    I'm in. Thanks to Pigpen and Toots ( love the new post 2 and hope the move goes smoothly). the house is in chaos and my op is a week tomorrow!!!!!

    I've had a busy mothers day. DS2 gave me lovely flowers yesterday and the little ones gave me home made cards and flowers today. DD1 is skint so tidied the kitchen for me this morning (while I was ironing) and helped to prepare the mountain of veggies for lunch.

    DS1 has ignored what today is:(.

    I've sepent most of last week running backwards and forward to the hospital (40 mile roundtrip). my mum is still in hospital and her op has been moved forward to Tuesday. It's been very worrying but she is now out of danger and just needs to be kept stable. My new car is racking up the miles already and has had it's full tank of petrol refilled (with a 5p off from Mr S:money:).

    DH has cleaned the utility room within an inch of it's life (it needed it) and I have more ironing to do due to a good drying day.

    Hugs, congrats, spoons, and thoughts to whoever needs them - sorry I'm not really up to date with what has gone on

    I'm in again this week but probably won't be posting much. Gonna be a very busy week.

    Toots i hope the move goes well and that your feeling better after a good nights sleep.

    Right i'm off to bed and hopefully won't sleep in tomorrow morning.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
