    Morning All

    Diva - thinking of you

    Sandy - hope you've had a good night's sleep - hugs

    LL - hugs

    The kids have got friends coming over today but not until about 11 so I'm going to shoo the kids out of the LR in a bit and give it the once over.

    Need to go on the DVLA website now and chase up DH's driving licence.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    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...

    thoughts vibes and prayers winging their way across York to Sandy....
