    Hi flygang
    I am sat in hear in silence:( - its so strange after the last 4 days of having AnW'sMum and SWs - i miss them already xx I know they are home safe so i am sure they will post later.

    I can now understand all of you who have to fight for time on the pc - Miss A had fun (I think) getting the chance to be on while her Mum and me chatted. Master W was engrossed in Ivor the Engine and Indiana Jones most of the time!!!

    I had a fabulous weekend with them and didnt want them to go. the children are so well behaved and well mannered it was a joy to have them - they were so patient letting me do some of my things and at the Church. It made my weekend to have them here - i amstill grinning after yesterday - we finally got to bed about midnight!!! we have had pizza, fish and chips, KFC, Alice's lasagne, had a picnic yesterday, bacon rolls, fed the ducks, IKEA!!!!!!!, just so much fun and 'Mum' and I have already thought of places to go next time!!! there just wasnt enough time or room in my flat!! they were lovely and all slept on the floor in the sitting room!
    I just cant thank them enough for being here and being such lovely people.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:D:T:A:A:A:A

    And I managed to declutter 1 or 2 bits to their house to make room for what i bought at Ikea!!!!!:rotfl:

    I will start to catch up tonight after tea - in the meantime....

    Dusty I cant believe you have yet another broken bone - is that all 3 of them now - I hope DS is recovering a bit now - I will catch up on the news as i go along.

    Lady L bless you angel for talking to Sandy - please give her my love and I hope the chemo is not so horroble - please tell her to ASK for pain relief and antinausea and not to be brave - she musnt let herself suffer in silence. I have lit a candle for her.xxxx
    And in your angel mode again - how lovely you are - could you please pass on my love and best wishes to Diva - I am thinking of her and hope the op goes really well and she will be home and in touch with us again soon - healing vibes are winging their way and I have lit a candle for her too xxxx
    Special love and strength to you lovely lady. xxx

    back later
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Ok I can catch up now

    Toots glad you had a great day sounds fun
    Dusty big hugs for your DS.

    Spent my earlier HHC shouting at the sky engineer. He had tapped into my dish (this is the 4th time) so another call to sky but it did some good as the girl downstairs now has her own working sky dish and the engineer came and said sorry. Why can't they just solve the problem rather than looking for a quick fix.:mad::mad::mad:

    Thanks for all the good wishes.

    DS3 has been very tearful but doesn't seem in too much pain. Just getting him some dinner and hoping he has a relatively early night. I'll leave the cupboard door open in his room and then I'll hear him easy as it connects through to our room.

    Washing is the only flying I've achieved. Feel shattered now.

    Diva - thinking of you sweetie and hoping everything goes smoothly tomorrow
