    Morning all

    Feeling almost back to normal this morning which is great.

    All quiet here as DH has taken DS2 to play football; DS1 is reffing the game so DS3 has gone to watch him ref (not he says DS2 play :rotfl:)

    :hello:Vanilla and Diva, welcome back my lovely friends

    today is the last cricket match of the season - a real fun affair - OH and DS will be on opposing teams - so someone will be happy at the end!!

    So it's one more set of washing whites......it also means 2 more people in the house at weekends....

    Hope it goes well. I sorted out and washed all the cricket clothes yesterday and now just need to put them all away until January.

    Morning All

    Still got loads to do today but hey.



    Lil-me I assume you mean ebay - I had an email about it.

    I might even put some stuff on there myself.

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Hugs

    Jue

    Oh. They sent me an e mail!

    Have just listed 4 GBA games for DS...hope they sell at a decent price because they wont allow you to charge P&P (I was going to charge 50p).

    2 loads of washing pegged out. DS decluttered to Santa Pod
    I need to go to the tip.

    ffp – huge hugs for you and OH that is terrible. Hope they find out it really was quick. Sounds as if other friend was very lucky. Makes you realise how quickly things can happen. And well done to HRH and DS2.

    Thanks Crafty. Freind was found Sat. and passed away on Monday in hospital. His family are devistated. OH has met his wife two mornings in a row at the shop and says she looks terrible, I'm just praying for them all.
