    LL I have just seen your diagnosis, HUGE hugs to you. What a shock that must have been. Keeping everything crossed that they got it all and that other than regular check ups you need no further treatment.

    G&B will be thinking about you and your LO next week. Aren't kids amazing with how they cope with things. Far better than us adults!

    W has been playing on his Thomas and Lego PC games this morning. Miss A and I caught up on some taped TV while she made a golden wedding anniversary card for PIL. Done flip all flying but I don't care :p :rotfl: *only saying that cause Pigpen is not here!*

    Toots hope you are having a great time with NOF :)

    Am sure I have missed people out, it's not intentional so everyone have a hug **HUGS**

  • "Just sorting out plan for weekend - seems like alot, but if I break it down into bite-sized pieces, it'll be fine! Adaptation of Talented Mr Ripley and lots of other goodies on the radio today, so lovely to work along to.

    Despite a rather late start (was reading into the wee small hours) am feeling positive today! Thanks for the info, Philb and Gratefulforhelp

    Hope all is well for all you lovely fly-peeps, have a great day!!" sorry i messed up quoting you

    It's a pleasure, and the Talented Mr Ripley thing is brill, I caught some of it last weekend.;)
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Right I am back and finally finished for now, I am wacked (as in tired)!!
    :rotfl:

    Toots Mon to Fri lists all done
    :D :j :D :j :D :j :D :j

    I have also cleaned and power washed all the soot out of green house, sorted out heater, had to wack it with a hammer as it had warped, put back out the solar lights (not sure if they will work yet)

    Ended up looking like one of Fagin's children he use to send up the stack to clean them! :rotfl: so had to have a bath, and then had to re clean that as it had soot all round it.

    Now letting greenhouse dry out, hope to plant my seed tray up tomorrow.

    On gene reunited, I have finally got a lead into my mother's dads line of fmaily back to c1870, I was starting to loss faith that any one would pop up, anyway a distant cousin has along with 225 other direct family memebers :j that just leaves my mother's mum's side to find, and it seems that I am the oldest on the line of the family now as all the others have passed away.

    AnW'smum, if Miss A is showing an interest in growing flowers, why not start her on sunflowers and marigolds, they are fairly easy to grow.

    Off to declutter toast as I am starving from all my work.

    Then off to the local market for veg.

    Left to do:-
    Fold washing when dry
    Ironing
    Hoover out car

    Have a good afternoon

    Back from work (shame it's not like this every day!!). Think it was worthwhile going, got lots of people signed up for my thing. soappie think you would've liked the meeting, it was a GP surgery patients' meeting and they gave the high up woman from the PCT a really good roasting!! It was something different for me though as the whole thing was in 2 languages - English and Sylethi and some of the English doctors even spoke bilingually.

    Dropped in at mr S on the way home to pick up a bottle of wine for tonight when we're going to friends for dinner. Having a cuppa and a sit before I do some flying. Trying to work out whether to do an online shop to come monday or just brave the shops myself as i'm off work.

I've never taken STs before, and the effect was incredible - out like a light at 8:30 and slept through until 7 :T A bit stiff this morning, but we've done some light gardening, and I feel great :j :j :j

    Afternoon all,

    Well after my last post, I realised that I needed to wash my hair today, so did that before I headed out into town. I took the duvet with me using one of the unused charity bags which had been put through the door - the perfect size and it had handles too! Went to the bank and paid in OH's cheques, had some lunch, went on the free bus to Mr T to get some washing powder as hadn't brought any with me and realised I didn't have any coins for the machines either, put duvet in the washing machine and then went to the market (just around the corner) to buy apples (10 for £1) and get the change in 50ps for the TD. Didn't bother drying it thoroughly, as I can dry it on the bannister on the landing, and the WM cost £6 and I put £1 into the TD. Still, it's lovely and white - before it looked cream so it obviously needed it. Should be dry by tomorrow so I can vaccuum pack it.

    Making Toad in the Hole for dinner tonight, so will S&S the kitchen whilst I'm in there.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 5-5.30? I need to scratch some things of my lists.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
