Money_saving_Diva_2

Morning ladies!

Mumoffour - My condolences on your Grandmothers passing but I love your attitude and it sounds like she had a fantastic life.
lil_me - I always cry during the Festival of Remembrance. I watched 'Voices from WW2' the other afternoon and wept quietly throughout most of it. I will be watching the Cenotaph parade this morning and I know I will cry again.
Jinky my lil friend -
Toots and rosepink
LadyL - Always lovely to talk to you sweetie.

Update on Tris - I spoke to him earlier today and he logged on about 30 mins ago too. He isn't typing much as I think he keeps falling asleep. Apparently the first op was to remove some more cancer, the second to stop an internal bleed and then about 36 hrs ago he had to have a kidney transplant! I am amazed he is even able to log on never mind type anything. By the way, I told him about all the support and prayers coming from here and he asked me to send back this message:
Tristan says:
Very sweet. Tell all of them thank you.
And a big from me too and I hope you will all continue to send healing vibes his way.

Ok, I hope you all have a lovely relaxing Sunday, I plan to get out to do some gardening if the weather stays clear.
Warm gentle to all who need or want them. And happy flying if you do any.

Morning All

Huge hugs mumoffour and carol - thinking of you both and your families.

Good news about Tris Diva.

Jinks - are you having a stop-off on your way to Dazco's? I'm on the way.

We ended up nipping into town yesterday to take a couple of dresses back and I got my grandad's birthday present at the same time - BHS has 20% off again. Then we went to the pub and had a late lunch before nipping to Mr Ts to get some sand for school but they'd sold out. Went to the Firework display last night which was good - the kids had had a great time but were shattered although DD wanted to stay longer but DS was too tired.

Not sure what's happening today yet - DH is going to visit his friend in hospital this afternoon but other than that nothing planned. DD said she wanted to go to the Rememberance parade so not sure yet. I'm full of cold so that's good fun - not - but I've got loads to do.

Have a good day all

carol What a shock. I am sorry to hear about your dad. Take time for yourself, remember we are all here for you. Hugs, love and prayers for you and your family.

Huge hugs and condolences mumoffour. We are here for you.

MSD I am still praying for Tris. What an amazing person he is, able to log on and give an update despite all that he has and still is going through. A plucky guy.

I have been up for an hour now but can't really do any flying in case I wake up any light sleepers upstairs. Actually, the amount of beer they drank I could probably vacuum the landing and they wouldn't notice.

My new meds seem to be preventing me from sleeping:)

I forgot to say that DS2 wants help towards motorcycle riding lessons on a big bike for his b'day. I rang the trainer yesterday and he will take staged payments so that we can help towards the costs. First lesson is on Wednesday.

Sorry just rambling in my half awake state.

Morning lovelies! :wave:

Mumof4 Sorry about your nan, what a fabulous age though, I have a couple of customers in their 90's and I love them to bits, we spend half the time nattering and drinking tea and gawd help me if I refuse a cuppa :eek: did it once wont do it again. Take care xx

It's raining, like proper raining, the gutter outside my bedroom window is dripping and it woke me up, gonna put a card into the council about it later.

Got lots of washing to do today, littley's off to Eurodisney with inlaws on Wednesday and it seems all her clothes are in the washing basket need to sort it pronto. Need to do dailies and S&Sing oh and a trip to BHS (thanks for the 20% off tip Jules :j ) may aswell get littleys last xmas bits whilst they're cheaper, I assume clothes are included.

Dropping DD1 at work at 8.30ish so will potter about until then, and perhaps get a paper on the way back.

morning all

I've woken up a bit groggy, not sure why as I didn't have anything to drink last night. Possibly just a bit dehydrated so I'll down a couple of pints of water.

I can't decide what to do this morning. DH is going to do a practice exam 10-1 and I'm in two minds whether to go to church or not. Having been out all yesterday I could do with some time here, plus I could do with nipping into town . On the other hand if i do go to church I can nip into Bromley (nicer town) afterwards. I'll see what time DH gets up as I need to leave in about half an hour for church. we'll be going out for lunch as usual.

This aft I need to do some flying, not sure I'll get through the whole lists but I'll try my best!

hugs to all. xx

Morning all. Remembering all our war heroes today, the recognised and unrecognised.

Madness here today as acres of washing and ironing to do, and cleaning and tidying in readiness for the surveyor coming.

mumof4 so sorry to hear of your family's loss.

toots hoping you have a better day today.
