    hex - having read your posts on here and the GC thread I can't see how any bad karma can have you in its sights (((hugs))). Hope everything turns up right :A

    thanks - lots of bad karma from frozen chickens obviously :rotfl:! I make people redundant for a living, as fairly and sympathetically as I can but it still isn't nice for the innocent people it happens to hence the karma.

    On the positive side Tiger (my youngest cat) has re-appeared after two days missing which is a relief.

    I have deep cleaned the kitchen today and most of the Snug. I also S&S'd the ciritcal bits, changed two beds and polished lots of grubby small boy dvds, cried at the Lion King and endured Chitty Bang Bang three times in a row.

    if you've had to listen to chitty chitty bang bang 3 times in a row... then that's pay back for everything you've ever done. And I'm sure you do a better job of making people redundant than most people do, so if anything you should be generating good karma. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Hi All

    Tried to skim the thread for the first time in ages .... noticed this :
    And secondly, have any of you heard from Diva yet, we still haven't and I assume that means you haven't either, but thought I'd check as we're all beginning to worry, and SunnyGirl hasn't been online for a good while either, and I know they normally have contact with each other. I'll try and keep an eye out here in case you have/do, but if you hear anything, would one of you be kind enough to stick it on the Daily?

    Yes, I am in touch with Diva on a daily basis .... no need to worry, I'm sure she will be back when she is ready .... I will pass on your wishes x

    I will send love & hugs to you all ..... can't really digest everything :A not having a good time at the moment ..... my CT results were worse than anticipated .... I am having an MRI on Friday to try & establish the next course of action if any :(

    FFP :wave: Love ya honey .... thanks for everything xx

    Sexy Thanks for thinking of me this morning ;) you should have mentioned your "venue" problem ..... just because I have a lot going on doesn't mean I can't be there for you xx

    Also a big thanks to all who have sent me messages, you know who you are ...... it means a lot :A :D xx

    Big hugs to Toots xx

    Quick in and out...

    Toots - enjoy your retreat - it sounds lovely!
    Rach - take it easy xxx The lack of hot water may well be due to grot in the header tank. Happens to me occasionally, particularly when someone's tampered with a mains somewhere
    Jo-Jo - hugs

    Took BB to the vets today. She fretted in the waiting room and then had to be literally dragged across the floor into the consulting room (as soon as she realised where we were going, she dropped into a full blown belly lie down!). The diagnosis?

    A wart!

    We are all extremely relieved! But, after last year's shenanigans, we're [STRIKE]paranoid[/STRIKE] cautious
