Hi Everyone :wave:
Feel like I've been AWOL for ages! Just caught up on the thread. But missed about 400 posts from last week's. I decided to sit in the park yesterday afternoon, throwing the frisbee for the dog, and catching up with an old friend. Fantastic! It's glorious here again today. So washing must go on the line. Going to whizz round now and get my lists completed.

Oooh my new iron has arrived, wow talk about fancy - I love it!!! I'm going to put it to good use today
My ears are still playing me up after yesterdays debarcle of getting water in them and then not being able to hearI still can't hear, it doesn't help that I only have one good ear as it is..I can't hear in my left ear as it is normally but now my right ear sounds like everything is an echo or in a tunnel..lol So I shall keep taking the painkillers/ibuprofen and hope it clears up very soon. Oooh I just noticed I can hear the washing machine spinning - think they might be clearing a wee bit more!! Just can't talk on the phone at the moment, still that isn't a bad thing for me..lol

Newbies - don't believe Valli when she says she's the sane one, she's the same as us - completely bonkers!! Hugs Valli
Rosepink - I read your post yesterday about wondering how Toots was and then about you looking behind your sofa - my thoughts then turned to why would Toots be behind your sofa!! I think I lost the plot a bit then...lol
Toots - how's it going honey? Huge hugs being sent your way. I don't know how you have so much energy, you are an inspiration to us all.
Gingernutbizkit congratulations on your first star, here's to many more.
