Welcome to nsimpson123, Al1x, chrisfh and decluttering
Piggers - love the cutest easter bunny going
vanilla - more hugs hun. I know its so hard for you. Somewhere you have to find a compromise, maybe if your IL's saw how unhappy you are they might help. Lots of excellent replies read since especially Trikers and AnW'smum. And at 6.45 thats a huge list to be thinking about doing tonight, hope you managed to put your feet up for a bit x
Nixie - hope alls ok on Thursday (might forget by then
so fingers crossed in advance)
Kazw - WTG excellent news on the bloods
AJmoney - Please get the family to talk to OH's dad when they go in. Even if he is asleep he still might be able to hear. It might be comforting for them to think that he might be able to hear them as well.
Jojo - shouldnt laugh but ........ and hope DD ok tomorrow
GnB - good luck for tomorrows exam
I am sure I have missed loads as well so hugs n spoons all round.

Morning All
Good Luck with your exam G&B
Hugs Vanilla
AJ - hope he's on the mend soon
Kaz - well done
DH came home unexpectedly last night so we went to Taybarns for tea - I ate too much and as AF is also here felt rather bloated and uncomfortable so after doing some schoolwork I had an early night and did nothing. I'm going to get up in a minute and make a start though as my aunty is picking the kids up from school tonight and bringing them here so I need to have a tidy up and a hoover. The ironing mountain I'll move out of my LR into my bedroom where it won't be seen!
Have a good day all
Hugs
