    Thank you all for your kind words, I went for a walk down the beach with my sister this afternoon and it was lovely down there, my Nan would have loved it :A Then we went round to mums to see her dad, they are both exhausted but okay other than that :o

    Tonight I need to wrap up some ebay parcels and then make sure everything is in my bag ready for work tomorrow. I haven't written 2010 off as a dud year yet, I'll give it one more chance ;)

    Still got 363 days to prove itself hey?

    I've had a phone call today to let me know my Nan is back in hospital after lying on her bedroom floor from 9.30pm last night to 3.00pm today, my Auntie was staying with her but didn't think to call my Dad or better an ambulance :mad::mad: My Auntie couldn't help her as she has ME and has no physical strength but not only that Nan broke her pelvis approx 5/6 weeks ago so shouldn't be moved/lifted without medical care. I just hope she's going to be ok.

    Bet the beach was stunning today BB, wish we could've made it out but we've been to DFS :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    Hope you have a restful evening ready for the week ahead, look after yourself hun. x

    Aww Tigz, I truly hope your nan is okay, its crazy how fragile life is especially when they get older; my nan was completely with it and fine less than a month ago :o

    Did you get a new sofa or did you just window shop? Pop a link to it if you did :D

    I know BB, she was fine when I saw her back in November before she broke her pelvis. And when she was in hospital and we visited she was ok, obviously in pain but ok. She's really gone downhill.... we had to go down again on Wednesday as my Dad needed help to get her to hospital for her MRI scan.

    Just waiting to hear from Dad how she is.

    We just window shopped.... but bought when we got home :o I'm going to jig my finances around to afford it, £16pm incl the scotch guard thing interest for 4 years so not too bad....

    Ours is this colour but the formal back. Similar to yours I think? Can't wait, will make our lounge feel more homely. We're thinking of painting the walls too... eek!

    Hugs hun.... xx

    ps - lets make sure this year we see each other more xx

    Awwww Tigz, I've not even opened the link yet but can see you've bought the Bethany sofa....the one I want:rotfl: I have leather 2 and 3 seaters right now, from Harveys, but they're rubbish - about 5 years old max and the middle has gone, all droopy, and the cushions are fixed so can't even put a board under!
    Jealous of the Bethany sofa.........;):D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
