    LW what about home delivery? Could you arrange delivery for when Mr LW is home?
    And hugs to anyone else who wants one!

    Anyone heard from soappie lately?

    Dailies only this week.. Life too busy, not enough hours in the day & I'm feeling a little glum. House is looking ok, thanks to previous weeks but I feel bad that I'm not keeping it up. Hopefully tomorrow will be better..

They can find someoen else to carry on, and the cheek of it all, they send me an email asking / telling me to train up my replacments, before they demote me!! stuff them...........

    Plus OH has just knocked the socks off me so to speak, as he has presented me with an eternity ring it is lovely, will need adjusting to fit, it seems we have been together for 5 year, (I forgot:o:o) and time has flown by.

    Off tomorrow to visit my mother's grave for mother's day, and then to see my father, so have a good day tomorrow I'll catch up over the weekend

    Hugs xxxx

    1 - good for you - exactly the right attitude IMO

    2 - awwwwww

    3 - awwwwww too. Must be a horrible time of year for those of us who've loved and lost them... hope you - and all other flyladies whose mums are no longer here - have precious memories which make you smile. Your mums are with you in your heart x

  • Evening all

    Feel better vibes to all poorlie flyers.

    Not much flying done since this morning but OH and I went to meet a friend for dinner and a catch up. which I really enjoyed as I havent seen anyone for a couple of months as I havent been up to it.

    Tomorrow I need to pack DS bag as well as go to the shops to pick him up some bits and piece before OH and I drop him at the airport to meet KH.

    While Im at the shops looking for DS I need to have a quick nose for some new stuff for me as I have gained two dress sizes :eek: whilst off sick and although PJ and elastic waisted Jogger bottomes and T-shirts are ok for at home dont think they go down well when I go back to work, which ingers crossed will be the week after next as Im seeing the specialist next week.
