    It's amazing how much i can get done when i'm avoiding revising! :rolleyes: tbf mum doesn't work on a Monday so she worked her way through most of it - i only needed to do the windows and doors from the extras list but i have also hoovered all through downstairs, the stairs and the office, put a load in the wm, made and cleaned up after dinner, read with my niece and walked the dog. Now sitting down to watch the end of the cricket - really willing a Sri Lanka win - whilst my niece is in the shower then i'll get her into her bed with a dvd no doubt, she should be asleep by 9ish hopefully!

    A few dramas going on here atm - little bro has just found out his ex who was 'definately, 100% on the depo injection' is in fact now 10 weeks pregnant so he's a very happy bunny - not! Ah well, i'm sure it'll all work out one way or t'other and he'll have to step up to the plate! My nieces/nephews are increasing by the day atm, as my middle brother came over yesterday to tell my parents he and his wife are expecting again. Christmas' are getting more and more expensive! I have assured my parents i will NOT be adding to the brood any time soon - quite happy with my niece and puppy-dog :D

    Hope everyone is well, massive hugs to Lady-L and Toots!

    Welcome back Jo xx

    I have had a text from toots....

    Thanks to everyone for the visualisation, I really appreciate you all taking the time to think of me and sending your love and caring thoughts. I miss the thread but am resigned to the fact that they will not let me home until they are happy with me.

    So we needs lots of PMA please and she will soon be out of there :)

    Evening all,

    Thanks for all the hugs.

    We're still not sure what's going on. The police are treating it as murder and have arrested someone who also attacked someone else just afterwards. I've read two conflicting reports online one saying he was stabbed and another saying he wasn't:confused:. His parents haven't been told anything about stabbing either so i'm guessing he wasn't. Whatever's happened it isn't nice.

    I did a bit of flying before work but then went to Oh's house afterwards as he was sent home early. I really need to do a HHS and a HHI and a HHE:rolleyes:. I don't feel like doing anything.

    Oh extra big hugs Hollyh for you and your family. That must be so difficult to deal with for his parents and for you. Sending coping vibes xxxx

    Hugs holly, and in my thoughts.

    I didn't feel great today, not ill, just not great, and some of the kids were less than well behaved! I have a day's supply tomorrow, and then will be flying on Wednesday.

    I thought the house looked like a complete tip when I came in, so there was a fair amount of 'motivational shouting' on my part at the two who were at home all day. Amazing how fast the washing up can be done!:D

    I'll catch up with you all tomorrow.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
