    I'm trying to think of reasons why I might need to go up to the Edinburgh office so I can drop in on Toots and check up on her ;). I've checked the map, and there is a definite shortage of flyladies in her part of the world... and she definitely needs keeping under observation! Do you think soappie would lend us her webcam?!

    Now I know it sounds a bit far-fetched, but as flyladies are good at healing/helpful vibes, I wondered whether we could agree a date and time when flyladies across the country could spend a couple of minutes focussing really hard on shrinking toots' tumour... (toots... do you mind being part of a medical trial ;)??) to see whether we can help her treatment along. Obviously toots would need to be resting at the time, and thinking about all the flyladies thinking about her and accepting our help (something she's not that good at, being an independent kind of girl...)

    Can you tell I'm bored of job hunting :p

    Anyway, let me know what you think...


    Great Idea im in xx

    Hi everyone...

    Hope you have had a good day. I have had quite a productive day which is always good :DTuesday's list completed and I gave the ensuite a really good clean this morning. This afternoon I caught up with some paperwork, and filing, and booked some refresher antenatal classes that I would like to do. I remember going to some classes before dd was born. They gave everyone some gas and air to try, and then one midwife did a roleplay pretending she was in labour...very bizarre! We have moved since then, so I am curious to find out what the antenatal classes will involve here.

    Toots - :wave: it is lovely to have you back! Take care of youself and take things easy xxxx

    Dusty - thanks so much for your post last night. I had not even thought about using the ibuprofen liquid with the calpol, so I tried it. It brought ds's temperature down quite quickly, and he had a really settled night, which he needed. He has been a bit better today. I am still not sure if it was the jabs he had or whether he has caught some bug. Anyway thanks again for your advice - it was much appreciated xxx

    Right, I am off for an early night in a little bit. Sweet dreams and I hope you all have a good day tomorrow xxx

    Hopefully rach is now off celebrating!

    Quillion - hope you're fully recovered soon. I'm glad your friend's op went well

    L-L - I hope you have some answers soon (((hugs)))

    Triker - I suggest you abandon your DD and visit Pigpen (we could do with a report back ;)) to check she's still in one piece (mind you, it sounds like she might be a bit scary right now :D)

    nicki - well done on getting back to work

    mOZzy - congratulations on selling the house... you're going to have to move now :eek:

    Hugs and healing vibes to all those in need of them, and the rest of you too...

    Greenbee!!!!!!! -stop avoiding doing the important stuff - I know its boring but ...... get on with the job hunting and doing that CV - I may not be fully fit for flying but I can still nag!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but it sounds like a good idea!!!

    I still havent caught up with the thread but I see that HRH is not well so HSgetwell.pngpigpen - and TRY to rest it will help you get better quicker. I know you dont listen to us much but do you really think you should be going to college?

    I have been very good today and done next to nothing!
    1 x washing that I have had to drape about the airer and radiators as it has been rainy all day
    loads of phone cals
    deleted emails
    sent emails
    flicked through 2 magazines
    and................... had a nap for a couple of hours!!!!

    so you see I am being good - you can all stop worrying!

    And now I am going to make a cuppa and have something to nibble before going to bed - I have been in bed about 10.45 most night and have been reading for about 15/20 mins so will do that at home as well.

    Will catch up fully tomorrow but in the meantime hugs to everyone as you are all so special and desrve them.

    love
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
