    Have just heard from my friends partner.Things have worsened and the doctors have told the family to get her son home from Afghanistan(he's a captain in the army) they are having a meeting later with the family. She has a chest infection and fluid on the lung so they cant operate. He was in bits on the phone and I am too.those of you who pray please say one for Lesley.

    Struggling with the typing a bit today but want to send thoughts and prayers to taplady's friend.
    Twink, thanks for the update on PP, hope she gets home soon.
    Not much going on here, it's a beautiful day so washing is out. Dust and fingermarks are gleaming in the sun but I can't do much and I have sent DH out to play so.........to h*ll with it.
    Chicken chests for tea probably wrapped in bacon if I can be bothered.
    Where is Wannabesybil, hope she's OK.
    Love to all.

    Morning all,:hello:
    I've been MiA because of the 22 F&F's we've had staying, some since last Thurs, (they have all gone now) The last 2 (DB1 & SiiL) flew back to Spain last night. Oh how I miss him and DB2. :o

    I am totally exhausted but with a beaming :D . A good time was had by all. HM chilli, curry, casserole, quiches, flans, sos rolls, c/o rolls, bhajis, veg bakes, etc etc have been consumed followed by endless praise and recipes requested. OS has done me proud. Thanks fellow OSers. :beer:

    I have stripped 4 dbl beds, 2 sgl, 4 sofabeds and 2 sofas of bedding. That means I am wading my way through a pile of washing, 16 dle sheets, 8 sgl sheets and 40 pillow cases. Countless towels and t towels. I didn't use the WM y/day as it was raining but it's been on since 5.45 this morning, It's dry and sunny so will get them line dried.

    Vacumed and polished y/day and had a trip to re-cycle to dispose of bags and bags of bottles/cans. Don't want binmen thinking we're alkies. ;)

    Will freeze all left over food that was cooked from fresh so loads of meals sorted.

    DB2 and I did 22 B/fasts of cerial, fruit, yougurt, juice, tea, coffee, toast, bacon, eggs, sos, toms, beans and mushrooms on Fri, Sat and Sun. We work well together and had fun re-enacting the b/fast sketch done by Morcame & Wise, (anyone know it?)

    No bread or cakes left so must get some going, and warn the iron that it's doing overtime tonight in front of recorded Corrie.

    SUNNYDAY, MUMMYSAVER and MSD, Thanks for wishes re the w/end.:A

    Haven't caught up yet but will eventually.

    Hugs and congrats where needed for now. x

    TAPLADY, cross posted so want to add my thoughts and prayers. x
