    I haven't had time to log on since Monday evening (when I went to bed very early!), and have just caught up. I know there are a lot of you needing hugs, and there's been lots of support and good advice. My thoughts are with all of you (I've missed you :o ), but I did just want to send an extra-special message to Toots, who is such a star dealing with so much and STILL finding the time to encourage and support others. I know that everyone has made it clear that we will all be here for you, so please, ask if you need anything at any time. And look after yourself, as we need you here.

    I haven't done any flying this week, but my dad has managed to get the utility room floor clean :j :j , and is planning on sealing and grouting it before he goes home. He's also sorted out the fence at the bottom of the garden and fixed the utility room ceiling.

    I'll have quite a lot to catch up on at the weekend, but I won't be working round the mess anymore.

    Dramas at work too - my boss is off sick and his boss is leaving, so I'm now reporting into someone else (who I worked for 3 years ago) on a temporary basis until the new org structure is agreed (possibly a couple of months). Everyone is very nervous, especially as 'headcount' reduction was casually thrown into the slide pack this morning after weeks of telling us that it wasn't part of the plan. I suspect that by the time the new structure is announced all the good people will have left...

    No time to catch up properly, but I'll be back on line either on Friday or at the weekend to check up on everyone.

    Hugs and prayers for all of you.

    Despite feeling down in the dumps, on looking at the lists, I have done more than I thought! Put the timer on for 15mins earlier, and got dishes done, zoflora'd the worktops and fridge, cleared floor clutter - it's looking better!

    I'm busy busy tomorrow - course, coffee with a friend then knitting bee. Doesn't sound like much, but in Devon just driving 5 miles can take half an hour!! And Iam playing taxi driver again, picking people up all over the place. So, I shall fit in flying when I can....

    Tootles - great to hear you don't have to have the colonoscopy, they're not my favourite thing in the world either!!!!

    Thanks everyone for the healthy vibes to puddy cat and dodgy dog! Both are sleeping. Stripes found her way from the windowledge to the dining room table. I walked in and there she was stood on the table....she is not a small dog either! Monster! She says she was looking out for someone who's coming to rescue her...do you know what she meant toots:rotfl: . I've scrubbed the table so hope it's hygenic again now!

    DS has the upchucks! So he'll be off tomorrow and Friday. Still hoping to go away on Friday but just somewhere local.....fingers crossed no one else catches it.

    Floors all vacuumed and cleaned, football kit washed, all washing up to date. All lists completed so far this week.

    Hugs to all.

    Health and wealth is coming easily to all fly peeps xx

    I don't think I'll be able to do much flying the rest of the week, unfortunately I somehow started showing signs of this Noviro virus from gods only knows where this afternoon - haven't been in contact with anyone apart from hubby.. Feeling rather fragile, crampy and sick. Slept like a log this afternoon for 3 hours straight. Am going to be going to bed early with a cup of chocolate and some painkillers.

    *Hugs* to everyone that needs/wants them.

    Quillion hugs for you and DH - you are certainly facing it very bravely.
    vivw hope you feel better soon - have ahug (((hug)))

    Rach yes it has moved fast this week - too much chatting again - thats my fault with my news and you lot all giving me support - we had better be careful - remember posts are meant to have some 'flying' in them!!! We had better make a HUGE effort over the next couple of days to cut down on our posts or pigpen will be throwing things at us or more mean lists!!!:eek:

    in my HHC with PP I
    have emptied the DW
    Have reloaded the DW - took ages as it all seemed to be odd shapes
    have cleared the worksurfaces
    have sorted out the washing

    and then my cousin phoned so that put an end to it.

    but will be pottering in the kitchen for a wee while yet.
