    I'll join your HHC dancemum.

    Happy Birthday Hex - hope you are less sore soon, and the children do some flying for your birthday treat.

    Having a lazy morning again - slept in until 8.15, then stayed in bed for a bit with Ebony cat, and have now been doodling online catching up with threads and emails. So, plan before HHC is to have breakfast and get dressed. If I have time, I may empty the DW whilst I'm down there (if not, I'll leave it for 10).

    Sorry to hear about your loss jjef. At least going in your sleep is a good way to go (one of our neighbours did that on Friday).

    Hope the buttons did the trick yesterday LadyL, and you're feeling a bit stronger today. The offer of the spinach is still there if you fancy it. ;)

    Hugs for all who need or want them,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Has the same girls in it and we are all looking forward to it, although have been warned it is even more hard work than STEPPS was..ack!! It's also a year long one..ack!!!

    JJeff sorry for your loss hon, hugs to you and your family..xxx

    Happy Birthday Hex, hope you have a lovely day and get everything you wish for.. xxx

    Hugs and spoons to everyone, including JJ, LW, Toots and LL..xxx

    Mumto5 thank you so much for my pm yesterday, it was really sweet of you and you reduced me to a blubbering mess.. But I am in a better frame today so will be able to deal with Westcott when they contact me again.. DH said get the dog to bark at them down the phone..lol.

    Flying wise I have decluttered a banana and yoghurt for breakfast, taken my meds and am up fully dressed. Have washed up and tidied up in the living room, and made the bed.

    Am now going to declutter myself to group.. Be back later guys xxx
