    :hello:We're home too!! We had a totally brilliant time, thank you so much to rach for planning the walk - yes, it was a perfectly manageable stroll! (Even for DD, who doesn't do walking).

    Thank you to all the London meet flyladies, we have had such a lovely day, and especailly to froddington for planning it.

    Sexymouse, DD and I went to Primark (funnily enough, that was DD's idea...;)), and consequently, were quite late leaving London.

    Off to catch up a bit on the thread...

    Evening all

    We have had the friends we went skiing with round for dinner with there kids so six boys in the house all afternoon, as you can imagine not much food left. Nice time had by all but tired now.

    Greenbee - my sis always found she could relate to my Mum when she was between jobs and working in a shop or cafe but when she had a 'proper' job in the city she couldn't. The experience gap was just too big. Hugs for you and I hope things turn out as best they can for you.

    Rose - well done on today. I hope you can hold the joy of today in your memory and next time you are dreading a day out remember today and how well you coped and how much fun you had. You said it was ok to ask a JW question so please may I. I don't understand why the same Witnesses keep knocking on my door every couple of weeks and have done for years. I have no problem with people having religious beleifs but don't really want them knocking on my door and sharing them with me. I am not rude but just say no thank you - why do they keep coming back?

    Right just about time for bed. Sleep tight ladies.

    Toots - I think you need to take a bit of your own advice with the list. As you always say, things will come round again next week! Your treatment takes time and makes you tired, so just do the minimum so that the place is in a state that you can cope with.

    Taking my own advice, I'm not going to attempt to do any flying tomorrow other than wash my swimming/gym kit and clean the loo!

    Thanks for all the advice & kind thoughts. Hopefully I'll snap out of this soon... :o

    crafty thanks aunty - no painter until monday - has been lovely here today - what about with you?
    was a bit of a rush and I came home out of puff!!!
    take it easy - prepare a list for tomorrow and see what I can manage.
    toots xx
    We had a lovely morning, but I must have spoiled it by washing the windows and the car - it rained in the afternoon :-(

    You are not supposed to be doing things that put you out of puff - stop it!
    Only the absolute necessities tomorrow.
