Just popped on to see what's happened to Jo

Jo I'm so sorry sweetheart. I'm sure something good will come your way, Soappie's idea of temping seems like a good one to me, but I don't know how you feel about it. Big hugs to you xx

I've washed up a bit and put all the bags out the car in the bath so they are not on the floor in my way, we've got nowhere else to put them at the mo

xxjoxx think of you, I cannot offer anything except a BIG HUG, and have a look around the other threads.

Going on a picnic tomorrow

Just had a text from Toots - she's fine and says hi to everyone but is unlikely to be out until next Thursday. Am now going to sort out something for dinner - the kids are out which helps. I think I might just do trashy fishfingers, beans and chips.

But then again, I may do something more inventive.

Natts - not heard from you today - are you OK?

Toots is in hospital but it's only her normal treatment. SSL and jjef are going to visit her this weekend.

Yes, Toots is back in hospital for treatment for the muscle stuff rather than the other stuff. She went in at the beginning of this week.

Jo, I am so sorry my dear, I really feel for you and I hope something good comes out of this for you.

It makes me worry about who I work for too, they are cutting back in all areas despite winning contracts left right and centre.

I really hope all the advice on here helps you out bigstyle.

I'm on my 3rd glass of ice and vermouth tonight, so you're not all drinking on your own
