    No wins for me too!! Not a surprise, but still shatters your hopes when you hear the letterbox, then find theres nothing for you!:mad:

    CM - Recovering from our extra long chats yesterday?;) I had chicken pox when i was 9...can't remember much about it, but just make sure she doesn't pick the scabs, cos that can llead to permanent scars!:o

    Nicky - Don't worry, wasn't offended! Hope your dh gets better soon!! He really should see the doctor!! Blackmail/bribe him if you have to!:rolleyes: ;)

    Gert - Same thing happens with me when i download adobe...i just leave it and open in ie now!

    Ragga/jenniwren/chris - Planting trees do sound really good ideas! I haven't lost any close family, but if/when i do, im gonna plant a tree in their memory, then it will seem like they're still here growing through the plant.

    (((Luck and hugs))) to everyone!!

    good morning all, hope all is well.

    Ragga, when we lost our first baby, we planted a tree. Every March, when LO was due, it starts budding and in the summer it looks absolutely glorious. Although very sad, seeing the renewing and springing back into life every year, gives me a lot of comfort. (don't tell OH but I actually talk to the tree too!)

    It just helps.

    Morning all :) We are getting stuff ready today to go visit bf's parents in Holland for a few days next week. We take the ferry over to Dunkerque on Sunday afternoon then should be coming back late on Thursday.

    So many comps to catch up with as I've been away with work again this week & I must have missed so much news from you all on here.

    *hugs* to those that would like them :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
