toottifrootti

likklegibbon nice to see you back - hope all is well with you and yours xx
hollyh well even though you didnt get all your stars last week you must have made some progress as you are on the ball today!
carlsberggal :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: what can i say.......:rotfl: I expect at least [STRIKE]one [/STRIKE] 2 stars from you this week - now thats quite doable evn for you!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy having DS home xx
dinx I am glad you didnt need to send a search party out for the missing furniture:p:D - try not to lose them again - its very careless:rotfl:
LadyL glad to have you are in our 'gang' - you have done loads so stop being critical of yourself - take a chill pill!!!:D Have you asked the funeral directors themselves? Otherwise what about a small 'no health check' life policy to cover it?
FFp Piper looks ever so cute in her uniform - have you survived the day without her???
Triker well done for being a good girl and resting -love the chooks names!!! :rotfl:
nice to see you again mudders - I missed you - how is spotty dotty floppy poppy puppy dog?
Jo (((hugs))) dont let the b*gger wear you down - we are all here if you need to chat - you know you can call me any time xx
bonsibabe just noticed your location -just 100 miles up the road from me!! well done with the re-organising - that should help a lot.
pigpen thats a great bonus from the insurance co.
AnW'sMum :eek::eek::eek: 997 - what the .....is it david bailey's love child you have there????
mumofjusttwo (((hugs))) thats the idea angel - give him fair warning and then I would start sending things back - you dont want things in your name and your address being affected.
thifty Asda do the boxes with the snap tight/ overlapping lids - they are good because they are almost airtight
oh no julie how exasperating!
JennyBee nice to see you again - hope you and yours are doing well - just seen another post from you - (((hugs)) honey - its all stress and major problems for you though - it doesnt matter what the rest of us are coping with its whats going on in your life that really matters at this point in time - yes we can feel for others but it doesnt change our own situations - I am really sorry that steve has been another statistic and I hope he isnt too depressed by it - as for the written of car so long as you were all ok thats what matters - I am hoping you have insurance to cover it - i know its a pain but cars can be replaced people cant! hey chin up sweetie ....its not October yet ...who knows what will happen by then - keep looking at the jobs - perhaps you may find something more suitable and things will work out for S too.
johanne oh thats too bad honey - as for his stuff - if you have time then pack it for him so that if he arrives unannounced again you can just tell him to take it with him and it will be gone from under your feet. huge squishy (((hugs)))
jaynebryan well done on your first day - you dont have to worry about the tree - i already did it for you - but the instructions were in the pm I sent you
froddy aw hugs angel - thats a difficult day for you so its not surprising you feel down
OrkneyStar - yay - glad you got it all sorted. he is lovely - would have hated to lose that cute face!!! One for his future wife!!!
hellen (((hugs))) for you - first of all we all deal with deaths differently so just because you are not sobbing doesnt mean you dont care or are not sad - your DD has lost someone she enjoyed seeing and maybe its the first death she has encountered of someone close to her so maybe thats why she is taking it hard - just be there for DD and your Mum and dont feel guilty it only eats away at you. I hope tomorrow is not too traumatic for you all.
pigpen WOW you are really getting stuck into sorting out the house - is OH being there giving you extra incentive and because he is supportive? i am so pleased for you as its been long overdue. Hows the little family getting on?
elly how awful for you - that is sad to have to do that - how old is she if you dont mind me asking?
Jo change you number - cos he sure as hell isnt getting the message! You dont need the added pressure and you are far better off without him IMHO (hugs)
toots xx

I have to do some work on the allotment tomorrow as it's become a bit overgrown in the week we've been away. We're away again this weekend at a family wedding so I have to find some time to go and weed. DH will be cutting the grass there on Weds evening so I haven't got to worry about that tomorrow.

I'll be up early and do a bit of flying before I go and will finish off when I get back. Need to pop into town tomorrow afternoon and do a few errands too so a busy day !

Will catch up tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good evening xx
