  • Hi everyone

    Just a quick post before I go have my tea.

    I wanted to say that I love the visualisations but PLEASE we need to concentrate on LL and Mudbath's DS - I know you all mean well but its tiring to do and we want to be sure that we are really doing our best for them - I am ok for now but that wee man is so poorly and LL is having a really rough time so PLEASE lets concentrate all our thoughts on these 2.

    I will be joining in too at 9pm

    love and hugs
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
