    Pooh and Julie - hugs
    Sexymouse - WTG for that post - lovely to read
    Pigpen - massaging vibes for your bad back
    Toots - hope you have a lovely weekend with your visitors and confirmation

    CBA is visiting big time here - just about to declutter DD to her Dad, DH is off to work and DS is going swimming with Nan so a couple of hours peace - will do the list for our bedroom then if I can be bothered!!

    Just remembered that car is not taxed and not MOT'd so panick call to garage to fit me in tomorrow for MOT and then if it passes off to PO to get tax - so thats the morning sorted - and can't use the car till then - I hate it when I know I can't use the car, I feel panicky incase I need it for some emergency that may crop up - never has and I suppose it never will!!

    Rambling on here is now done - see you all later

    Morning everyone.

    Its cold here but lovely and sunny. Ive bunged the throws off the sofa in the washer. Been out and bought GGD1 and GGD2 their Easter outfits. Dailies have been done and will tackle bathroom later as I need to go to DDs.

    DD received a letter from her Dad the other day. She doesnt have much contact. He lives in Milton Kynes and needed her to get in touch. Her step mother has cancer and its quite advanced. DD never really got on with her but surprised herself how upset she was. Turns out they have no contact with DDs step brother and he didnt know where to look. DD got on Facebook and found him. Well done her. I just hope he sees his mum. DD spoke to stepmum and it sounds like there is lots of regret there and wishing they had been closer.

    Im so pleased the butterflys meant something to sandy they were beautiful.

    Toots,AnWsMum, Miss A and Master W Have a lovely weekend I will be thinking of you all.
    pooh and julie Sorry to hear about your pets its really hard I know. Lots of hugs.
    sexymouse. What a horrible head. She is just jealous because you were popular and very good at your job. It sounds like the children and parents thought well of you. Good luck for your next job. Im sure you be much appreciated.
    greenbee Please send love and hugs to sandy for me. Hugs.

    Hugs for everyone specially for Toots, Lady L Diva and sandy.
