Afternoon ladies :hello:
Dolly big hugs hun xx I agree with what Sarahshattered says re if you upset then it does not hurt to show it. I think it is important for children to see it, i believe it helps them to express themselves.
I still have the Living room to do and a quick S & S of the kitchen then i am all caught up, yay me:T Also i have put a load of darks in as the weather is brighter and quite windy, so they shouldn't take very long to dry.
Can i have 2 more stars pretty witty please x

DDD07 - hugs my dear, I know the shock will kick in even when it is expected. Sorry for your loss
I have been rubbish on the flying front this week and it is getting to me how rubbish the house looks. Made my list up to tackle when I get in from work in my usual HHC and see how much I can get done!
Pigpen - thanks, the weekly challenge looks like it will motivate me a bit more with the listing as CBA lately with this as nothing is selling. Will try again and see what happensfinal unsecured debt to repay currently £8333Proud to be Dealing With my DebtDFW Nerd 1154 Long Haul 1550 -

Dolly - huge hugs and prayers for you and your family. I think Dusty and SS have put it perfectly. My mum didn't tell me when my Granny died (I was 6) and it still bugs me now that she didn't let me know and won't talk about death at all. Take care and allow yourself time to grieve - it's normal and ok for LO to see x
Jo - well done
I'm going to try and put all the stuff from school somewhere neat and tidy so I can vacuum downstairs soHHC 3:50 - 4:20 anyone?"There's only one way of life and that's your own" - Levellers
