    Morning lovely flyladies, wave.gif
    Firstly apologies - I haven't really read the thread, I have skimmed some of it and have been overwhelmed by the kindness and love and support that was there for me while I was in hospital. You are a lovely group of people and I do appreciate your thoughts.
    Secondly - thankyou.gif thankyou.gif thankyou.gif for those very same messages both read on here and relayed to me by LadyL (who is an angel) via text messages. I wasn't really up for phone calls til Saturday though I know she would have rung me if I had been, but it was lovely to read the texts and feel all the vibes you were sending. I was and am touched.
    I may not be up to posting every day for a while, but as I am awake now I wanted to bring back the purple just for one day at least!! I do feel much better for being home and will be back to normal very soon. Just trying to recover from lack of sleep, a bit of blood loss and too much projectile vomiting (You have to laugh!!:rotfl::rotfl:).
    Lots of love to everyone, hope you all have a good day. With love, light and hugs.gif

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.

    I need to pop into work later for an hour or so but apart from that I've got nothing planned so should be doing some flying.

    Good to see you back Diva!

    Hugs mumto5

    I'm going to do a HHC at 7 to see how far I can get.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Lovely to see you back Diva.

    I may have to venture onto the techie board anyway.
    Had an idea overnight. The one thing that had changed was installing Skype.
    Just removed it (hope that counts as flying) and so far things seem to be back to the way they used to be.
    But lots of people use Skype and I would like to keep it :mad:
