    Good morning flyladies.

    Sorry I've been awol. My mum is still very poorly and I have my hand operation today. I'm rather nervous and need to have some food before 7.30.

    I'm glad you are safely in your new home Toots. Please could you keep me on the list as a lurker.

    I hope all my flylady friends have a lovely week and smoothing vibes for anyone going through a tough time.
