    Good Morning everyone,

    Sorry I posted and dashed last night, I missed out on two important posts from Jill and Mudders. Jill congrats to your friend for the baby boy - have they chosen a name yet? Mudders - I'm so sorry about your friend. I'm pleased for her that it was a peaceful passing, and I hope that offers you some comfort. Hellsbells, your daughters sewing attempts sound excellent, and all the effort you're putting into it will be well worth it. Natty, I totally prescribe a whole day in bed, with lemsip and a good book! Toots, thanks for the deadline (and guidance), I'll keep that in mind for Sunday. Thank you so much for keeping track of all this x

    My laptop has gone AWOL (with DH :mad:) today, so I'm sitting in the study with the s-l-o-w terrestrial PC in a barely heated room... That should cut down the amount of time I spend on the thread, anyhow! :rolleyes:

    I've also realise that my IMPORTANT PINK FOLDER with all the bills, paperwork etc I had to do today is in the laptop case... which is also with DH... :mad::mad::mad::mad: ... wish I'd remembered that at 8:00am not now....:o

    Hey ho.

    I've copied the list, add some stuff of my own, and printed it all off. Off to move around and get warm again... HHB at 9:30, anyone?

    MissH
    xxxxx

    p.s. Hugs Mudders xxx; and also Diva xxx (I cannot believe the irony of this latest twist after all he has suffered)

    This is what my list looks like. Doesn't seem to bad I'm sure I can achieve it.

    Patterns arrived today, so hopefully will go and get material for 2 leisure suits and possible a pair of PJ (yes it is so flexable).

    Am suppose to start PTTLS course tonight, but am thinking of posponing until DD2 is sorted out. I have to think about energy uses because of the CFS and battling the local ed takes alot out of you, not to mention all the extra emotional support she needs at the moment. As is it I feel totally washed out because of the past few days.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

    Diva - Just saw your post, thinking of you, no wonder you are numb after everything Tris has been through, sending hugs & prayers for you, Tris & Michelle. xx

    Lady-L - Hope you come back soon :D

    Jo - Good luck for today.

    I have a follow up scan for the cyst on my ovary on 29th but I don't think it has mysteriously disappeared like my doctor thinks it will :confused: as I am still getting regular pain from it!

    Jinky- were you a little delicate yesterday per chance?? :p
