Guest numbers creep....

[fibi]

You are quite right - again La Vache- no I would never think of giving a discount if less guests than I was expecting turned up.

I think the idea of 4 + 2 children is good and I think would stop this happening again - maybe.

Anyway I am continuing to be serene and pleasant and these trivia no longer annoy me....

Just posting one on the members only that did - lots - see if any of you can beat it!

Mousie, you've got it in one - although recently they have had to be supplemented with quite frightening amounts of alcohol

Next year I hit the big 60 - I am determined to live the last chapter of my life more serenely and I am practicing now - I use wine to help and I'm getting there!!!! Any tips Fibi other than the booze?

Yes Enid, Bach flower remedies honestly they work, I promise. Deep breathing helps too, the ones you did with contractions but they were useless as they still hurt like hell.

Also the normal stuff of counting your blessings, we really are all tremendously fortunate people who don't have to worry where our next meal is coming from and if we can pay the doctor when we are ill (all things my grandparents - and parents sometimes had to)- we all forget but we should remember sometimes...I try to!
