    Pigpen I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncle. Wolfy (((HUG))) for you - and don't argue!
    Many thanks for doing the list for the rest of the week - as Mel said, above and beyond.

    Mumto5 (((HUG))) for you too - you sound like you could use one.

    Oooh, now there's a thought. Maybe one night, just for a short while, we ought to visit The Arms and clean them up a bit :rotfl:
    Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. There are some places I won't set foot.:D

    As soon as Mr LW's finishes his Wii exercises, we're off down the Greyhound to collect our giant easter egg.:p

    Sorry for your loss Pigpen (snitch :) I really should look at who's posting first!!!)

    Shame I missed the little venture, maybe we can go to the travel thread next time????

    I did it last time.. :p.. I read pages from bottom to top so 'thanked' before reading the post.
    Piggers hope your Mum is ok, was it one of her other brothers who passed last year?

    No that was my stepdads brother.. so when he tried whinging at me earlier I told him to remember how he felt and regardless of how he felt towards my uncle my mother loved him as much as he loved his brother and a bit of empathy wouldn't go amiss.. sledgehammer style tact..

    Get your pinny on and start baking Fanny Craddock, if your pinny won't fit round your belly I've got a huge throw you can wrap round yourself.:D

    Go for it Nigella Pigpen.

    I've put my shopping away and am now contemplating shoving a wash on whilst I jarmer up.

    I've realised albums, magazines and books and bags and clothes...and paper are what clutter this house up un-neccessarily. BOING LIGHTBULB MOMENT.
