    Ames my DS1 and DS2 at Leeds Met and just seen you are in Leeds.
    Sorry not been on today but have been visiting friends. Working tomorrow, but will catch up with you later in the day.
    Sally thinking of you and all you other mums tomorrow hope you have a great day:).

    I live close to the universities. What are they studying?

    Well my plan for today is to go drink more vile coffee, pick up some furniture from Argos, then sister's coming round to put it together for me and sort the place out a bit.

    Think I'll go back to bed for a bit first though cos I stayed up reading till 3am and haven't really slept well since.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I'm off for a run on the beach....I can even see blue sky.

    I will have to try and negotiate Mr T's later without tripping over floods and floods of flowers.

    Can I ask you all to also have a quick think about those people out there who don't have a mother anymore. I really find this day about the hardest of the whole year.

    I can't imagine how that day will feel. Thinking of you and others in that situation.
