I would like to do something on Friday to mark Diva's ceremony - too far to travel maybe we can re-light candles on Friday? Any other ideas?

Totally agree .. candles would be lovely & maybe we can all wear something purple?

Afternoon all,

:bdaycake:Happy Birthday Natty :bdaycake:

Good luck on the 28th shysarah you've done really well to conquer your demons.

If the 'fish' didn't recognise your brilliance Valli, then he's obviously not worthy! Will you be dangling another worm?

neveah hope your DD is ok,

Not read all thread again -sorry dont seem to have much time at moment but it has been a trying week for so many so big hugs if you need them.

noticed some of you were commenting on how much little spare time they had to do the things they want , my hubby once said' leave the house work and do what you want to do ' he then said it'll still be there tomorrow for you to do !!!!! - like I said he only said this once,
I have now trained him :rotfl:

Hi all
I'm here!! Been busy for the last week or so but I am still reading back when I can and flying in a very small way at the moment.

I was so very sorry to hear that Diva has passed on - my thoughts are with her friends and family at this difficult time...

Neveah I was sorry to hear that you are losing your dog, such a sad thing to have happened, but you'll never be able to rest if you keep him. I was attacked by a golden retriever 20 years ago and still have the scars - no warning, he just turned on me - they really are loving dogs, but for some reason they sometimes just turn. Very sad, though, and I hope your DD soon feels better.

Right...here's the scary list...I've been rushed off my feet this week, but have done some of the following:

Level Three
Wipe units and large appliances.. don't forget kickboards!
Wipe the insides of all the cupboard doors!

Extras

1. Wash/replace any scanky dishclothes/sponges etc

4. Wash the brushes, mops, dustpans etc.. how gross do these get?

Hugs for pigpen - it sounds like you need one at the moment. Hope getting your nails done this morning made you feel a little better. Even if you're not number one in your OH's eyes (you should be), you are definitely OUR number one!

Hugs also for tootles - I see you have some blue skies for a change up in Scotland today (from the weatherforecast I saw this morning), so hope they lift your spirits a bit.

Oh neveah - I'm so sad to hear your news. Hope DD is feeling in less pain soon, and that both your hearts are too. Sending big hugs your way.

Happy Birthday Natty - tried to send you a text to tell you this, but it seems to not want to deliver. Not sure if you've changed your number?

Hope you had a lovely day out today LadyL and didn't get too wet. Thank you for updating us all about Diva. Sorry to hear that mudbath is poorly again - send her my love - I'll send positive vibes her way too.

Decluttered some more money for the wedding today (had to pay the balance on the honeymoon). Also arranged to meet up with a friend on Tuesday to sort out my hen-do.

The weather here is miserable, so a perfect opportunity to do some spring cleaning, although I'm not looking forward to going out in the garage to do the washing.

I need to print off and fax my expenses form for work in a minute, and check through my time sheets to see which ones I've received payslips for and so can now declutter into the woodburner.

Does anyone fancy a HHC 4.15 - 4.45? I'm guessing some kiddiwinks may be home to lend a hand by then too.

Oh neveah I've been there. Massive hugs for you.
Hope little one's okay and the breeder is the best place for pup.
I had a soppy teddy bear that went for my MiL. Broke my heart but you just cant risk it.
I know it's heartbreaking - but in another situation pup might just turn back into soppy sausage... mine did, breaks my heart to know he's not with me but it's better than the alternative.
Probably not what you're considering at the moment but does LO have other dogs she can be friends with? (If you and her are feeling up to it) could turn into a phobia (my niece had nothing half so traumatic as that and crosses the street to get away from them )

Anyway massive hugs again for you and LO.
(Tell me to shurrup if it sounds like I'm going on or preaching to the choir, dont mean to.)

Flying wise I have done sweet FA!
Didnt sleep well, so I'm tired. DH is home now so I'll try to have a bit of a go. You know it's bad when you dont even empty the DW. :eek:

Ladies, ladies! The way to do this (and get away with it) is to swap targets SO LIT you get the lowdown on Mr pjjjx and Pjjjx locks on mr LIT - get it? That way neither of you have any connection to the target and that's what'll make the crime harder to solve

I want to murder him myself though.. with my bare hands.. for upsetting my small people wonder what time he can be bothered to pick them up today.. or if he will in fact bother at all.

I would like to do something on Friday to mark Diva's ceremony - too far to travel maybe we can re-light candles on Friday? Any other ideas?

Maybe a few moments of silent prayer/reflection at 1:15? and the wearing of purple is obligatory!

Pigpen, good luck in the big scarey world outside!

Erm.. I wussed it and didn't go :o:o:o

I feel the need for a jolly good strop and blub coming on... *sigh*.. I already have a sore throat so don't really want to do that.

Huge vibes for Mudbath - thanks for the update LL I was wondering where she was.
:wave:Pollybear
Crafty - hope you enjoy it
Lamewolf - does Mr LW fancy coming here and fitting some more doors? We have some lovely reclaimed ones that have been living in my kitchen for at least a year now.

Need to crack on with tidying and cleaning the kitchen :cool: ETA joining you at 4.15 sexymouse
