toottifrootti

evening everyone
thank goodness you have all been busy since i havent been around for 2 DAYS to keep an eye on you - I am pleased to see you werent getting your knickers in a twist wondering about me.
wednesdays are getting a bit manic and yesterday was way out of line and i was toooooooooo tired to post last night

Today i was at my niece's birthday party - she's 10 next week - but it was easier to do it this week in the hols - I was tired when i got home but have had numerous phone calls and didnt get on here until after 9!!!
I think i have used up the entire month's supply of spoons so I will need the retreat next week to recover!
yesterday was also a sad day with all the deaths - it is hard to comprehend how the familes and the residents must be feeling today - a terrible tragedy that will be with them and their villages for evermore. so very sad. The man responsible must have been dreadfully tormented in his mind to do such terrible things.

yesterdays catch ups...........

rach hope you got on ok at the doc and feel better to day - take good care of your self honey xx
Lame Wolf you can ask but I will NOT be putting you on the lurker list - you are a very important part of this thread - we are not all able to do the lists but what we lack in physical ability we more than make up for it in spirit and enthusiasm - and you dear lady are an inspiration to us - you have a debilitating illness and yet you manage to do a lot more than some of us who are fine s0 do NOT ever put yourself down again - I think you are just having a bad couple of days - you are missing your doggies and maybe the BD is trying to c0ck a leg inside but that is not allowed - we need you here with your insights on life and your wolfy hugs - I will phone you if you dont keep posting - hows that for a scary prospect!!!!:eek::rotfl: And I wouldnt have known about the spoons if it wasnt for you - and I have passed it on to my OT who has been dishing it out to loads of people !! so that is all thanks to you xx
Hex everything happens for a reason - its not ideal to be made redundant but like you said DH hated his job then it would eventually (if it hasnt already) be affecting his health and wellbeing and all of you as well - I hope the right opportunity arises soon so that you dont lose your house but I totally agree with you - so long as you are together and happy the rest will take care of itself - huge (((HUGS)) and best wishes for your future.
Polly huge squishy (((hugs))) for you and old doggie - I will check up and see how you got on at the vet today.
Graaaaaaan (((hugs))) hope they get the skin graft to take and Danny comes to terms with what he has seen etc - it cant be easy for him after being so excited about going out there - you certainly have your hands full angel - good to hear that DH is getting over his op and that the baby is is the way - safe arrival vibes for baby and DD - have you got the champers ready??? xxxxxx
