    I was a good Wolf; not only did I do HHYoga, I carried on for another HHExercise on the Wii, took my afternoon phone call from Mr LW (he checks I'm OK twice daily), and cleared my email.

    I now have a date with Dr Kawashima.:rotfl:

    Sammiell hoping your nephew is OK (((HUG)))

    Thank you all. DH really wants to go too. It is really painful being here. It most probably isn't anything serious but it will be better for all of us to be there. We are in contact with him by text messaging but he is rigged up to heart monitors etc so not much fun for him.

    I have decided we will go. :)

    have just got home from work and skimming through posts - so glad you've decided to go bet he will be pleased to see you .

    Hugs to all and Happy birthday to those who are celebrating today.

    just off to vacuum hall and stairs and spray polish so hubby thinks I have been very busy !!!

    Wet and windy here at the mo. Had to push dog out when I got home from work looked at me as if I was mad --now he is sat by front door hoping to go out sorry but raining out there too :rotfl:
