    Evening everyone

    I am sorry to have missed the visualisation for sandy - I hope she found some comfort from it as i have in the past. It is so worrying for her and her family - I am sure she must be extremely frightened and confused - i hope she is resting well tonight in the warmth and after glow of your combined love and healing vibes. I will say a prayer and light a candle for her tomorrow at church. greenbee if you are in touch please send her my love and I will be thinking of her getting her chemo.

    pooh honey, I am so sorry to see you have lost the young kitty - so very sad but she is at peace and free from pain - massive hugs for you xx

    havent had a chance to do catch ups yet - will try at some point tomorrow - busy day with them VIP's arriving and my mother and other things too.

    take care all

    Special love and hugs to LadyL.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Greenbee - get a cat, they are better than men, loyal, cute and also have the added benefit of loving unconditionally. plus they satisfy the biological ticking as well, not so good in other areas, but hey you cant have everything :p

    Is this where I type what everyone else has been thinking?!?!? Get a rabbit as well :p

    OK I'll get my coat!

    Evening all, ( or is it morning ? )

    Sandy i hope the visualisation has helped. I imagined little balls of light attacking the tumour. Then i thought of all the flyladies in a big circle with like a warm glow passing everyone by and kind of washing over you.

    Big hugs pooh i'm sorry about your cat.

    Toots i hope you AnW's Mum, Master W & Miss A have a great time together.

    SM glad you have had your last day at school but think the head is being pathetic by banning you from coming back. They can't stop you keeping in contact with your friends, great news about the agency :)

    Going to bed NOW! Will post before we leave in the morning.

    Love and Hugs to all x
