    Hello everyone,
    I havent read back yet, and been too busy with mum being ill to come in here much i'm afraid.
    I just want to thank you all for your kind thoughts and good wishes :A
    She is picking up a bit now and starting to eat more, nothing too heavy, but she is getting there.

    Going to dish up Dinner now, slow cooked beef and veg, then fresh fruit salad with yoghurt over the top.

    I will read through and be back later.:D

    Evening

    Work really seemed to drag today, probably cos there was hardly anyone in the office.

    Nan had a funny turn this afternoon, so that's not good. She should be ok though.

    Kitchen man came round earlier, he wants to get to work on the flat. Good as it'll be a step in the right direction. Bad as it's expensive:rotfl:

    Dinner will be pasta. Then an early night.

    Hope everyone's ok

    I plan to add some star anise to my next batch of elderberry tincture - it is stronger than the syrup and if we get a bad winter for flu then I am hoping it will help.

    i was looking at that in asda but plumped for the ginger, thought it would boost the circulation a bit, seems to be a lot of elderberries here but not all ready yet, the jelly i made with elder, bramble, apple and rosehip is lovely and set well, might try the star anise if i make a second lot of cordial though

    Woke up with a head ache this morning which turned into a migraine halfway to work. Have slept it off now though and have been having fun with this http://www.mycleaningplan.com all afternoon.

    Got tomorrow off to take dgs to school for the very first time - well apart from a day last week when dd was allowed to stay with him.

    hugs to those of us worried about loved ones - hope things get better for you soon

    HI all - been working hard all afternoon then cooked the dinner, had a bath and now I just want to sit down and knit!

    Pippa - I'm glad your Mum is feeling a little better. I hope you are taking care of yourself, too.

    Scuzz - hope your Nan is OK.

    Stef - I shall study that cleaning plan! Thanks for the link.

    Anniestar - we would love to hear from you. Please post!

    I haven't really caught up with the thread so (((hugs))) to all who are in need; there seems to be a lot of lurgies doing the rounds at the moment.

    See ya!
