    You're welcome Sistercas - very sad news. I very rarely post on here but always keep up with the thread and MSD's posts were always a delight to read for their kindness xx
  • I remember MSDs posts from when I was a new lurker - what sad news :(

    Had a bit of a scare about 30 mins ago - there was an almighty green flash on the lane and I saw a power cable come down. It's actually one that goes over the house so we do still have electricity. So the cable is currently draped over our roof and resting on next doors telephone cable across the drive then through their trees. It's not sparking but apparently it's buzzing. Eleccy people aware - the emergency message said they knew of a fault in our area - I think the cable goes to the people over the road - it's dark over there!!! - and engineers here asap.

    Bit scary :eek::eek::eek: - think I need a gin:D

    Just logged on so not read the thread yet, I will go back shortly and catch up.

    Very sad news about Moneysaving Diva, my thoughts are with her family.

    Not had the best start to the day, my Mum was mugged this morning, on the way home from Mass, and very close to home. The thug knocked her to the ground and pulled her bag, which she wears cross her body, the bag strap eventually gave way and he ran off with it, her purse and bank cards included. Luckily she had her keys in her pocket. She screamed and no one came to help, she does not remember how she got home and is now very shaken, she actually said, "I thought he was going to choke me". We cancelled her Bank card and then I rang the Gardai who came to take her statement.......5 hours later....it makes me mad how low a priority something like this is now in our society.

    Not much OS now, althought I did a small Tesco shop very early this morning and put the WM on, so now need to pack away the shopping, and empty the WM. Dinner will be chicken stir fry and noodles, if I can be bothered.....at this stage, tea and toast would do me.

    Hope you are all having better days.


    Sorry to hear about your mom:(
    I:( hope that she will be ok.
    I also hope that they get the little pice of sh*t:mad:
