    Would you like me to pop over tomorrow night or any night during the week as I am home alone this week, so you have someone to let off steam at and your grief for your gran?

  • Hi all
    I hope everyone is ok. I think I will have to leave for a while as I just cannot keep up! Under a lot of stress as well right now, and will be for a while but I will pop on to see how you are.

    Many thanks to Pigpen Soappie and Toots for the lists, they have helped greatly.

    Take care

    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    Hugs to all who need them and there seem to be quite a few with big problems at the moment so big hugs to you all. I'm sorry I dont know how to do the nice smilies that everyone else does but my thoughts are with you all the same.

    We have another viewing tomorrow on the day I have invited 3 mums and 5 kids at my house:eek: Here's hoping we have a nice day so we can stay outside and play. Have done a bit more of list, have tidied understairs cupboard by taking inroning out of it:rotfl: but I promise it won't be going back in.

    Thanks for the link with the cake tins, I really like them too but they are as pricey as lakeland aren't they?

    Evening everyone. Since coming in tonight Ive done some sorting out on more of my book shelves. More stuff to go to charity shop. DD had her appointment with rhuematologist. They are not sure what the problem is. As its been ok for a while they are not doing anything more at the moment.

    Triker love the names for the chickens.
