  • Oh, and I keep meaning to ask - what is a beanbag dance? Is it just running round the house emptying all the bins, or is there more to it than that?

    Thanks guys x

    You sound like me, I'm a bit emotional too. It's fine to cry about your little hamster, at least she was loved and thats what matters.

    I remember going to a funeral of a great Uncle of my ex, I was in such a state I had to be comforted by his Mother and sister........trouble is I'd never met the bloke nor even known of his existence until he departed and we were invited to the funeral!!:o

    Embb - I'm so sorry to hear that Poppy had died. I didn't read that post when I posted about hibernation. Massive hugs to you...when my DDs guinea pig died we wrapped her in a hand towe and buried her. Then we put snowdrops on her...one of them flowered yesterday and both me and DD cried! Massive hugs again xx

    Rach - my toes have never gone numb. I had a client who bought a size to small as the assistant said they should be tight. She's never been able to wear them because she can't feel her feet. Mine are a bit loose so I wear thick sock with them and they're fine.

    Sorry toots - the peace is disturbed because I'm back.

    Does anyone reckon I have to pick my children up from school...the house is so tidy without them in it!!!

    I've just been decluttering DSs bedroom. The cat was asleep on a cushion on the window ledge and was snoring...I did her eardrops and she didn't even wake up bless her! I've gone up twice to check she was breathing. She is but it's very shallow so i'm not sure if she's on her way out naturally - little pud! xx
