  • Evening. I'm here to ask for thoughts and prayers for the family and friends of a girl from school who, this morning, lost her battle against pneumonia after 3 weeks in ICU.

    She was a great girl who had to deal with many disabilities in her life, but she was usually full of fun and rather cheeky with it!

    We heard the news right at the end of the school day and it came as a huge shock as we had heard yesterday that she was improving.

    Thanks everyone x

    was it not just a link to him singing on youtube or something - seems strange to me - you must have crossed someone somewhere and got dobbed in.

    toots xx

    yes it was - just a link to explain the reference

    (because it's fine I peg the line)

    but since I have been *cof* opinionated in the DT area *cof* someone has wreaked their revenge

    *flicks hair*

    I don't care!

    Just a question

    the LSB (doesn'r smoke but that's just one possible start) has no smoke larms...

    do I 'persuade' him to get the fire brigade to check or just install alarms?

    (we have 3 alarms in Valli Towers;))

    Froddington - So very sad. Happy to offer a few words to him upstairs.

    What is wrong with me. I'm up at stupid o'clock on a Saturday morning! I did all of dowstairs yesterday in a mad cleaning frenzy so I can't even get on with anything because everyone's asleep upstairs. I was even ironing in my bedroom and left the board in there. DH is shattered after a busy week so I won't risk waking him up. Suppose I'll have to peruse the sky planner to find something to watch quietly.

    Morning all,

    Froddy my thoughts and prayers are with you all


    Pigpen - something about judging others comes to mind. I don't 'do' judgemental, and neither should the church - in my opinion! Live and let live......

    Am up, but DH seems to have dissappeared in his lycra. Not sure what time we are off shopping? Might just do a HHI ?

    Have a great saturday everyone
