    kathy huge hugs for you and your mum, what a awful time for you and a difficult thing for you to have to wirte but at least you and your mum know what her wishes are.
    when my fil was ill hed at least had time to speak to the drs and tell them his wishes and because i knew he wanted to be at home i fought everything to get him back there. in a way it did make it slightly easier knowing wed followed his wishes instead of guessing what he wanted and fretting over if wed done right for him.
    i really do feel for you

    still no change at least that means no backward steps, drs are allowing regular visits so the twins dont forget each other the worry now is that lola will forget lily and when she is finally allowed home (still no date given) jealousy will ensue as she will see her sister as a stranger trying to muscle in on her homelife. i hadnt even thought of that.
    been round mils stripping the paper of the bathroom all morning, my back and shoulder are just now starting to ache so think later plans are warm bath glass of wine and a few pages of my book.
    but for now better get the welcome wagon ready my little walker is due back soon tired and no doubt muddy, at least the weather held out so he should be dry. going to a ukelele making workshop with him tomorrow so that should be fun.

    have a good weekend all

    Thanks, Shaz, for your kind words.

    Mrs Moneypenny, thanks. It is a sad time but it helps to know that I can help to put Mum's mind at ease. It's really good that the doctors are taking such care of the twins in other ways, not just medical. I would never have thought of things that way, either. Lots of hugs and positive wishes for them both, and their parents; it must be such a difficult time for them, when all they want is two happy healthy girls at home together where they belong.

    hi, isom, hope you have a lovely day with your god daughter tommorrow
    weather is lovely and sunny here today also. new meds seem to be working already, good job too, or i would be ready to kil somebody today lol. daniel has been mugged in the town centre, they've taken his wallet, and £112 he had just withdrawn a fortnights benefit money, plus his bus pass which is of no use to any one else as it has his photo in it. luckily only his pride is hurt, police been informed, not that much will happen, unless they are picked up on cctv. poor danny seems to attract so much trouble lately. me and my mum have raided our fridge and storecupboard, so he wont starve at least
    hugs all

    morning all - a good day here today, the sun is shining and the garden is calling (have bought some tomato plants which need to get into the ground today) and the weeds are all doing a victory dance, so i had better get out there and sort them out. not much crocheting going on, but i am on target for what i expect to achieve, so its all pretty good, other than the fact that those naughty "finishing off elves" have not been here to darn in the ends and sew on the buttons, however, perhaps if i leave the jumpers for another week or so, i will wake up and they will be done - either that or wait for a rainy day.

    kathy, i am thinking of you, if you want to chat i think you should still have my number, if no, pm me and i will call you.

    hope everyone else is profiting from the lovely day and the beginning of a fresh week with no blemishes on it yet - be well and hugs to all.

    morning all, another sunny day here, luckily in the flat we have nice communal gardens, but no gardening to do, so we can just sit outside and enjoy the fresh air:j
    Daniel is becoming quite depressed and withdrawn, hardly suprising after all he has been through lately, we are hoping that he gets a nice flat out of the area sometime soon. The police are carrying out investigations, no other news so far.

    update
    1 baby blanket
    1 single sized blanket
    1 teddy

    i have on the needles, another teddy, and also another baby blanket.
    also hoping to finish off a summer top for myself this week
    hugs to all
    love shaz xxx
