    Morning all – done sweet FA this morning apart from dailies. Foggy and cold here and sat at work so feeling sorry for myself! Had a quick skim so here goes:
    Msg – hope your op goes well today - all of us are thinking of you
    Wilf – WTG your son – sounds like more e baying and as the others said try to get some funding through local businesses
    Missh – well done your DD
    Sunyg – hugs for you and your friends family – hope the LO gets well soon
    Pen – I like option ‘a’. How lovely of your friend to give you flowers
    Mumof5 - happy birthday to your little man

    There’s loads more I wanted to say but has disappeared from my brain. Seen loads of you are feeling under the weather – I’m sure it’s the time of year that does it – hugs all round x

    Morning campers, not doing too well here after a really icky group therapy session yesterday. But I'll come out of it as I normally do..

    Had a nice baking session, with my friends young foster daughter, yesterday afternoon. It was just what I needed after a bad group therapy session, and I wound down really quickly. Although it did help that I had to keep an eye on C as she is a real monkey, 11yr old and she can sulk for England..lol

    Afraid I haven't done anything since I got up, and I'm still in pj's. And the sun is shining and the washing is still going around in the machine, oh well never mind. It probably wouldn't dry anyway, there isn't really a lot of heat in the sun by the time it gets to my garden :)

    Sorry I haven't caught up on the thread, so apologise if I have missed any birthdays etc.. Will catch up during lunch and post appropriately :)

    Off to declutter myself in the shower, well once Supernanny USA has finished..lol

    Hugs and love to everyone, especially LL, Diva and Toots
