    Morning all

    Finally caught up with you all, thanks for the positive vibes on Thursday. The inspection went well and things were a lot calmer BUT on Friday arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh let's just put it this way I was not far off posting this from a custody cell :eek: :eek:

    Anyway.......... it's the weekend :D and having just read lots of pages I have forgotten what to say to whom so will dispense hugs all round. Had hope to see a post from sandy, have been thinking of you.

    Who was talking about karma? I am another believer in that and there are one or two people who at some point are gonna get a whole lot of bad karma in the future, just hope I am there to witness it.

    We can't come to the meet on 9th as I will be working (am off the 2nd week of the hols) would have been great to meet others but it's not meant to be for us this time.

    Better get ready as we leave for swimming lessons in 20 mins and I am off out to a 40th b'day party tonight :)

    Some of us were talking about a second get together in York in the following week. Would that be better for you?

    Starting HHC very late.

    So very, very sorry to hear such sad, unfair news Cyclingyorkie...hope you're ok hun, sending you a big hug of comfort. xx

    Not sure what to do today, got loads but bit fed up with only me doing stuff and when certain other people do a teeny tiny bit they refuse/become resistant to do anything else...like that's their bit done.. :mad:

    Had a bad, unsettled nights sleep last night, not restful at all really. I'll declutter a coffee and decide what to do.

    How awful, hugs darling.

    23 duck-egg blue cupcakes made. I couldn't bring myself to attempt navy as when I started mixing the colour it made me feel ill. I'm sure they would have looked great, but the effort was too much, and as Pen Pen has said before, food isn't meant to be blue!
    lol made sky blue pancakes as a student, which no-one wanted to eat, and Mum once made an airforce-blue iced cake which made everyone queasy:eek:
