    Morning all

    Jinky - I really hope the op goes well (Close friends DH had a tumour removed from his brain last Thursday, 15 hours later, he was out of surgery and is doing very well so far)

    Zoe
    - thinking of you and sending you strength

    Off to do my dailies and I'll be back at coffee time.

    Just remembered I have no petrol in the car.

    note to self p 22
    glad I am doing a catch up though or I would not have seen Greenbee's confections
    *drools profusely*
    *is green with envy at (a) the talent and (b) the patience it took*

    will zip in accordingly but am re-instigating Valli's grand plan which means two busy days getting house and work in order then I can veg at the weekend.

    Too tired to pop in during the evenings because on Tuesday we had a twilight, another to come and the plan is a day off on a Friday. Blimmin marvellous as I will not benefit from that. (rant deleted in case I get tracked LOL)
    Last night I stayed to do a display all by my own self (rant deleted again) and some tidying in the classroom. I left at 7pm. So in the last two weeks I have done a ten hour stint and two 11 hour ones. The 'small' people in my house barely recognise me. Burden being shouldered here. Humph.

    Morning all,

    Big hugs Zoe .

    Good vibes to Jinkys friends Brother.

    I took Ds2 to the Castle this morning inbetween the school and nursery runs to feed the ducks. All the little ducks were on the bank waddling back into the water when we got there, they were so cute. We did end up a little bit late for nursery though as we were jumping in the brown leaves for too long. I think i'll take a towel next time so Ds2 can go in the park.

    Massive hugs Zoe - we're here for you if you need us and tomorrow we'll all send lots of virtual support so you're not really alone. Hugs to you xxxx

    Jinky - healing vibes for your friend's brother xx

    I'm off to sort my list out for today and give you all a shock when I manage to achieve four lists in week!!

    After months and months and months of trying to find a roofer we finally found one two months ago who'd do the job....why has he phoned up today to say he can do the job tomorrow or Monday! We don't have the money until Tuesday when DH gets paid because i've not worked whilst DS has been ill. I'm tempted to borrow it from my children's account and then pay it back on Tuesday - at least it will be done then. Decisions decision!

    Right, off to sort a list! xx
