Morning All, thanks for the get well wishes, I'm feeling quite a bit better today and DS2 seems to be gradually improving, can't persuade him out of his pyjamas though

Ruth; so sorry for your loss
helenhelen, Dusty, Ishtar and 83rachel; hope you get/got your messes cleared up and are feeling a little better
Good outcome for Diva vibes winging their way
Pigpen; very naughty comments but extra funny -'iphone':rotfl:
Toots; hope you managed your bed ok and weren't too jiggered
Notso; know what you mean about the stars for reading thread and I don't do real hugs but am getting into the virtual ones quite enthusiastically
Sandy; don't guilt yourself into doing more than you should, be proud of whatever little you can manage, think Mr T advertising tag line
Sexym and Nutty; glad the end is in sight for you both
Kaz; maybe the young lads will appreciate their mums more when they get back?:D
Soappie; glad your talk went well and the old ladies enjoyed themselves
Vanilla; not sure what to say other than - hugs
All Tired Peeps; for whatever reason, wishing you good zzzzzzzzzz's

Am going to have another quick S&S through this morning as friend coming for coffee this pm. Have some work to do too but fortunately can push none urgent things to the back burner when need extra time for poorlies or just life so am very fortunate, which I am always aware of even when I moan (have secret yearning to be completely SAHM:o).

ETA - Mummyof5 get all homesick and nostalgic when you and Valli talk of Derbyshire things, am Staveley born and bred and all family and a particularly dear friend still live there. Never regret the move but do miss things sometimes.

love hugs and prayers to Ruth on your loss...and to Vanilla who is having a really hard time at the moment.

hope all who are feeling ill soon feel better......there are a lot of toxic bugs around at the moment...

Pigpen - re bravissimo - are they any good? Did you buy online/by post and did you get a guide as to how to measure yourself? I could do with some new scaffolding in the chest department;);)

Have decluttered Oh to his dads, DD2 to school and DS to college. Washing up done and put away, our bed stripped and duvet cover and sheets in washing machine. Sadly it's raining so I won't be drying the washing on the line.......:(

Off to sort out the pit..........sorry master bedroom:mad: - the next half hour will be 'what can I get rid of before he comes back on Monday?' Why does he have to keep so much useless tat?;)
