Halight - thanks, I am really looking forward to it we got the Tikka Masala and Korma banquet for 2 yummmm loads in it. Shame about the results its awful having to wait is'nt it? the QE is not too far from us, the new hospital is so big, 3 buildings but I suppose they interlink somehow. I am looking forward to having a look around.

:wave:Donny-gal - hope the weather behaves itself for you in Henley.

Ladyshopper - Ahh I remember it well, pockets full of soggy tissues, I used to come out looking like Rudolph :rolleyes:;)

Lemon_Verbena - I am impressed, well done on finding all you needed for bargain prices to :T

mrs-moneypenny - those muffins sound yumm could I have the recipe please, if you dont mind

Thriftlady - How strange, I tried pressing Alt + 130, and it worked as you said - but when I tried to show you in my post, it appeared as an exclamation mark instead even though it was an e acute when I was typing!

Yes, I've found that MSE doesn't like e acutes It like other accents though è ê ô à ç .

Just back checking the thread and Congrats to Fairy Elephant on your heartbeat! Crossing everything I have that for you and like everyone says put your feet up and rest, rest, rest.

NPM - Noah's party sounds like good fun. I can I come too?!!!

Hi all,
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. DD is better today, and after a talk with fiance, have decided that even though baby wasn't planned, they are going to try again. Hopefully, it will be okay next time.:o

Ex-FIL passed away at 2.10am. All his family were there.including DS, who was pretty upset when I talked to him this morning, although he sounded better this afternoon. ExHubby is pretty cut up. He's the eldest, so all the arrangements have fallen to him. We get on really well now, and I am going to go to the funeral, to support my kids. He doesn't mind, neither does Ex MIL. In fact she was quite touched that I'd bothered to go and see him.

Anyway, I am emotionally drained now, and rtying to keep going. Legs have given up at the moment, so I'm off to rest.

Thank you all again for your love and support.

Evening all
TFI Friday, hugs to hilstep, Happy B'day to Noah & Mrs MP, congrats to FE.

It's been a horrible week, I've had the repair men in everyday at work, everything that could break did, hubby's had 2 accidents at work & today I was told that I am being moved out of my large, light, airconditioned room, into a smaller room with no aircon & one very small window. So I will be back to working in 104 degrees, I love being bottom of the food chain!!!
Have a good evening everyone.
Hugs Hester

FE woohoo :j:j well done you x

hope Noah had a great birthday

just back from watching harry Potter , very good I thought it would scare me but it didnt and there was some good humour in there too
eaten far too many sweets ( mr T's foam fruits and midget gems 32pand 29p- smuggled in to the cinema with a couple of bottles of water ) must have saved a fortune on cinema prices :A
no tea tonight as too full

Congratulations FE:T:T

Have a great holiday Thriftllady

Thank you Ivyleaf, we are so happy and relieved. Have lots of hard work to do and need to keep a very close eye on the cashflow but we are very lucky.

Had a nice day today although not been as produtive as I hoped. Currently tipping it down here so no watering tonight.

Really enjoyed homegrown marrow and peas with our dinner.

Havnt got very far with next weeks planning, we are going to Mersey Island on Monday though - hope they dont change the weather forcast. Think will go and see Harry Potter later in the week and thats about it for now. Updated my budget spreadsheet and we spent a lot of money at the beginning of the month on unecessary stuff so are def watching the pennies till August.

Hope you all have a lovely Friday evening, a good friend dropped round some Krispy Kreme donuts, think I will have one with a cup of coffee watch a little TV then have an early night.

Hilstep - What a difficult week, i hope you can get some rest now (((HUGS)))

Hester - How horrible that you've got to move rooms - are you going back to the one you were stuck in before? I'm very indignant on your behalf! Sorry to hear about all the other stuff too, I hope your hubby is ok!

mrs Moneypenny - Hope you've had a lovely birthday, sorry I missed it earlier, I knew there was someone else with a birthday! Thanks for the coffee and cake

sistercas - We're planning to see Harry P next week and I'm hoping we can manage to smuggle some bottles of water in too!

halight - Hope you managed to get through to the consultant's secretary and that you don't have to wait long for your appointment (((HUGS)))
