    Morning All
    Big hugs and vibes to Mumof5, I hope today goes as well as it can.
    i am in total agreement re flowers..and all the trappings! Kids have been told to put me in a cardboard box when the time comes.....

    Is it very bad-taste of me to tell you Dad was going to be? He's in an eco-woodland cemetery, but we was too tall for their boxes :rotfl: (I think it's special cardboard, not just like an old box the freezer was delivered in :p)
    And I do agree to an extent about the flowers, we were very grateful for the ones we received, but asked for donations for Kids for Kids if people asked. As it was just family at the funeral I went to the woods on the morning and made a wreath.

    And I wore pink :o

    Anyway, back to flying. Done bits and bobs, put the washing up away, did some revision yesterday, bought some daffs, booked a train to visit a friend in Birmingham tomorrow and had a long chat with a friend from home, and took a bag of clothes to the charity shop.

    Love and hugs to everyone,
    xxxxx

    Morning lovely people of the world.

    Today I shall join in and actually fly - house is well, not as it should be. Just finishing my cuppa and then some hoovering with attitude - I've gained weight and I need to shift it!

    Towels are washed and on the line.

    Mumto5 thinking of you and hope the sun is shining

    Rose - not seen you post (but I'm skimming a bit) so hope you're ok

    Morning all
    Just updating list and sending hugs to those who need one...

    About midwives...I wanted to say that on the whole the ones I met throughout my three pregnancies were great. Except one. We lost our second baby and throughout the day had an exceptional midwife. On shift change we met someone with a very different approach...Brusque, judgemental and downright horrible...I don't want to go into too much detail, but there were forms we had to sign at the end, and she took great delight in explaining the terms they used and 'not to worry about them'...cheers then.

    Anyway, I agree that in any profession there are one or two who should take a long hard look at why they're doing it...but someone being rude to you in a supermarket doesn't have quite the same impact on your psyche as someone who is supposed to be supporting you.

    Enough of that....here's what I've been doing. If it's gone, it's done...

    [STRIKE]Scrub tiles[/STRIKE] while running a defrag Hmm...defrag doesn't work...PC too full of rubbish!!! Will get OH to look at it (he's the consultant, after all!!).
    Degrot the desk and dust and polish the monitor and pc case etc I am working on this, the pile is now only 4 inches high (was 2 ft a week or so ago). Once the desk is clear I'll polish...be nice to see the surface of it again.
    Level Three
    Extras

    I'm off to have a rest before heading off to the dentist (again). I will ask her to have a good old prod of all my teeth as I don't want to have to go to see her again tomorrow :o DS is still having his nap and DD has finally stopped looking like death and is complaining she's hungry...back to school for her tomorrow I think!

    Take care all
