    I've spent the whole evening ironing to keep my mind off tomorrow.

    Thanks for the hugs and support. I'm very grateful, it has really helped me this difficult week.

    I won't have time to post before I go tomorrow unless I tap out a message on my phone so I'll bid you all goodnight.

    Mumto5 I hope you are feeling a bit better now - make sure you are drinking plenty - can you take sugar in tea? dont force yourself to eat meals - maybe just have something like fruit or crisps even lying on the worksurface that you can maybe nibble at as you pass by - even a bar of medicinal chocolate!!!! We will be thinking of you tomorrow and trying to support you from afar - we will not be trying to crowd into the church - some of them will only fall asleep! Chin up angel , think of all the lovely times you had with her and how you and your brother will celebrate her life properly - if TF is going to be a problem then steer clear. (((hugs))) and do what you want about the flowers - I am quite sure Nan wouldnt want money wasted on them either -and as for the shoes? be comfortable - it doesnt matter what you wear just that you are there.

    cosmomo :bdaycake:Happy Birthday - hope you have ahd a lovely day:bdaycake:
    Molly41 I did not bad mouth a MW - I dont think I know any - i have never had children or have many other flyladies on here. I am sorry pigppen's post upset you but it was not aimed at you personally . I quite agree that the MW comments are nothing to do with flying but if you have been following flylady for a while you will see that lots of posts dont always have anything to do with flying (and you will have seen me telling them off) but most of the time we try hard to keep on topic - but we are human and go off topic from time to time when something winds us up/upsets us and if a rant/sob on here followed but the support of our cyber friends helps us get over the problem and get back to flying then thats what we do. we offer support along with our daily routines because we all know that if you feel down or angry or frustrated or heartbroken or whatever negative feeling you have then the first thing to suffer is the house and often the support and encouragement after posting is just enough to pull you through and get you back on track.
    I hope you will see in time that we most of us have a rant or moan about somebody on a professional basis but in my humble opinion we are not criticising the whole of that profession.
    holly hope the rash is as you say an allergic one and is gone in the morning
    Triker awh huge squishy (((hugs))) for your loss honey - glad you have some new little chooks to care for xx
    is LadyL ok - has someone been speaking to her on FB?

    I had a busy morning with doing the shopping and bits and pieces- then the Dn was in and we sorted out dressingetc for my tube site (still leaking badly!) - then I took Rev Ann up to see Cornhill - we got a tour round the inbed unit and she saw where I go on a tues and net some of the staff - she was just about speechless at how lovely it is - then she dropped me at boots so i could pick up dressings - then it was home for a quick tea before i went to the Discussion group at the Church - i had not been before but found it very interesting. So I eventually got home about 7.30 had to catch up on phone calls and then on here.

    flying? done the dailies and an extra 1 x WM but thats it I'm afraid.

    wont be around until late afternoon tomorrow as I have hospital clinic and then meeting my friend C and we are taking an old elderly friend out to lunch.


    thanks for all your wishes re my tube site - I will let you know whehn the results come through.

    I am signing off as i have to get ready for hosp - have to get up at 7.30:eek: stop laughing!!!!

    night night all

    love and hugs to everyone
    special love and hugs to LadyL

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

    Hi Shaz, nice to see you over here & welcome to all other newbies.

    Well i'm in again, better late than never, for the last 2/3 weeks I have been helping my friend pack to move back to the UK, I did lots of 'flying' at her apartment but was too exhausted when I got home to do any flying here, so I now need to knuckle down & get sorted. All towels, bathmats etc washed & put away, most rooms tidyish, just need a good clean.

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots & Soappie for all their work.

    Hugs to all in need & birthday wishes to anyone celebrating (sorry haven't had time to read through the thread, quite impressed with myself went 4 whole days without switching computer on, surprising what got done) :eek:

    Mumto5 - I will be thinking of you tomorrow xx
