Hi all,

I will do my flylady catch up shortly but first of all I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone...

denise, mudbath, Polkadot, boddy, rach, froddington, julie, Serena, kazmeister, zed, embb - thank you very much for your kind words and lovely hugs - they all really helped. xx
skintskotlass - no, my sister follows my mothers lead and tho I have tried she refuses to speak to me also.
Soapie - sorry to hear you are down honey *hugs*,
Dustykitten - thank you honey, and incidently, I always take Vit D in the winter and have been taking it for the last month due to a total lack of sunshine! I do think it helps - or maybe I just believe it does *laughs*
Sarahshattered - Thank you honey and I am normally a very upbeat person as I think my posts over the last two months I have been here have shown. But I miss those boys like I would miss a limb. I was not able to have kids so they were very important to me. But anyway, today I am just handing it over to a higher power and hoping the universe can sort it out for me.
tootifrootti - Thank you. I will not be trying to contact her for a while - Her message via our mutual friend was very clear that she would just delete them without hearing them.
Kaat - awww, it's nice to be missed, thank you honey.xx

You are all such a special collection of people and I have really felt your warmth and kindness over the last two days. Thank you all again.

Diva.x

It's her birthday today. I sent flowers and a home made card but I will not be ringing her as I normally would. I think it's for the best.

hollyh OH kept me up far too late last night. Fab! Hope it was!!!

Tia How did you do??

I :

Swept PC area, LR, DR (all one open area)
Mopped Kitchen & BR floors
Folded 2 loads from TD
Emptied & Re-loaded WM

Very pleased!!!!:T :T

Back into making bread... ace, even though my BM is faulty, so I put it on the 'make dough' setting, and then shape it and bake it myself. Everyone's been having bread rolls for their lunches... I'm so inspired by Weezl's challenge. :money:

polkdot - sorry I didn't get back to you last night, I was too busy yelling at DD who came home an hour late!!! I meant exactly what the others said. Your cakes are way too special to be given away, and it would devalue them. If you offered one at say an auction of promises for a local charity, or as a raffle prize, then you are clearly underlining the fact that they are valuable. Do you have a local LETS scheme? They exist in some areas, and are a scheme where people exchange goods and services without using money. This may be a possibility, but it depends a bit on whether there was anything you wanted in exchange.

Is LETS like timebank? I think we have one. I also asked at playgroup coz one of them has a birthday soon. Mum seemed quite offended as she said she also does and then giggled nervously as she said she hopes Im not going to take any business away from her. She's normally quite friendly but after that she ended the conversation and avoided me. Did't even say good bye as she usually does

Hi all,
Sarahshattered - Thank you honey and I am normally a very upbeat person as I think my posts over the last two months I have been here have shown. But I miss those boys like I would miss a limb. I was not able to have kids so they were very important to me. But anyway, today I am just handing it over to a higher power and hoping the universe can sort it out for me.

I really hope I didn't sound dismissive of what is obviously a really horrible situation. I think you've encapsulated what I kind of meant, when you've said you're handing it over to a higher power. Sometimes there's really nothing left to do - but walk away. The trouble with the written word over speech, is that one's words can sound flat, or detached, when in reality they come from deep within the heart. Your situation really touched me, and I felt so sad for you. Being powerless to change a situation like that when there are so many other players involved is devastating. You have my profound sympathy.

The only thing I can offer as a suggestion is to keep a box in which you write notes/birthday cards/christmas cards/ etc to your nephews. Seal and date the envelopes. When they're older you can give them to them, and they will know that you've always thought about them, and never stopped loving them, in spite of the circumstances, which are now way way beyond your control.

Thinking of you honey.

toottifrootti

Afternoon all!!

I am struggling to get going today - think i overdid it a bit yesterday but I am ok and will just have to get my butt into gear and catch up.
johanne - well done with the cooking - allotment sharing sounds like a great idea - exchanging your skills - very MSE!!!
boddy good luck with the sleep over - wishing you a uneventful and peaceful night
polkadot - like the others have said - do not give them away on freecycle - great ideas from the others to try - and what about this cancer morning you mentioned could you do a cake for a raffle to add to the proceeds?
embb & pigpen - hope you are feeling a bit better today - I hope it wasnt a ploy on your part pigpen to get out of going to college? as if you would do a thing like that!!!
sexymouse yes pesto potato bake sounds good - i was going to ask fro the recipe too!!!
AnW's Mum so sorry to hear about your friend's mum - hugs for you both at this difficult time.
Diva didnt mean to offend you - I probably didnt explain myself very well - anyway I know you will cope with it in the best way you can - meanwhile enjoy the love and happiness of the family around you - she is missing out on that.

Hugs for anyone else under par today

Ok must get a wiggle on
