    Evening all, think I have caught up now!

    Sorry to hear the news about Sandy. LL can you pass on my love and thoughts to her please?

    MSD - will be thinking of you tomorrow, hope all goes well.

    Soappie, that dinner looked delicious, I think I am doing well when I manage to not burn the toast!

    Happy Birthday to Embb.

    Have been attacking my living room again today after my hall/understairs clearout. Its starting to look a bit more respectable but will be a few days yet before it is completely decluttered. Loving the hall though, keep going out there just to admire!

    Hope everyone is well xxxxx

    If anyone has a few thoughts, vibes or prayers spare for Sandy, it sounds as if she could do with them - she's in a lot of pain.

    I'm currently catching up on some of my overdue work. Fingers crossed I get the first draft completed tonight...

    Vacuum under furniture you can move safely Am I supposed to delete this or strike it. Im hardly going to attempt to move the couch in my condition, and DH did it on today with the "vacuum downstairs bit".
    Sort out ALL the paperwork strewn about.. put it all in a heap and work through it!

    Extras: Very funny this as it's stuff I was listing last night whilst reading sink reflections :)
    1. Sort out one drawer/cupboard
    2. Sort a pile of stuff you have beenignoring for an age!
    3. Tidy a bookcase


    I just responded to a freecycle ad for a futon. The lady has kindly said she'll hang on to it until Saturday so DH can hire a street van.
    Still not got hold of dad. Worried now as it's 11pm there and I just read the news and its not looking good at all.

    Waiting for DH to get out of the shower so that I can get in and then off to bed. Done the kitchen bit of my before bed routine. pretty chuffed with myself. Ive done my morning routine and my before bed for two days now...25 days to go:)

    :(

    Sorry not read the thread yet. Just got back from the hospital. DS3 fell this morning and has broken his arm (just above the elbow) really badly. He has had a two and a half hour op to wire it back together and now been transferred to stay the night at another hospital (ours doesn't have overnight paeds).

    He has been such a star through such pain. DH is staying the night with him and I'll go back over early in the morning.

    Hugs to all who need them x

    Evening campers, just a quickie before I head off to bed. Just wanted to say the following:

    *Happy Birthday* to Embb
    L-L can you send my love to Sandy when you text her next, tell her I am thinking of her
    Wow Soappie on your three bird piccies, they are amazing - you clever thing :)
    Positive vibes coming your way for the morning Diva xx
    Aww Dusty, your poor LO, hope he isn't too traumatised by the injury, and will be back to his chirpy self soon. Hugs coming your way to all of you xx

    Had a bit of a quiet day today while DH did the glossing of the downstairs doors. Inbetween painting and tending to me he did finally get them all finished, trouble is I think they need another coat on so that is the next job for him :) I didn't help as I was more of a hinderance as I kept crying at odd intervals during the day. I found a lump this morning, not a major event you might think with respect to what some are going through, but I had a lump a few years ago and I went through the tests etc for breast cancer.. Now I am petrified as they warned me it might come back, it's probably just a lump but I am going to make an emergency appointment tomorrow to see the Dr and hopefully I will get the nice one. I don't fancy seeing the not nice one as I don't want him poking about and I hate his bedside manner anyway.
