Bossy, big hugs for you for today - you are doing so well with everything (((hug))).
MrsMP there's been chicken pox at Juniors but not at Infants which is a shame cos DS still hasn't had it (he's 6). As for the sickness, don't want that! My sister's a teacher and used to get everything going but I think now her immune system is pretty good and, touch wood, she rarely succumbs to all the nasties. Think a mask is a good idea
!!
Maisie, no snow here much to the children's disappointment. They got excited when they heard snow was around but we've escaped it. Sounds lovely DS sleeping on you in the afternoon - I used to love it when mine did that. Treasure it because they grow up so quickly and the housework will always be there.
Dusty sorry you have a sick little one

Here's a thing - posted on techie forum - my tv DVD combi isn't working. Well, just the DVD bit, it says invalid disc. The discs work fine in the other machine. I've cleaned lens with one of those DVD things and blasted it with the hair dryer on cool, in case of dust. Any other suggestions?
I had this problem bossy with DD's combi tv (from Mr T) and it was something to do with changing the regional settings from region 1 to region 2 or something or from PAL to NSCT (or something like that) sorry I am not much use but our DVD also worked in stand alone DVD player, may save you forking our for a new one. Valli gave you sound advice & I hope you manage to get through today ok :ADundeeDoll wrote: »sorry been off this thread for a while so can you fill me in on LL ta

DD has gone off to school in my warm hat as we keep having hailstones here so I'm not planning on going over the frontdoor step today
I'm cold enough as it is, and none of the other hats fit me unless I borrow DD's wolf one with built in gloves and I don't think either of us would want that :rotfl::rotfl:

Anyone up for HHC 10:15-10:45?
I have 6 piles of the teeny pinks washing to put away and don't want to do it on my own.
Bossy, Mini-bossys and bossy-in-laws.. you are all in my thoughts today.. I hope you can all find comfort together today and remember the amazing man he was. I have bossed OH to light a candle for you all and DH and also LL and our bestest Diva and MLB (another flylady who sadly passed away a couple of years ago..) and AnWnMum and Deco and Toots and LW.. Gosh there are so many amazing flyladies on here past and present.. it is quite humbling to see how you all battle on when I am moaning about putting away the laundry and having to take Tiddles glasses to be fixed already!
I think we should designate a 'no moaning' day as a sign of support to these amazing people!

Aww sorry to hear that it's just so unreal, then sneaks in and bites me on the bum.
I found that too, he passed almost 3 years ago so have learnt how to deal with it or I think I know how to deal with it. I found the first birthday after he passed the hardest as it took a while for me to get my head round/accept that he was never going to be 37.
Be kind to yourself today (((hugs)))0 -

what valli said made perfect sense be gentle on yourself today bossy and do whatever you want to do to get through it.
hope little ones enjoy the swim and i hope he had a lovely dream of pirates and treasure and jellyfish.
I agree, good wishes to Bossy and family.
Have done very little flying so far this morning but as it's a gorgeous sunny day I went for a lovely long walk down by the river with a couple of friends which was really cold but very enjoyable; good for the spirit Got home and had coffee and toast, done some Internet browsing but need to get on and do some flying... HHC anyone? 0 -
just off phone to mum, not going over to see her at weekend as dont want to risk passing lurgs on to (pregnant)SIL or little niece - does give me longer to fnish nieces cross stitch.
off on a tangent -its sort of table clearing but im now framing mums mothers day pressie. Then i can stash it in the pressie cupboard instead of leaving it on the table to remind me its not finished.SPC~12 ot 124
