Morning ladies!
Pigpen - I am so so sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
Greenbee - those bags looked gorgeous the other day, how clever of you!
holly - Well done on the weight loss.
Toots - That was a lovely idea for the stones.Managed to finish darning the 3ft tear in my sheet yesterday and am very proud at how neat it is considering I haven't sewn anything in years. Also edged and folded and edged again the muslin cloth so it's layered and more useful. I did think about keeping one edge open so I could slide a bar of soap inside and use it like that..Anyway, my list for today is as follows -[STRIKE]
Feed the cat at least twice
Brush the cat
Sort and delete 10 emails
reply to emails
Clean bathroom sink
Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtainsFill WM and put on[/STRIKE]Extras
Make sammys for OH lunch
[STRIKE]Put breadmaker on[/STRIKE]
Polish computer keyboard and screen and tv
Sort through at least one crate from loft - failed from yesterday
Edge the second muslin cloth
Work out GC spending for this week and amend siggyI hope you all have a successful day flying.to all who need them.

good morning all,
I put the spare room bedding in the wash yesterday so am off to put that in the dryer.
Littley wet the bed so we have been up early, so im off to strip his bed and get that in the machine! Thank god for bed mats!!!!!!!!
Zoe massive hugs for you pet. And not to give you a hard time, but in light of everything you and your children have already been through, its really really important you are as prepared as you possibly can be for Friday. That way you can hopefully get the best possible outcome for you and your littleys xx
Please please please please make the time to do nothing today except sit on the sofa and read through those papers. We will all be here for you if you want to have a good old moan/cry/rant/blubber afterwards. But please read them xxxSometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

Morning,
Hope your Fil's op goes well Rach.
Hugs to Zoe, we are all here for you.
Not done much flying, been tending to the sickies.

Zoe ditto what the others have said. You're a strong lady, going through a heck of a time. Is there anyone that can help you read through the papers? A support worker perhaps?
Remember that we're all there with you in spirit, virtually holding your hand, and giving you gentle back rubs.
Get em read babes, you can do it.
