PenPen of course you can - I would be honored!:A Thats great news that DH is on his way - when is ETA??

Thank you :A He's in Scippol now, so should be home by 11am. DD is working at home today, unexpectedly, which means we will all be able to have lunch together :j but does somewhat scupper the plans I had for me and DH this afternoon :whistle:

HM minestrone soup and foccaccia for luncj. I'm going to make a chocolate cake and some biscuits.

Chicken supreme on the run tonight - I'm missing choir to take DS to see a 6th form college open evening.

AJ how are you feeling now - hopefully the painkillers etc are really kicking in now and you are starting to feel more human

Thanks for asking. I felt amazing in comparison when I went to bed last night. I can sleep on one side now without it being absolute agony which is a bonus and meant that I actually slept last night. I think I am aching now more than being sore but I guess until my muscles have had a chance to relax it is to be expected, they have been like this for 6 days after all! As much as I want to do things I am going to be careful and carry on with my mission to get a better percentage at solitaire on my computer while watching the last day of the Commonwealth Games. Not sure what I will do when it is over tomorrow.

Good news is I think I will be able to go and visit my family this weekend, OH may just need to drive a bit slower. I just hope my niece will understand that Auntie AJ can't pick her up and swing her about like normal, we will be reading LOTS of stories.

I still think the biggest improvement was my visit yesterday and am still really touched by the gesture. Thanks to you guys for keeping me sane and allowing me to moan xx

I'll join you Holly. I haven't posted for a while as have had manic weekend and just trying to get house straightened and tidied after. I obviously have been doing something right, as husband noticed a difference in the house at the weekend. He works away at the moment and comes home every other weekend. I had targeted the dining table as it was completely cluttered and it is now clear, clean and tidy. Next I am going to target our bedroom so it can be decorated! AAm hoping to get it clear before he comes back.

Morning all

Thanks for all the congrats but it really was a case of nobody else applying

Natty - doing well with the demons thanks, the list is really shrinking and I am aware that it is the worst demons left to face now

Holly can you put the rabbit in a pet carried/box whilst doing the hutch shuffle?

Hugs all round

Just going to check bank accounts and then start the kitchen.
