    Hi all
    I am still here!! Not done a thing flying-wise today (or yesterday for that matter....). I've been busy with visiting and being visited. Mum came over today...she's not doing too well as she's been referred to the oncology dept at the hospital (has appointment on Monday). They need to do a biopsy as she's been bleeding and an ultrasound turned up something that 'wasn't quite right'. So, as you can imagine, she's quite frightened about what they might find (and I am too, truth be told, but I'm trying not to worry until there's something to worry about).

    Apart from that I have no excuse for not doing anything today...or yesterday...but I'm planning a bit of a catch up tomorrow - including a good scrub down of the bathroom tiles with bleach as the grout is going mouldy.

    So, here's some hugs for people who need them....
    Take care
    D

    Happy Birthday Natty - sorry it's a bit late!

    The soup and bread was lovely; the bread was still warm and very yummy! I've washed up already and wiped the surfaces down. Got a bit of typing to do for someone tonight and am then going to sew up DS's jumper which I've been meaning to do for ages. Also want to look in freezer to see what I have lurking in there; we're going to Bude for a while at the end of next week and I don't want to do a big shop if we have things we can eat at home already. I HATE shopping!!!!

    Hope DS is OK as had 3 nasty nappies today; don't want him to have caught any nasty bugs as there's lots around. He's OK in himself but does have a nasty cough (same as me). DD's fine thankfully.
