    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Good weather vibes being sent to you Rach enjoy the walk.

    Off to work shortly but really wish I was staying home today cause I'm in the mood to get more organised round here, oh well it can't be helped. Beds made, littley packed off to school, brews consumed, phone on charge, note left for teenie with a few little jobs to do when he gets in from College, tidied LR, other odds & sods.

    Mudders I certainly will be doing your latest little challenge - it's a good one cause that wall is filfeeeeeeeeee.

    Need to buy bread on way home from work cause we've run out - again! I'll have to have blinkers on in Morrisons so I don't buy stuff I don't need, I'm terrible for just 'nipping in' and coming out with a trolley full :rolleyes: I can do it! I can do it! Ooooh I need Diesel too - kill 2 birds and all that.

    have a great day lovelies

    :hello: x

  • Morning everyone,

    There is no news about Tristan. Well, only that he is still in the coma and the Drs are not hopeful. I really appreciate all the prayers and thoughts and humbly ask that you could continue a little longer. Thank you.

    Thank you also to every one who has pm-ed and mentioned us on the thread, you really make my heart sing to think that so many of you are sending positive thoughts to Tristan and his family. I know that with cancer, once someone is in a coma, then the chances of them waking up is slim, but I do believe miracles happen sometimes.
    145008001233002931-final.gifCranky made this for me on the daily thread. There is something about candles that make you feel hopeful I think.

    As I am not sleeping very well, I sorted through loads of paperwork on my desk last night and felt very fly-lady ish!

    Hugs to everyone who needs one today

    Morning all :hello:

    Haven't caught up with the thread. So hugs etc from a distance all round.

    I've got an unexpected day off work today. The CBA virus has hit me. My head is killing me, I'm aching all over, it feels like a sumowrestler is sitting on the small of my back and another on my chest and coughing/sneezing like mad. :( So plan for today is to wash some dishes so I can have a lemsip as I've run out of mugs (spent most of last night asleep on the sofa), do a load of washing so DD has a clean blouse for tomorrow/Friday and then rest on the sofa for as much of today as I can. I've even put my pyjamas back on which isn't like me at all. Only here now as I'm trying to warm up and can't.

    Will probably pop back later to see what you're all up to. :wave:
