Hi de hi campers!

Thanks to the lovely Jinky for passing my message on last night, sorry I haven’t been around these last 3 weeks. But Jinky has bullied me into coming on and letting you know I’m ok. Many thanks to Toots for her message last night.

Oooh and whilst I think Jinky on your dog dilemma – do you have such things as doggy day care up there? We do, so that may be option. My others last night were carp as usual!

Don’t know what’s going on apart from LL having her scan re-arranged hopefully to today (via FB) – so mega positive vibes for you lovely x

Have stayed on top of the housework, though haven't done any thorough cleans and even the ironing, so not doing too badly in that respect.

I am worrying myself sick about DS, they’ve only been there 3 weeks today and one of them has been badly injured from a landmine, amputated arm and ghastly damaged legs etc, DS tried to cheer me up by saying ‘from the time it happened to him being on the operating table was 26 minutes as they respond so fast’. Not sure I take much comfort from that! Doing really well though in sounding cheery on the phone, so at least I’m not blubbing to him, which would make him feel bad. Then the armoured truck they were in the other day went over a landmine and were stranded in the midday heat under threat of gunfire for 2 hours before they were rescued, he ended up with heat stroke as though it isn’t summer it gets to about 45 degrees already. Luckily no of them was hurt, but it has obviously shook them up never mind us at home. I am fortunate that he can go on FB and keep in touch that day as well as phoning home or my work, so I know I am more lucky than some mum’s.

DD2 has only 7 weeks to go, can’t wait; a bundle of joy to cuddle and love.

Sorry for being a misery guts, will try my best to keep up with the thread. Will read back in and amongst work over the next couple of days. So love and hugs all round, coping/healing vibes to all those that want/need them xx

Good to hear from you and sending stay safe vibes for your DS.

I cannot believe DD2 has only 7 weeks to go, my goodness, doesn't time fly when your flying

Have got a load in the machine and now I need to go to work so will find a list and start on jobs when I get back xx
