  • Hi All, :wave:

    Sorry, not read beyond tuesday.... but will eventually.

    My friend's little boy has had to go back into hospital. He's really really poorly. Please all, healing vibes for him again. I believe so much in the power of positive healing vibes... so please, if you're that way inclined, a thought in his direction would be great. Thank you lovelies. :wave:

    I'll be back later guys. Thank you again.

    PS Toots - I've PM'd you
    what you want to do , is go up to UserCP, click on it, then look down the menu on the left hand side. click into edit signature. then put anything you want and the line will come automatically with whatever you put under it!

    sorry everyone else who had already dealt with this.... i didn't see that until later, as i was catching up lol

    lovely tidy bookcase (compared to how it looked before - imagine lots of dust, piles of stuff, glasses, mugs, sweet wrappers :rolleyes: )

    The rest of the room :eek:
    And no, I don't just leave drawers open, they've collapsed inside so can't open or close any further.
    But will certainly require some work tomorrow, possibly a good thing that OH isn't working, I may be able to clean in peace :rolleyes:


    So why can't I see the photos then????? :confused::confused:
