    Yey, today has been a good day.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes for my DD1. She only got 5 cards and 3 were from us!

    Anyway I've done really well for me today, felt the best in a long while, antibiotic day tomorrow though so we'll see how this lasts. I've had a bath and dyed my hair, two jobs that would have been impossible to acheive a few weeks ago.

    Quillion well done on your job, excellent news.:T

    Soappie, sending whooshing great multicoloured vibes over to the chain of house moving, everything crossed.

    Jinky hope your friend is ok

    All the poorlies and those in a low mood, have a cuddle or two and I hope you feel better really soon.:grouphug::grouphug:

    Valli, we haven't planned anything as such, just going to try to use our Merlin Vouchers to see some touristy things but my particular favs would be Harrods (I've never been) and the British Museum but I love London and the vibe of the place so may just soak that up.

    Greenbee did you manage to secure the sail.

    Pigpen, hope you've had a steady, peaceful day and the lurg hasn't took hold of you. x

    GnB and Mudbath, hope your respective children are ok.

    Zoe, good luck tomorrow, remember try to be objective and always refer to the evidence, this is what courts like to hear.xxxxx


    Apologies if I've forgotton folks, I don't mean to, I've a very foggy head and forget whom I'm supposed to be referring to.

    Toots...have one of these...:kisses3:...for being a rapscallion and boogering off on your own :T:rotfl:

    Good morning all. Just a quick post before dragging DS2 out of bed - if I tell him that Hannah Montana is on, I'm in with a chance (He is 5 and plays with the little girl next door, so it's rubbed off...).

    Got weighed this morning and lost another 3lb. I really can't believe it. Might celebrate with a biscuit this breaktime. :j

    That's it for me - no laptop until I've done some serious flying this pm.

    Hope it's a good day for everyone and all the people we care about.

    Soappie - Thinking of you - best of luck - lots of vibes

    Zoe - GO GIRL - think of a nice treat for yourself afterwards. Choc & tissues at the ready.

    Greenbee - I live in Hampshire - Just - on the Wilts border, and am always on the lookout for things - as the house we've moved into has just got a plain stretch of grass and the children are manic and the dog is digging up anything I plant - grrrrrr.

    So if you'd like me to take some things off your hands - and put them in our local SSAFA (military charity) shop, just shout!

    Huge hugs to everyone as it's a Friday! XXXX
