Morning everyone

Greenbee - my conscience - I'm afraid I can't find it at the moment! I may well have decluttered it somewhere!
Galantv - well done on the weight loss
Lil-me - happy birthday to your baby!

Foggy this morning but hopefully not ice. Tax return still not sorted itself out this morning.Will work on the living room when I get home tonight

Have a lovely day people

Morning everyone, not quite sure what happened to yesterdays flying, I think I got sidetracked by falling asleep in the afternoon, watching t.v. and visiting a neighbour for a cuppa when she got home from work. Today I intend on being much better..

I am going to stay downstairs for a while though as our very own Martin Lewis is on my local radio station - Invicta Radio, during the 6-9am show. I think he is going to be talking about job losses and how to manage money etc..so thought I would listen to this before I do the heavy stuff. I can potter around downstairs flying while listening to the radio.

Tag - Sending good luck vibes to your DH, and hope he gets the job.
MSDiva - hugs to you and Tristan
Tia - Congrats on the pregnancy, here's to a healthy and happy 9 months.
Pigpen - Woohoo to the cheque clearing, now you can have a spend up. How's Tabitha doing, will she be home today do you think?
Mudbath - Congrats to your DD, I bet you are a proud mum

Hi everyone

Tristan has gone from being semi lucid in between bouts of delirium to a coma. They don't know if this is a good sign or not.

I wanted to come here and read your messages and say thank you so much to every one who is praying and thinking of him and to ask you to please continue. Where there is life there is hope and I believe in the power of prayer and positive thought. You are all so kind.

To those who asked, yes this is my friend in America who I stay up late at night to chat to on messenger and voice as he has been ill for a while now. He was my first love and always remained the most special person to me.


I have been up most of the night just waiting for news but going to crash now if I can.

Sorry to be so sad. I hope everyone has a good day today and that despite it being a cliche, that you remember to tell those you love, how much you love them.. just in case.
