Lamewolf you're not on your own, just imagine us all in the room with you. Amazing how many places I take you all with me, especially when I have to speak in front of close to 200 people

Ok I'm going now ...DP just emailed in sick for college (he's actually not well and grumpy) so will see what work I can get out of him

Boddy, I am really sorry to hear your news. I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family. Lots of love.

Hi can I join in please? I read some of the previous posts and related to almost all of them (very ashamed when people drop in unannounced due to the state of the house). I desperately need to get on top of things as we are going on hols in 20 days and someone is house sitting and the house needs to be presentable (it is seriously untidy right now). I'm facing the mess of a four bedroomed house filled with four children and one at uni, a husband who works full time and a large dog.
Feel like I'm chasing my tail and have no routine to speak of.
Also due to start new job as a hospital receptionist after xmas so time will be even shorter for chores so I think a good routine will really help.
Thanks
Dawn

So sorry to hear about your mum Boddy.

I'm in this week but fleetingly. I'm a night shift tonight so I'm off back to bed shortly. Will be sleeping whilst DD at school tomorrow (after collecting her from my mums) then its all go for tennis, tea and rainbows for her and then I'm out with friendsfor a meal tomorrow night. I cant wait for wednesday at 9.30 am when I'll be able to have a nap if needed!!
Whizzed round S&Sing this morning and things are reasonable and the rest'll have to wait until later in the week.
Hugs to those in need.

Boddy honey I am so very sorry to see your news - I hope you will find comfort knowing that she is no longer in pain and is at peace with the angels. You have been a loving daughter and your special relationship shone through in your posts - I will miss hearing about you taking her out for her puff etc I am sending you strength vibes to help you through the next while and loads of love and hugs for you all - as the others have said - if you need anything we would be happy to help. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, loads of love toots xx
