    Wipe the table and dining chairs
    Empty the under the sink cupboard.. give it a wipe out and put back neatly the things you NEED.. get rid of or rehome the rest!

    Muddybuddy... terrific news for DD.. you do right to be gushing!! and well doen her.. I hope she really soars!

    Toots.. bah to the evil one... I'd not go either.. tell them that you are going them just tell her 'you forgot' see how she likes it!!!

    Juliebookworm.. there is no such thing as luck.. good or bad.. there is good fortune and misfortune.. nothing you do or do not do changes anything.. my 6 year old putting an umbrella up in the house did not cause my cooker to burst into flame.. that was DS2.. breaking a mirror did not make my hubby's cousin die.. that was illness... everything has a cause and an effect.. though if you leave the decs out... I'll make you dust them!!

    Back form college.. off to pub.... blooming DNA.. piece of the pee....

    Little cousin is hopefully coming home at the weekend now he is feeding well...

    ~~~~~~~~Healing vibes for s-girl's friends LO... ~~~~~~~~~~

    nicki/GnB... so when the ortho's were on about DD4 having a 'back brace' for her curly spine due to differing leg lengths causing the body to twist that is what they were on about??? :confused: I think I'd be a bit sad.. it looks like a burden for a teeny body.

    Off to pub see you later!

    Right I'm off to bed to read a Terry Pratchett book. Have decided to post reviews about his books. Every penny counts, plus it uses the little grey matter.

    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:

    Thoughts and prayers and healing vibes for him
