    I was out yesterday flying all over the place so have barely caught up with the news

    but

    Hugs and 'positive support' vibes heading your way pigpen.

    and of course you are excused flying until you are ready. You have enough to deal with at the moment.

    Morning all, I'm just having a break from the ironing to check through the thread - will get back to it once I have finished posting..:)

    m2mg any sign of baby yet?
    Happy Birthday
    Laura2481
    Rose well done on doing the kitchen honey :)
    Carol22 hubby did that to me once re the no clean clothes, I told him he knew where the washing machine was. Todate he has only used the machine about 10 times in the 22 years together. I did do a dramatic thing once and bought him new undies when he didn't have any clean ones - to this day I don't think he noticed :rotfl:
    FFP how is DP today?
    SarahShattered, I keep getting purple sprouting broccolli in our veg box and I am sick of it now :( Although this week I got garlic leaves as an extra - I have no idea what do with these..lol:confused:
    Wendywitch how is Max doing?
    Mudbath you always seem to finish your lists before else, how on earth do you manage this? I always imagine you have an immaculate/spotless house :DCongrats on DD for passing her piano exam :D
    Dustykitten well done with all the sorting out at your Nans, I can imagine it can't have been easy doing this. *Hugs*
    Freedom hope DH is better today.
    Sexymouse so sorry you didn't get the job, it obviously wasn't meant to be hon and there is a much better one just waiting in the wings :D
    Summermoon - *hugs* hon, I sympathise with the depression but I am slowly finding the warmer days are helping with me, not a lot but a bit. Maybe this will help you too. Re..the antidepressants you can still take them while trying for a baby, maybe this be a route worth considering. I know I wouldn’t be without mine :D

    Phil happy belated birthday to your doggie, ooh a birthday cake for him sounds nice – did he enjoy it? :D
    Toochoosy hope you are feeling better today.
    Froddy – good luck with the observation today :D
    Happy Belated Birthday iriedaughter for yesterday :D
    Pigpen I’m also sending you a hug too. Well done with the marks, with all that has gone on you have remarkably, oh and s*d the flying you have other things going on that are much more important. The fact you are there for your family is the main thing.

    I’m hoping to do some more things on the lists today. I would like to have some done by the afternoon so that I can do my own things. I want to walk into the village to go and find out what is happening to a couple of shops as DH said that one has shut down and the village greengrocer has been gutted out, not good!! I’ve then got to come home and get the car and pop to Asda for some milk as we have run out and I am not paying the Co-op prices in the village..lol

    Ooooh everytime I walk past my dining room table I get a whiff of my daffodils that I cut from the garden on Monday night..they are gorgeous :D
