I have had help as still feeling fragile

Found out today my youngest brother has a tumour on his spine...he is to have an operation on Thursday...he has been in a lot of pain for almost a year...doctors thought it was Arthritis...he had an MRI scan on Tuesday but they dont know what treatment he will need till they go in ......

Was sunny here earlier but is now showery...Typical I have washing to dry,seeds to plant and a NEW water butt to put in place...DS1 shot holes in my old one :mad::mad::mad:

Happy Birthday GnB

Love to all xx

Hi :j
We're home at last! No Flying this week because there was no flying (back home!) - I am not complaining as we had a fab extra week!

Congrats to Pigpen (saw it on other thread some time ago) and to those with wedding plans (sexym and julie?). Happy Birthdays to those I missed. Hugs to those who are not so well or feeling sad. Welcome to newbies (there seems to be loads).

Off to declutter a cuppa and unpack

hi folks,

Well I didn't achieve any stars in our final push for them but I have had a lovely week in the garden and the house isn't too bad. I am in a bit of a flare up at present so will see how I get on next week. Probably back to slow and steady

Same here but without the excuse of the flare up

Huge hugs for Mummyof5, and also for Penelope Penguin, Pink Winged and Zippychick having ventured elsewhere on the board

Ok...haven't posted all week but been very busy with work and family!

Having signed up to take the challenge I didn't follow the plan exactly but have managed some of the jobs and feel that if I keep following the thread then the housework will soon be less hassle.

What I have managed to do fron the lists I have striked out....have picked through bits in a rather haphazard way but have decluttered several areas and looking forward to the next week of challenges. Will take some organising to get it so I can FLY!

Afternoon all!

Happy Birthday to GnB - glad you've had a lovely day so far!

I officially booked Moon's and my wedding yesterday (we're going to get married at the Sandals Negril in Jamaica on either the 8th or 9th April next year)!:j Unfortunately Moon's mother has said she won't be coming as she doesn't want to go out there on her own (her OH is scared to fly, even though he's never done it before, so won't go), so Moon is a bit upset about that. I broke it to my parents on Friday night and it didn't go particularly well. My Mum is worried about my Nan, as her health is poor, and at the moment we are trying to get her assessed for home help or being in a residential home, as she isn't really safe to leave living alone now, and the stress is putting a lot of strain on my Mum and Dad (she was given one of those alarm pendants the other day, but decided to turn off the transmitter bit so my Mum and Dad were called in the middle of the night to go round to her - 20 mins drive away). Both my parents are worried about the cost too even though we've said we'll contribute.
My sister has said she'll talk to her boyfriend and let me know, but I haven't heard back from her either. It's put a bit of a downer on it all.

Haven't done any flying this week (apart from meal planning and food shopping) as I had a full 5 days of supply, which is good, as I need the money now. I also caught up with a couple of old friends, and today Moon and I went out to lunch together which was nice.

Well suppose I'd better go and get some washing done so that I have some clothes to wear next week.
