  • morning all! Hugs and spoons to all who need.

    Yesterday was 22 years since my dad died, and at 10 o'clock we got phone call from my brother in law saying he had been called back to the hospital where his dad was. At 11.45 we got another phonecall to say my father in law had died.

    It seems it was quite a peaceful death, despite his cancer (lung, terminal) he hadn't been in any pain although he was becoming breathless. I think his poor body was just worn out.

    So now we have to sort the funeral and work out how to get as many of us there in person (DD1 will not be able to go so her care has to be added in to the equation.) B_I_L thinks the week after next so I have to make sure he avoids DD2's birthday! (Tactfully of course!)

    Huge hugs for you and yours Cycling Yorkie. We lost my FIL this time last year and it is very difficult, especially for the children.

    Mudbath - glad you feel better now, and full points to an efficient doctor.
    Mollina - Natty posted at the weekend about the Flylady card list, a lot of the older posters/lurkers know each other on Facebook and have exchanged cards for a few years now. We can't exchange details on MSE as it is against the site rules.
    AnW - sounds like a good night out. Did you feel like a giddy teenager again?
    LilMe - you made me laugh with the shovel. I am hoping we stay clear here, can't see the zoom, zoom car coping very well at all, especially as we live on a hill.
    Serena - thinking of you. I took your advice and got some onions and garlic to over winter. First time I have tried, just need to actually get them in the ground now - a DS job once everything stops being frozen.

    There was more but my heads a shed - fretting about these tests today. I have 15 minutes before I need to go so I am going to bimble. Hoovering I think, and try to get the DW done.

  • Right! I need a kick up the !!! so I'm about to go shopping then I'm printing off all off the list and spending the rest of today cleaning.

    I will post my updated list later!
