Hiya, I've only skimmed but wanted to say Ruth you are in my thoughts and prayers. xx
Sexym - glad you've got the date! Not long left now.
Hugs and love to everyone else, I'm going to check if I need any stars.

Toots can I have 4 stars please? My auntie arrives in 30 minutes so don't think I'll get the cupboard sorted for my last star, but I'll give it a go.
Love to everyone, have a peaceful and happy weekend

The sun has just comne out - bit late for me to start gardening now! It's been raining and hailing on and off all day.
I've had a lazy day, but have done the above. Cup of tea now I think, and then I fancy getting out some knitting. I have a three quarters finished jacket....It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
Have set the kids on there rooms and I have been chipping away at some of the other bits. Hoping for a couple more stars.
Had a stew in the sc all day and it smells lovely. Forgot to put some bread on though:mad:Sealed Pot Challenge Member NO. 853 :j0 -
Afternoon all.
Oh dear, I'm really late picking up today's list. Been asleep all morning *hangs head in shame*
Sandy don't give up, mate. I need you to inspire me to continue.:o One task at a time, and remember about how to eat an elephant.;)
You shouldn't be ashamed for sleeping. Your body must have needed it.
I am trying to stick with it and not get too hung up on doing it all. You keep inspiring me to continue as well:D
The elephant thing made me laugh, I have never heard that before:rotfl:Sealed Pot Challenge Member NO. 853 :j0 -
Ruth, sweetie so sorry to hear your sad news. You must be going through all sorts of emotions right now. I'm glad you got to spend time with your Mum last week. Be kind to yourself in the days and weeks ahead and especially on Sunday. I lost Nan a few days before Mothering Sunday last year and it was hard. I brought a hydragea 'for her' and kept it in the living room whilst it was in flower. We called it Edith after her and I often sat next to it and chatted to it in those first couple of weeks - it made me smile a little. Have a hug sweetie and you will remain in my thoughts xx
Vanilla - good news on the CSA. Sorry to hear the BD is around. You have an awful lot of your plate. I wish I was close by to give you a hand.
Don't be too surprised but I've done some flying and the living room is now all neat and clean and tidy - kids have been told they can't go in there this afternoon:p
Rest of the house is a nightmare but the builder will finish the upstairs work today so the whole weekend will be spent getting upstairs back to some sort of cleanliness and order (there is a whole lot of damp dusting and painting to do first though).The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
