    morning all

    oh ginny that is such fantastic news, tell her i am so pleased and that i wish her friends dear little one health and good wishes. i know from what my brither went through how hard it is to watch a baby struggle like this.
    my thoughts and good wishes are with her.

    pippa mil is very well thank you, i know she is lonely after fil passed and the dr is keeping an eye on her for that shed had a cough so was having breathing and lung capacity tests. my dh pops in on his way home from work every day he has done since he left home! and were both round a few times over the weekend with shopping jobs that need doing or just having a cuppa and i ty and pop round at least once during the week. she has 3 different clubs she goes to but sometimes she gets rather selfish of our time she never asks after my mum if dh mentions weve visited her (we only manage that about once every 4-6 weeks because shes further away) and since i got upset and asked her not to call the twins sugarbag babies jus after they were born shes never one asked after them so doesnt even know whats happened. my mum is on her own but apparently "thats different because shes younger" and "anyway my dad left her" !!!!!
    I think having the person you thought loved you choose to walk out would be equally devistating and being younger means you are lonely for longer surely. i do love her but sometimes i do have to have to bite my tongue

    got to get my split ends and grey roots sorted this morning so have casted another bunting on to take with me.

    have a wonderful morning all and please ignore my moaning.

    Hi everyone - energy increasing here and mojo is returning because I am looking through my patterns.

    Pippa - I lost my appetite as I always do when I'm not well, so I couldn't face chocolate for ages, but I've treated myself to some Lidl's own Mars bar type things and they are going down very well with a cuppa! Lovely photos on your Flickr link!

    Shaz - hope the falling-out with Daniel is soon sorted out.

    Ginnyknit - hugs to your OH. Sleep is the best healer, I think.

    Mrs Moneypenny - hugs to your MIL. I can understand how you must have to bite your tongue every so often.

    Spikyhedgehog - please stay; you are very welcome and we'd love to get to know you.

    Chalky - hope you are enjoying Spain; glad you arrived safely.

    Jean - I hope you're taking some time out for yourself.

    Well, off for another cuppa. Hugs to all in need.

    KathyXX

    Hello one and all and lots of love tucked in!,,
    Spikeyhedgehog please do not retreat. We love new members. I do realise the some people find it hard to join us ...... But our unity ( it is not clique ness) really does make us strong. It does not make us exclusive ... Stay awhile and you will find this to be true.

    And apart from that some of us have somewhat obsessive tendencies .. I probably,more than most. Much to the amusement of "friends" on here. And one of mine is ....... Hedgehogs!,,, SO you really should feel at home.

    Well, our little village has a Fiesta for four days. WHat that means is party on for about 23 out of 24 hours a day.

    Sleeping .. Ummm tricky. Poor OH really struggles whereas once I am off well . A lightning storm won't wake me

    I am hhoking a Lappy just now .... No change there then!

    Will read back tomorrow and catch up with all the news x
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    can i ask a really big favour of all my friends on here please.
    can you pray for my lovely mum, she was rushed into hospital this morning, after been ill for a few days, she got worse in hospital, and they are performing emergency surgery on her tonight.
    she has a strangulated hernia, is in loads of pain, and scarily she is vomiting fecal matter, as her bowels are obstructed.
    praying as hard as i can that she will make it thru, and any extra prayers will be very much appreciated
    lots of love to all
