    Thanks Claire.

    It sounds like a good way of using up food. As I need to stick to low GI food for OH's health that would not work for us, but it is a good thought. I will work out how to be healthy and frugal. :D

    Thanks for thinking of me Snaggs :A - I am lurking as usual. My sister in law only has days left - horrible because every time the phone rings I think - 'Is this it ?' Of course I don't want her to die but she is suffering and it is inevitable so will be a release I think. Can't imagine what her husband and daughters are going through - they are with her all day every day at the hospice.

    I have a message from Cat, she cant seem to get on MSE as her internet is playing up but she wants to come to Bunnys party and is wondering if anyone wants to share a room or if there is any space with someone before she books a room for herself?
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    :grouphug: Hugs and loving toughts to you and your family Ellidee at this extremely difficult time. I remember the days before we lost my father in law, we knew the phone call would come and I remember jumping every time the phone rang with those feelings of dread.
