Yikes to what happened to your sister. Very glad to hear that she'll recover, albeit slowly. Have you had lots of extra cuddle time with your nephew?

Sorry to hear about your sister, greent. Yes, in comparison to not surviving, losing the summer is bearable, but still ... thats got to be scary

Goodness, thats big stuff re your sister, hope she recovers well.

You sound busy, hope you enjoy 'Yesterday', sounds like fun, I saw Danny Boyle and co on Grahame Norton talking about it.

Many years ago I worked in an FE Centre for disabled students when I first left home. They used an amanuensis for exams, she fascinated me. She was in her 70s and used to smoke cigarillos and take surreptitious swigs from a hip flask :rotfl:

So sorry to hear news about your sister. All best wishes for her speedy recovery. That's the second person I've heard about this weekend. It really makes you value every moment doesn't it. I hope you are ok after the shock of it all.

I loved this story Teapot2. I wish I had read about the hip flask before I did my invigilating. The time would have passed much quicker :rotfl: (Must learn how to do proper quotes)

Also, fab figures GreenT, the Florida fund is looking healthy :T We have had two great holidays in Florida in the past, but it is certainly pricey when you have 4 children :eek:

Crazy end-of term busy-ness here - lots happening with DS2 & DS3. DD's graduation ceremony next week :T Getting some things sorted at home. Burst tyre one evening last week = unexpected expense of 2 new tyres Florida fund healthy at over £9k.
