    Morning all

    Was busy yesterday afternoon and evening and haven't had a chance to catch up - sorry.

    Good news though, my sis is home after an epic three day train journey across mainland Europe encompassing Croatia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany and France. Eurotunnel seems not to have been affected so in a stroke of genius, my nephew took the car over and drove them back from Dunkirk.

    I hope everyone else that's displaced gets home soon.

    Right, off to bathe

    Morning

    lil_me things are going well for you and the boys, sounds like they are making really good progress. Hope the GP sorts/refers you for treatment as appropriate today.

    diva hope you manage to get some rest today.

    zoe that is a LOT of people :eek: hope all the meetings are productive :) and good news on the op date.

    soappie the Dunkirk spirit is alive and well :D great idea of your nephew's.

    Well today should be the last day for the fascias, they are looking good so far. I hope they are finished by the time school is out as it's messy church this afternoon and I'm off out to the flicks with a friend tonight (no idea what we are going to see yet).

    W strutted his way to school in his new to him army camouflage coat yesterday shouting to all who would listen 'hey look at my new coat, it's a soldiers one' :D

    Have a good day all.

    HI All,

    Thank you so much for all the comments re: my further study /exams.

    It really does make a difference to be able to 'talk ' to you all.

    I will take the exams for this year but i am not sure re next year( Unfortunately, year 1 is a bit pointless without year 2).

    I was trying to deal with 'what ifs ' yesterday because that is what i do. I will stop and just deal with the next 21 days !

    Cheers,
    H xxx
