Evening all! It's the weekend :j and I survuved the class trip - just :rolleyes:
I am being very naughty and eating a takeaway curry at the moment but it is yummy

penguin - Happy Birthday!

Diva - hope the funeral went ok

rach - glad the hospital was positive. Have you checked with DH about the 24th?

Triker - glad you're feeling positive

greenbee - great choice of hymn and poem; interesting that they are both Confederate! My dad would love both of these. Glad you're back safely but a big :mad: for your boss

I have had an Indesit washing machine for nearly 11 years and have never had anything wrong with it. Bear in mind though that I don't do as much washing as those of you with children!

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying your takeaway - you're allowed the occasional treat you know!

This is another poem that I love:

A Live Well Lived

Some people just can't help making
A difference in our lives.
By simply being who they are,
They make the world a little brighter,
A little warmer,
A little gentler,
And when they're gone we realise
How lucky we are to have known them.

I think this is probably how most flyladies feel about toots when she disappears off to hospital...

ETA ... and I like 'Morning has broken' as a hymn too... !

Just a quick post from me to send massive hugs, healing vibes and .loads of love to Mudbath and her DS - as the others have said - look after yourself honey - EAT!!!!!!

to penguin xx

Another disruptive day here just when i thought i would catch up :rolleyes:
I WILL catch up tomorrow!!!

sleep well everyone

Love and hugs
toots xx

Aarrgghh!! That has to be my least favourite hymn ever!!!!!

I like Abide With Me - we sang it at my brother's funeral (my choice)

I have heard from a couple of people about meeting somewhere in London on the 24th - anyone else interested? All welcome!

And now I need some sleep as I have a bit of a headache :rolleyes:

I don't think you could find a more fitting verse!

I don't mean as sung by 200 primary school children... I mean sung properly!

Could well be... once I work out what the date is now and when the 24th is and what else I might be supposed to be doing...

Isn't that an occupational hazard of working with children! Hope you feel better in the morning.

Right... I must go to bed, as otherwise I'm just going to prolong the jet lag! I need to get up tomorrow morning.

Toots - I've got lots more bits & pieces that I won't post on here, but if you're interested I'll email them to you.

Hello again I dont seem to be abel to keep up with this thread you all talk so much!
Mudbath huge hugs for you and yours, after going through whooping cough in greece with dd when she was 9 weeks old I hope to never experience again the gut wrenching feeling of dread you get when your baby is ill. Please look after yourself as it will give you strength, vene if you dont feel like eating, do. And give him a huge hug from me.
toots big hug for you too my lovely, cant believe how brave you are picking out funeral songs
Greenbee sounds a nightmare of a trip, you inspire me how you always make time to exercise. My excuse was i needed a new sports bra, i bought one last week and still havent done anything apart from wash it!
Soapie the floor looks great and congrats to you ds and dil on their flat. We have had our valuation man on wed and all seems fine. Our buyer wants to come round on sun to measure up for curtains and stuff, just darent believe it will all work out and dont know yet whether it will happen before CHRISTMAS or after CHRISTMAS:p. Just thought i would use the c word there!
Ali congrats on baby
