch: Sandwich, or maybe some soup and a roll
Dinner: Sandwich
Apart from the weekends when I can spend some quality time in the kitchen, that's me for the day, and I don't normally have my dinner till about 8 at night
VictoryPanda, I can sort of identify with what you've said. During my teenage years I wouldn't let any get close to me because of the feelings I had of being gay. I built a shell around myself, I knew I'd have no issues with my parents, but going to a catholic all boys school was a different matter, apart from the unlimited perving opportunities
One thing I did pick up on though, don't try and be normal, there's no such thing. Just be yourself, and if someone doesn't like it, it's not your problem.
Hugs to all
It's been a while since I've checked this thread.
Mark, I'm pleased your getting better, hopefully the nightmares will dissipate in time.
KC I've not had to go through the trauma of losing my mum or dad, so I'm not going to say I understand, I don't. But hang in there, things will get better, they have to.
Joe, I don't know you, but I know the illness. Hang on, every day you achieve something, just look for it to make your day that little bit better.
The very idea of breakfast that isn't a cup of coffee just turns my stomach. I generally can't eat anything until I've been awake for about three hours.
I learned from the greatest when it comes to dealing with woman. My dad intuitively picks up on what my mum is thinking and then agrees with her. He may possibly be the cleverest person I will ever meet
