Afternoon all
Hope hospital goes well for you Toots.
One load of washing dried on the line, although we had a few spots of rain this afternoon. Lucky I'd already got it in and put it away.
Went out searching for birthday cards and came back with nothing.
Roast dinner roasted, eaten and cleared away.
Hope everyone's OK.0 -
Happy Mothering Sunday to all of the lovely mums on here, hope you all have nice relaxing days.
Just wanted to pop on to say Toots we'll all be thinking of you next week, I hope it goes as well as it can, and you'll be back here checking up on us before you know it!
Done some bits of flying today, filed all my uni sheets, and done a load of homework.
Love to everyone, see you on next week's thread

Toots all the very best for your sojourn in the hossy.
Most exciting news today is that Mr LW "volunteered" (oh, all right, was coerced;)) to help me with a long overdue sort out of the trunk I keep my supply of candles in.
We've hauled out some candle-making stuff I'd forgotten about, so hopefully it'll be full steam ahead with candle making - if I can locate a few extra "spoons".:o
He wants feeding now, so off to assemble veggie Toad-in-the-Hole.

I hope you dont mind but i will be joining you this week on the new thread. My lady that helps me is off this week so have to try and keep on top of things which is easier said than done as Im very wobbly and fall over a lot!
I know a few of you such as Lamewolf so please be gentle with me xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
Since downloading the latest Firefox Im unable to copy and paste. If anyone has any ideas why I would be grateful.

Welcome molly x
rach if he has to get rid of the weights, he will have to get rid of some dreams/delusions as well! Thats the hard bit...Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
I've had a lovely day - morning on the allotment, and a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon! You were right dusty - we seem to be getting spring at last!
Love and hugs to everyone who is thinking of their mums today.:lovethoug(may not be quite the right smiley, but you know what I mean!)
I've been spoiled - a set of cookery books from DS1, a book and tiny bag of chocolates from DD (she knows I love them, but am trying to lose weight!), and a promise from DS2, who has tried really hard to locate the yellow orchid I saw months ago, but couldn't for today - so I've got more to look forward to!
I'm really hoping that the weather holds - I'm full of energy and want to get on with it now!
Love to toots, and will be missing you this week.It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0
