    Morning all.

    I didn't know MSD but very sad to hear the news.

    Weather is awfull here, it's snowing but the ground is wet so at the moment it's not lying. Hopefully it wont as need to go to the shops after this kids come home from school as it is OH birthday tomorrow. I would have gone myself while they were at school but waiting on a delivery.

    Got a washing on and one drying on the airer.
    Going to do a stock take and see what food I need to buy later.
    Got some banking today as well.

    Other than that not much else planned.

    Have a good day all

    Maybe you could post a PM to MSD's DP/DH with a link to the threads, so he can see how highly she was regarded by us all.

    Lady-liberty, who was MSD's closest friend, is in touch with her OH so I'm sure she will let him know about the threads. :)
