I have TWO ironing baskets...(for pegging out etc;))
and they're both empty:o

Do they match?

Valli

actually, as I bought them together, recently, to replace my old damaged two, they do!
And they match my dish drainer, cutlery drainer, washing up bowl, spare washing up bowl AND compost caddy

go me!

Just back from work and Asda with DD1, and then driving her home. Have had a quick bite to eat and will be getting a few jobs done before joining in at 9pm.

Wll be back soon.

Just a quickie to say thank you for the visualisation taking place tonight.

LL - massive, massive hugs to you darling...thinking of you big time xxxxx

My DS has been allowed out for 24 hours. He's been home for three but it looks like the pain has started up again. We're getting him to 'teach' DH about the playstation and I've done some massage on his abdomen. If we can reduce the pain we'll stay here otherwise it's back to hospital for him. Fingers crossed.

Edited to add - I'm going to light a candle in the room next to my DS at 9pm. He'll still be awake as we're not putting him to bed until the pain has, hopefully, gone. I've told him about all his flyaunties and that they'll be thinking of him getting better at 9pm. He is really touched that you all care so much about him. He also asked if we should buy his doctor a candle to help him with his work as he obviously isn't very good yet! Classic!!

He's still in pain but not focusing on it seems to make it more bearable. He feels very grown up showing DH how to play starwars!

I'll be thinking of LL at 9pm xx

Right, as AnW's probably busy with the SWs, and Greenbee is busy somewhere, I thought I'd root around and find Greenbee's original post on how visualisation works and what to do. This is it, modified slightly just to change the names....

I think we can do this in one 10 minute slot if we imagine Toots, Lady-L and Mudder's DS as people sharing a group hug and we concentrate on the three of them at the same time and imagine, in our minds eye, them concentrating on each other too.

Visualisation Technique..

You may feel tired afterwards, in which case, just take a little time to relax and bring yourself back into reality before moving on to do other things. Imagining yourself somewhere peaceful & warm (e.g. an empty beach, or a place your really love and feel safe) is a good way of doing this....

9pm it is then...

Thank you so much for posting this technique Soappie, and for mentioning that people may be tired afterwards if they are not used to it. This is an important point.

I worked as a therapist/counsellor/life coach for 15 yrs before I had to stop due to ill-health. I still have some phone and online clients and I use visualisation quite a lot to help people achieve goals and move on through issues. Like the power of prayer, it is an incredibly powerful tool and for those who don't believe in God, is a much more approachable way to 'connect' with the universe/angels/higher power/self healing whatever they feel most comfortable calling it.

I know how powerful the flyladies were for my Tristan back in January when we all lit candles and thought of him and he came out of a 10 day coma, so I know we can work wonders tonight too sending out love and healing powers.

Hope you don't mind me commenting...

oh dear, no actual flying done. Seen decorator for a quote, organised various hospital/doctor appointments.

DD2 seems recovered, touch wood, and DD1 seems better. DH now going down with it.

Hope everyone is ok.

eta God Bless your DS mudders
