    helenjelly my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Gentle ((hugs))

    no flying in the house achieved so far; cleaned out some manky pets, & decluttered a yummy omelette. Got 15 minutes to do a mad S&S of the kitchen before the school run, and then more to do later. Will report back (otherwise I won't get anything done at all!)
