    Morning alll

    Paulie hugs for you this morning.

    Wooohoooo have booked sites for our holiday in the summer and at Easter. The original plans we had for Easter have changed so I booked club sites for both hols last night. What with being away for Feb half term as well we need to get organised!

    Better go and get dressed and get lunches sorted for the SW's

    When I get back from the school run I shall be starting a HHC at 9am, so if anyone wants to join me you have enough warning!

    Hello, I just saw the sad news about Diva on FB and wanted to say how sad I am to hear that she is no longer with us. She was such a lovely, kind and caring lady, she will be greatly missed.

    Big hugs to you all xx

    Yep, posted it last night. Over 60 candles now.

    Breakfast eaten and some hoovering done. So now I need to wash the floors downstairs before going back upstairs to wash/dress/do some work.

    Dw on, animals all fed and watered and kids nearly ready for school. Frost here this morning so car is warming up. Need to go to shop on way to school, then back and i plan to do both lists today as i might go down and see my sister tomorrow. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
