    Hi guys :wave:

    Welcome noapron :hello:

    Toots that must have taken forever! you really are lovely x

    Lily is sitting on my shoulder (she's getting heavier) and ripping ten shreds out of my hair bobble, difficult to type hunched over having your hair yanked :rotfl:

    I need food first then I've got a while till I go to work again so will hopefully get some list done.

    ETA: I'll pm you with it in a sec Jo, haven't got your email address

    ETA: Jo it's too big to go in a PM, if you pm me your email address I'll send it to you but I have to go out all of a sudden to pick eldest DS and GD up x Back soon.

    And that my dear Toots is why we missed you so much.

    Anytime you don't feel up to it i can do the stars. I have really enjoyed doing them this week.

    Just waiting to see who is going to be the first to get a Dancing banana. banana.gifbanana.gifbanana.gifbanana.gif

    If you are still not feeling up to it i will do them next week then you can return to normal stargiving and welcoming after that. Just to make sure you are fully rested.

    Glad you're feeling better toots - you must be to be able to write that epic post! :rotfl:

    Quick update on MIL - she's out of ICU and on the ward. In fact she said they might be discharging her in a couple of days. Now maybe it's just me, but I find it strange that on the ICU ward the lights are on 24/7. Surely they can be at least dimmed at night? :confused: MIL was confused largely as a result of not knowing what time of day it was, and the brain being unable to shut down properly when asleep. The KGB used to do that as a form of torture! When you are ill and needing to rest/recuperate/recover KGB methods are not the way to do it?

    Afternoon all

    Today's list Done Quillion :) (and on the right day too!)

    I've done one load of washing which is dry and put away and I've just done the cats blanket and hung that out. The washing machine is having a cleaning cycle now.

    Also had to vacuum through downstairs again (we had french stick for supper last night and most of the crumbs seemed to end up on the floor).

    Going to catch up now, back later.

    :confused:But i've checked the well and Timmy isn't there!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think i've discovered what's wrong...I left the room and she jumped on the sofa. She wants to go to sleep on the nice comfy sofa and not the bed in which she only has a towel because she ate her nice comfy bed last week!!! :rotfl:xx

    Oops....nearly forgot.....ETA....washed four wine glasses so they didn't take up half the dishwasher. I'm going to do a 60 in 60 before 1pm xx

    DS1 being put to good use by putting the washing on the line and has the grass to cut this afternoon and then collect DS3 from school as I'm working.

    Cricket match tonight as well so wont get much time before 9:00.

    Hope all are well, lots of hugs and good health wishes xx
