    I've decided to kill two birds with one stone so I'm gonna do some of my room list whilst my bath is running - it takes forever so lots of time...

    I also did the Mr Men quiz on FB and I'm Mr Bump apparently :confused:

    soappie try and chill tonight, I'm sure doogie will be fine tomorrow, try not to worry x

    Not sure if I'll get back on tonight cause I'm ker-nackered and by the time I've had my bath OH will be back round, so.....

    night all xx (probably)

    Sorry about that, SIL is doing my head in AGAIN could really swing for her at the moment and I am not a violent person usually, she just brings out the best in me :D

    Soothing :coffee: in hand and then I shall get something done. Sorry to hear Mrs OJ is not feeling so good. You certainly have your priorities right, the housework will always be there. Time with the family is priceless. It's messy church this afternoon but we have to miss it this time because of stoopid SIL and her constant rearranging of photo appt to suit her family (doesn't give a toss about what we might have on) They are doing mothering Sunday things today which they started at Sunday School last week so they will not miss too much.

    Old TFT and a few other bits ready to go to the tip when we go out after school. DW loaded but not full yet.

    Total sympathy about SIL :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Good evening all, hope you are all well, not caught up on the thread but will do in amo.
    TAG, hope you get some sleep soon.
    Rose, hope the sunshine is helping you, too.

    Took DD to her swimming lesson, she had a splash about for 20 mins only to be told by the other instructors that hers was not teaching tonight!! So I had driven for 45 mins and sat there for almost 30 mins for...Nothing... Not happy!!!

    Anyway, came home and stripped and remade DD's bed and tidied her dvd's and video's so one step ahead in that room.

    Bloomin connection gone now so will post this and catch up when it decides to come back on!!!!

    Thanks everyone for your vibes for Beffy-Boo.

    I realise I'm being a really stupid old woman about this. There are so many of you that have gone through far worse with people close to you or, indeed, yourself rather than a flipping dog! And I realise that my family doesn't, generally, do ill-health unlike many of you - we seem to be blessed. Which is probably why I'm fretting.

    I will shut up now
