    Didn't really get much flying done - but at least I got more done than yesterday. Our bedroom is always the last to get done and is a dumping ground for stuff that needs sorting and all the hot spot piles end up in there!!

    Hope everyone is well, and hugs to everyone who needs them. Sorry I can't keep up with the post. I don't know how you all do it and do the flying. What's the secret?

    Anyways - I'll try to catch up with some bits as I'm nosey! And I'll check in tomorrow morning.

    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
    Can never keep up with the thread - otherwise I'll never get anything done! But hugs to All :grouphug:

    Thanks for all the good wishes ladies. Just back from the hospital. They are keeping her another night as she still needs oxygen. I'm so tired as i only got about 2 hours sleep last night, so i'm being very non OS and have ordered a pizza.

    Hugs Lady L for tomorrow.
