    Just popping in briefly because I still have loads to do for some reason.

    I wanted to say that, Sunny Girl, I'm so pleased things went as well as these things can go.

    Also, F1, you must be so proud of your DS. I'm really pleased he had a chance to get his feelings out on paper. Let's hope something positive comes of it - tell him 'well done' from me.

    Will catch up with you all tomorrow. Yet again, the day has disappeared on me today!

  • aww sad news F1 - I dont know her but am about to send bits off so hope they will be of use!
    Good that ds know we are thinking and praying for him...tell him his hon auntie isom says that God sends angels to prepare the way for him and more alongside him and behind him so even if we cant keep him covered know a "man" that can. Give him a big squidgy hug from me and tell him I hope that he will feel strong and confident with his heavenly friends looking after him as only they can...no btw I've not been drinking! A friend reminded me of this when I had a dire situation and it helped no end...could almost touch them!
    sommat to make you smile...I finished my bunny with pink dress for lovely 3yr old and delivere it yesterday on the way to babysit. Spoke to mum today and she said she loved her bunny and when asked who made it "Isoke" (my cat) she confidently replied "and she helped paint the radiator the other day!"...what a supa dupa intelligent, dexterous cat have I!
    Spent the eve finishing my first chalky square and attemted to start with my dpn's for cat basket...heeelp! A disaster! Poss not the best time to start with a head cold!! Off to bed I go!
    ps anyone know when lh challenges are going up...am getting a tad frustrated as feel all in between!!

    Good Morning one and all
    I was glad to wake up this morning as it was a night with chapters of dreams.

    I went to bed before DOH not that early in the end but the footie was still on.
    I dreamt he came up turfed me out of bed in my nightie, opened the front door and said I had to go as he had enough and I was " Boring" It was so real !!!! Anyway I was glad to feel hin quietly get into bed and go to sleep !!! We have laughed about it this morning!!!!!

    Well what sad news on Loving Hands-- Obviously something is a bit out of kilter at the moment!!! May it correct itself very soon!!!

    May Pattern not too tricky I am sure -- just me being thicky1

    Well off for coffee with friends this morning. Then 2 heads ,shoulders,knees and toes!" and then some quiet time

    Suunnygrl. Pam ,F1DS ,Salome,ma
    y and anyone else who needs one -- a gentle
    hug
