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

I'm watching that too. Awful. My dad was flying across to New York the day it happened....i'll never forget how scared we were. He was diverted to Halifax, Canada and a lovely family took him in for four days until he could fly home. The human kindness that stemmed from it was amazing.

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.

Oh luv...what a time you've had! I'm so sorry xx

Thanks Pigpen. I like these rooms, especially as it will give me time to keep working at my spare room. I am determined to have a tidy house throughout by the end of the week.
