    I've decluttered a day at school. I was feeling really worried about comments from the kids - they're not always that nice - but I was pleasantly surprised. They all looked at me, eyes narrowed, said nicely 'What is wrong with your face?' I explained that I had to have some sun damaged skin removed. They asked if it hurt, and I said only the local anasthetic, and no- it didn't hurt now, but I felt very self conscious about it, then they just ignored it, and got on.I quite like them today;)

    Thank you for all the good wishes, hugs, and the lovely hellebore hex etc. Much appreciated, if very little deserved.

    Love and hugs, especially for lady-liberty, toots and lamewolf, and any other poorly flyladies who would like one, dippypud, I had that flu, and I still feel like I'm underwater. Mrs Chaos, hugs for you too. Stuff happens, it's only work.
