  • Morning Flygang,

    looks like another lovely day here...though I fear an emotional one in this house as its DS's leaving service today from his beautiful infant school.

    Having a quiet coffee and chillout, then a HHI, before everyone gets up. School run and then a morning at home with DH before we go off to that service - so think we'll keep busy and do some much needed bits and bobs about the place. Best go find a list....


    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.

    Morning all, we went and helped sister and BIL move (why do they have a house with 3 flights of stairs:eek:). I'm tired today but really have to get with the house it a big mess again.

    Rhys managed 6 steps in a row yesterday yeaaaaa :j He took only one nap for half an hour, went to bed at 7 and up at 7.

    Onestep (((big hugs)))

    Pigpen please get seen by someone. Triple the list if it makes you go. :p

    Rose it's great to hear from you and i'm so pleased your bussiness is doing well.

    Toots i hope all goes well today.

    I best go and reload the DW and fling stuff in the WM.

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
