    Evening all :wave:

    I'm sticking to my own lists this week, pretty much doing the bare minimum. Kitchen is clean and tidy and I have just finished making leek, tattie and blue cheese soup for lunch tomorrow :D oh and some almond crescents. They look more like sea slugs than crescents but never mind :rolleyes:

    G&B - (((hugs))) you were a bit out of sorts last week as well. Is DD ok? ETA - crossed post...god I'm so sorry.

    LL - (((hugs)))

    Toots, AnW'sMum - welcome back...yay!!

    Hollyh - sorry, (((hugs)))

    I'm just going to settle down and watch 'Single-Handed' on ITV. I think it has already been shown throughout the rest of the UK but its new to us.

    Catch up with you all tomorrow xx

    Hello everybody

    I haven't been on here for about 2 or 3 weeks as I couldn't cope with flying whilst the children were on hols but now they are back at school I'm gonna start again - need to do the kitchen

    Hope you are all well and hugs to all who need them - gonna try to catch up with this weeks thread but no chance of doing the others.

    I'm sure it will take a while for me to get some stars again but .............. here goes

    Thinking of you LL xx

    Massive hugs G&B xx

    I've spent the day moving my dining room into a smaller room at the back of the house. We're going to make the dining room into another living room to make better use of space. Totally mad probably but worth a try. So, no list completed but not stopped all day!

    Massive hugs to all those who need them...sorry, not had time to read the thread xx

    Thats ok, thank you. DD is fine, was stressed out last week because it was my uncles funeral. He was found dead a couple of weeks back. All in a pretty crappy couple of weeks.

    No, but thank you. Went for a quick visit to my mum and dads today and my dad wasnt at work which is really unusual. Asked why he wasnt at work and it was because he had been in hospital having treatment for cancer:( He didnt want to worry us so hadnt told me or my brother. My brother still doesnt know as he is in oz and my parents dont want him to find out while he is so far away.
    Shit hun, sorry to hear that:(:grouphug:

    I've worked really hard today, there was a lot of mess on the bedroom floor and there still is but a lot less than this morning.
    I got really tired and started crying when DH came home at lunchtime. Not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow, I have things planned but might just have a duvet day

    Would you like it back!
    I'm currently putting everything in perspective by watching 9/11 stuff on Ch4.

    LO is doing really well, loving being back at school. She is learning to add:D
