    Morning All

    I didn't get on the computer last night so I missed the visualisation. Greenbee - please pass on my love, hugs and prayers to Sandy again.

    DS went out to feed Gemma yesterday teatime and she had died so that was a big shock for him as the other 2 had died at the vets. So me and the kids just lay on my bed having a cuddle and watching a dvd last night which is why I didn't get on. DH has buried her in the garden and the kids want to go out and by a plant today to put there.

    Hugs Poohbear

    Froddy - I'm sure your house is wonderfully clean and tidy - unlike mine - but either way I'm coming to see you not your house - although Toots did say I had to bring my white gloves to do an inspection!:rotfl:

    Start of my hols today and DH is off until Tuesday as well. Not sure what the plan of action is but I do need to do some jobs. I suppose I ought to find a list!

    Hugs to all

    Jue thanks for the text last night, it was too late to reply by the time I got off the phone (can gab for England can I :rotfl:) was speaking to about 5 different people. Really sorry to hear Gemma has died and huge hugs for both kids, hope you manage to have some fun over the weekend to make up for the shock.

    Going to shut this down now and get ready so we can be with toots sometime this afternoon :D

    Have a great Easter everyone, see you all next week. (Unless I pop on at toots house)
