    My FiL got his scan yesterday and he needs more tests. His lungs are scared and it's unusual as it's only affecting 1 part of the lung. The doctor said that she has never seen this before so it's a wait and see.:(

    thinking of you and yours :A
    Know what you mean, piggers a pregnancy is always easier experienced vicariously.

    So true :D
    X Thousand, six hundred and fifty four pounds and 79 pence.

    Work out how to spend lump sum in the most enjoyable manner. Car? Holiday? Bass? [no need for ? - there WILL be a bass bought]...bills are all decluttered already.

    The only flying I did yesterday was decluttering the front of the garage at my parents house and probably lots of ££££s.

    Glad you're ok :A

    no can do..
    tis a hour each way
    :o:o

    so what I am doing is flying like a good girl, and aiming to get LOTS done then I can be a bad girl with a clear conscience another day;);)

    and have cunningly arranged to meet my flymates tomorrow for coffee when I have to go to town anyway to pick up DS's prom suit (and THIS means I won't be subjected to the Spanish Inquisition - which is where my mum has come back from, having been on holiday and will no doubt be dying to hear what I have been up to. In the interests of her blood pressure however, (high) she'll get the edited version;))

    (I love a two birds one stone scenario)

    am shredding and flinging like a good 'un!

    FFP (((hugs))) for you and yours...
