    Morning lovely flyladies,

    Sandy - Thinking of you today and hoping it all goes as well as it can.
    Rosepink -hugs.gif
    Jassa - Awww that is so sad for you and your daughter.
    LadyL - smooch.gif Love you honey.
    Toots - love.gif
    Jinkypinks - kiss.gif
    Boddy - hugs.gif
    lemanie - I speak to LadyL at least once a day one way or another so can always pass messages on. And I know others are on Facespace or Mybook or whatever it is called ( giggle.gif ), with her, so she is never out of reach.
    Lav - I just moved mine into 3 inch pots but only put one in each. I will move them on again in few weeks when they are bigger. Actually they weren't 3 inch pots, they were empty coffee cups from my OHs work canteen vending machine. I recycle a pile of them every year for seedlings and just poke holes in the bottom. But they are approx 3 inch.
    choccybix - I hope yesterday went as well as these things can.
    macpep - thank you for the reassuring words about Tris. For the last two nights in his head it was six years ago. Last night we had to go through a huge trauma he went through and it was horrible going through it again with him and I got all upset like I did all those years ago. I just hope tomorrow he is in a happier memory again. But your words give me hope and I have passed them on to his sister too.
    ajmoney - good vibes going out for your friend
    Hope everyone has a great day.
    With love, light and hugs

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.
  • So my lists today are:
    Feed the cat at least twice catmilk.gif
    Brush the cat
    Sort and delete 20 emails
    reply to emails
    feed tadpoles
    Clean bathroom sink

    Extras
    Get very excited cos my new camera arrives today
    Post on Suttons blog - forums done, but not blog
    Ring Social worker to discuss letter
    Order flowers for mum?
    Easter gifts for the kids - find inspiration
    Pot on seedlings.
    Pot up Cherry Tree
    Ok now it's set up, actually write in FrogCity?
    head%20cold.gifHope anyone feeling poorly feels better today.

    Morning All

    Thinking of you Sandy - I'll be there with you as well.

    Hollyh - hope you're feeling better soon.

    I've only caught up on a couple of pages of the thread so hugs to everyone else.

    Manic week as anticipated and AF arrived as well just to make it easier for me! My car's going in for its MOT this morning so I need to go and empty it in a minute. I've done nothing all week although I have kept up with my ironing. Mum and Dad's for tea tonight so it will probably be tomorrow before I catch up with you all properly although I may get on later.

    Hugs to all

    Can I ask for some good vibes for a friend please? She has been having some problems with her horse and she needs to make a very tough decision with the vet tomorrow.

    Lots of 'positive outcome' vibes are on their way. You are a very good friend, looking after her like this.

    I've been up since six and had a cuppa. So far so good, as there were no immediate complaints from my stomach. I'll try food now (porridge) and if things stay quiet, I'll be off to work. I still feel rubbish and have very little energy, but can't really afford more days off.
    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Just confirming my seat on the bus for later this morning please - I'm looking quite respectable now as picked the worst of the chicken feathers out of my hair (still a few there but those darn things are hard to get out!), brushed the dog hair off and put DS in his best Buzz Lightyear outfit! Sandy, I said a prayer for you and will do again at 11.30. We're all right with you (((((Sandy))))).

    ajmoney, thinking of your friend. I used to have a horse and we had to make a difficult decision with him too - so hard as he was like my best friend and I still miss him even though it was 17 years ago now. She's very lucky to have a friend like you.

    My room today is the kids bedroom and I also need to do the bathroom which I didn't get done yesterday :o. Got to fly now as need to get kids going but didn't want to not come on here first thing.

    Love to all xx

    Good morning :beer:

    Sandy - we're all here being strong for you. I've booked my ticket for the virtual-bus tour. I'm the one with a slight whiff of the garden, and mud under my nails. I'll bring you a big bunch of daffs from the garden. Have these in the meantime

    Or join us [STRIKE]if [/STRIKE] when we manage to get together in the near future. Valli (or anyone else in this area) - what would be the best way to get an Easter meeting off the ground? I'd love to arrange it, but can't spend enough time on here at the moment.

    How about we meet in Sheffield (John Lewis tea shop, or Meadow [STRIKE]hell [/STRIKE]hall). Week after Easter suits me. Friday 9 April anyone?

    If there are enough Flyladies for a York meet, we could do that the week after :j

    Send me a PM, though my box needs emptying, so if you find it's full, try again after 9:00, when I'll have had time to declutter it :D

    Could I just ask that you are all clean this time. After my scan there was orange paint and dog hair everywhere. :rotfl:

    Soappie's mum did the trick then - no whiff of BO left behind :p

    Posi-Horse vivbes for ajmoney and your friend :A

    DD had a nosebleed last night. Poor love, she did try to clear up, but I need to take a micro-cloth the the floorboards, and check for laundry that'll need a pre-soak :o

    Off to find a list ............
