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.0 -
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
