pjjjx - hope you have friends and family around you to support. Sending lots of hugs and coping vibes.
toots - glad you are feeling better. Your post reminded me of mum's visits when I first moved over here and she was still in Germany. People here always asked us which places we'd taken her to - back home they asked her what we'd managed to get done during her visit. :rotfl:Good to know you did a bit of both. :T
Small Cat is now leading 4-0, despite a helpful friend. I've decided to just feed her for a while and see what happens. She is very friendly and doesn't mind being touched, but is very jumpy and clearly doesn't want to be inside.

Not the most successful day, but I needed to spend some time with DS2, so we went to the garden centre and walked around the pet shop.
Busy day tomorrow, but I'll pop in. x0 -
Dippypud - I subbed for you earlier...;)
I thought thatif I got the sealant thing wrong you'd know..LOL
BTW that kitten SO CUTE

I think the scientist who could develop a permanent kitten would make a killing...

Thank you Honey Bear0 -
I am considering doing the same (even though I feel DS1 should help anyway), but have no idea how much to offer as an incentive. Any ideas?.
I reckon a fiver for a basic clean that'll take an hour or a tenner for a really deep clean...I'd pay mine that to do the kitchen, it's rancid.:oDFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08

Evening! Hope everyone had a good day. I've done bits and bobs and started sorting school stuff so will update list before I go to bed.
Toots - glad you're feeling a bit better. You and your NOF are in my thoughts and prayers xx
AnW and Miss A - you are both wonderful for helping out like you did :A :A I'm very pleased to see The List getting smaller!
L-L - hugs and prayers for you too xx
seafarer's - hope you had a wonderful day!Hope you had a fab time at Wicked and at the cinema froddy - I've been wanting to see Wicked since it started (it was on in LA when we were on holiday, but we didn't have time to go then, and Moon isn't really into musicals either). What you been watching at the cinema?
Thank you - it was fantastic! I'd highly recommend it. I went to see True Grit with dad yesterday (it's very rare that he wants to see something at the cinema!!) and then we went to Pizza Express courtesy of Mr T
A lovely afternoon and we both really enjoyed it.
pjjjx - huge hugs; please shout or PM if you want to offload x
LW - virtual hugs for you too x
PenPen - that's not like you; take care x
hex - love the comments from S; won't be cats for me though
mudbath - plenty of 'bog off infection' vibes heading your way x

Hi all
This is Ian, MOney Saving Divas OH
I am sorry this message has been a while coming but life has been a little hectic and upside down to say the least.
Thank you to everyone who thought of MSD on the 18th and wore purple. It was such a lovely tribute to Sonja.
Everyone who attended said that the service was lovely and just what she would have wanted which was a great comfort to me.
Thank you all once again.
