    DKAM - agree about the focus. We used to have a V reg purple one (DH swears it was blue though) and it was great. Sturdy and reliable.

    Getting ready for Caitlyns first session at the childminders this afternoon. I feel nervous! When I leave I think I'm going to go to a garden centre or something - I don;t like the idea of coming back to an empty house, even though there's loads I could be doing!

    Hi girls, I've just had some bad news and I can't quite get my head around it :(
    My old manager died last night, he was only 28. Don't know the details but it was illness not accident.

    He was my manager for 2 yrs until last Feb when he moved stores.

    I only saw him a few weeks ago at the Bathgate store

    He has a wife and son :(

    :grouphug: I think it's always a bigger shock when someone young dies.

    Thanks girls, my dad died at 36.

    I've been told he was off work for a fortnight with some kind of chest complaint, then he died last night. Just seems such a waste.
    He was a good guy, handworking and provided for his family

    thinking of you and also his family
