    Morning All

    Sandy - huge hugs - if you want to talk pm me - keep posting and we'll give you as much support as we can.

    I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep so I thought I may as well get up after lying in bed for a couple of hours awake.

    Not sure what the plan of action for today is yet but DH is going to work around lunchtime.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    semi -skimmed - what a kind first post, welcome to the forum
    juliejim, snap! Pesty insomnia meant I didnt go to sleep until silly o clock then I was woken up at 5am. DS2 is up and keeping me company now :A
    fedup - enjoy your walk. I wish I was coming too.
    Valli - that garden looks lovely

    I still like the idea of a BBC Gardeners World Live Birmingham NEC meet.

    It looks like it is going to be a bright, clear day. Hopefully we will be able to break the boys new walking boots in with a short circuit of Thornton reservoir, and then I can get on with the garden. The forecast for the rest of the week is a bit :eek:.

    Thursday ~ Study or other reception room & bathrooms
    All Done Star Please Toots :D:D

    Friday ~ Childrens rooms and spare rooms
    Level One
    Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can see
    Level Two
    Clear away anything that isn't in it's place, clothes, toys, books etc
    Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade!!
    Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
    Level Three

    Tuesday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing

    Level 3
    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing

    Sandy - so sorry to hear your news. Huge hugs and positive strength vibes for you.
    As the others have said, keep posting whenever you need to.
    Sadly there are several flyladies on the 'special dispensation' list for non-flying posts.
    But that does mean that there is understanding support here.

    sandy its good to see you posting - we have all been watching and waiting for your news - i am so sorry to see that there is a tumour there - now is the time to tell the family - even your Mum - you need extra support just now - you must give in and ask for their support no matter how annoying family can be -you get them rallied round - even if its just helping in the house - like you said Dh still has raw memories from last year and he will have been praying that it just wasnt happening to you. But he will be there for you but like all men he doesnt read minds so you will have to ask for his help.
    You have to stop trying to be strong on your own - it takes tooo much effort and you need all your strength to fight this thing.

    we will all be hoping and praying that its the lesser of the 2 evils and that the neuro andhis team will sort you out. Its going to be a long and difficult path at times but we will all be here to encourage you along the way - ONE STEP AT A TIME!!!! dont look too far ahead until you know what you are dealing with and what procedures are going to be used - there will be options along the way - for now as the others have said 'REST' and try to be calm for the MRI on monday - take each day as it comes angel.
    toots xx
    As ever Toots put it so much better than I ever could:A

    we are all here for you, anytime honey:kisses3::lovethoug

    Hi all. I also woke up a bit too early, but I'll make the most of a quiet flat! Haven't yet decided whether to go to church today: probably just need another day at home

    sandy -
    so sorry to hear your news but at least you now have an idea what you're dealing with. Like the others I agree you must tell your family and let them support you - they would be heartbroken I am sure to think you felt you couldn't tell them.

    Plan for today is to finish the flying, including the bedroom - bed needs changing.

    I have also seen a really good pushchair (mountain buggy) on netmums at a great price, my mum and DH both want me to get a brand new one but it seems in great condition (seen pics) and my feeling is to get a better one 2nd hand :) BUT will take a bit of persuading dh to let me go and look at it. any advice ladies?

    Morning all,

    Masive hugs for Sandy.

    I think instead of running about and exhausting myself in my quest for 5 stars i'm just going to change the bedding today. I can start again from scratch tomorrow. I'm hoping the sun stays so we can get out in the garden.

    Most of my stuff for both babies was 2nd hand (10 years apart, so I didn't keep anything) and it worked out fine. I did buy a travel system for DS2 which was new, but the display model from the store, so I got it cheaper. It was definitely worth it, but the most important thing is to have a buggy/pram which will allow LO to lie completely flat. Happy bargain hunting. :D
