    Morning all

    DH decluttered to work and DS1 is off to school in a moment for Y11 revision (if he ever makes it out of the house). I'm planning on a few hours in the LR this morning, then a trip into town this pm with DS2. He is due for a haircut and his shoes need checking. I also want to look in Wilkinson's for a few things garden related. Best get going, then.
    Hope all the poorlies are on the mend and that everyone's plans work out.

    Looks as though even I may acheive all of todays by default. Living room has been recently decorated and a new carpet laid. Not much furniture in there to move as were waiting for a call about delivery of new suite.
    Have a good day everyone.

    I'm glad you're managing to get her to discuss things. I hope it isn't too much of a strain for you. It is obviously helping her to talk to someone who understands what she is going through.

    LadyL please don't tire yourself out too much. I know you want to help Sandy, as we all do, but don't neglect yourself. It will be taking a lot out of you. HUGS!

    Thanks both of you :A yes, I do get very tired but I have explained that to her & said if it's too much I will back off, in the meantime if I can help her a little bit I will try :D

    Just heard from Diva she has had the pre-op assesments & is waiting for the op now....I have passed on all your vibes & she says thank you....she is incredibly nervous so they are helping :A

    Flying...... washing now in TD :p
