    Not much flying done here today. I ended up getting DD2 in nursery for the afternoon so went into the office. Doing a bit more work now. Think I'd better get on with it before my eyes get too tired to look at spreadsheets.

    LadyL...huge hugs for you hun. Can't begin to imagine what you're all going through. Things like delayed results just make things worse. xxx

    Hex...condolences to you and your family. Such a sad time for you all but as you say, at least he is no longer in pain.

    ZoeLJ...glad you managed to sort the kids out. I'm sure you're missing the LO like crazy but I bet she's being spoilt rotten at her nan's.

    Rosepink...hope you're OK, you sounded a bit down earlier.

    Penny...really sorry about your hens.

    FFP...hope you're feeling better soon.

    carlsbergnan...glad all went well at the scan. It might not have been planned but it's such an exciting time for your family.

    Probably not mentioned everyone I wanted to but all this chatter is not getting my work done. I want to be in bed in an hour so best get on. Hugs for anyone I've missed who might need one. Night night everyone. x

    ETA: Missed out the flying bit....I vacuumed the sofa and chairs and cleared and wiped the windowledge in the living room.

  • Hi all,

    Not a very Flying day today, I've been to work and as I'm suffering with my
    throat and chest (keep coughing like a seal all the time) I just flaked on the sofa, DH bathed and put DS to bed so I loaded DW and cooked dinner, just sitting here now catching up, dishes in kitchen to sort out before I go to bed!

    Zoe - Hope your ear ache has got better
    Penpen - sorry to hear about your chook, chooks, my FIL keeps them and finds it distressing when something happens to them.
    Hex2 - So sorry about you FIL, big hugs.
    Hellsbells45 - Big hugs to you too xx
    Rosepink - How are you, did you have your 1 or 2 day at the weekend, I'm so
    jealous because I'm guessing you go to Haysbridge? Its so lovely there we have ours in a school gym!
    Carlsberggal - I used Bio oil all through my pregnancy it did help but I had a sudden growth spurt when I was being a bit lax about using it and what had been 1 faint line turned into map on my tummy, would still recommend it, I started using it as soon as I knew and I also plan to start using it in the coming weeks on my c-section scar, now that it seems to have stopped itching all the time!
    H - Well done on your assignment!:j
    LL - Oh I'm dont know what else to say to you other than Big hugs your way from me. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be.
    De.Nattom - well done it was what you needed to do, dont dwell on it, take your new found "bravery" and keep going forward with it. :T

    Sorry if I missed anyone hugs to all that need it.

    I've got a little more surfing to do then off to bed as I'm driving DH mad with my hacking sound! Its not doing much for me I might add!

    Will be working on todays and tomorrows lists in the morning!

    NN all TF x
