    Johanne,
    Just to say, I have never been in your position, so cannot really understand what it feels like and won't patronise you by saying I do understand. Just wanted to say I hope you all get through it and have a cry if you need to, sometimes its the best thing to do before attempting to deal with hard situations. Take care and I wish you and your family all the best moving forward when you are able to.

    DUSTY KITTEN HAS FINISHED PAINTING:T :T :T

    Thanks for all your encouragement. Once the stuff is back over the weekend I'll post another picture.

    DH needs to finish the ceiling tonight and has the doors and windows to do next weekend but at least my part is done and the stuff can go back.

    I so need a shower now and then need to pop to town to do my mystery shop.

    DeniseF I am pleased life is improving for you, you sure have been through it!

    MOJT - well done, hope it goes well this morning. Where are you off to on holiday?

    Soappie - hope the weather picks up, have a good day

    Orkney - I won't worry about not giving blood on holiday, it won't be high up on many people's list at that time. Good to hear you are having such fun cleaning, suppose there is always one lol
    Thanks, my problem is thats the only opportunity to give blood (as can't do it here at home) and would love to donate some.

    HHC - is Half Hour Challenge - idea is that you run about like a looney doing as much as you can ing 30 minutes - it is amazing what you can achieve.

    Washed up all the painting stuff so I'll be spending 30 minutes in the shower!

    I was like that the other day, made an awesome syrup sponge in the microwave, 10 mins start to finish! Definately satisfied my sweet craving:D
