    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 :o 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

    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

    Dog still sulking about yesterday's bath. Mood slightly improved now she has ben out and fed. Kitchen sparkling mainly due to staying up later than DD so no pots in the sink or biscuit crumbs on the worktop. Vacuumed the LR floor - early start as off to Manchester once the kids are at school for a bit of retail therapy (window shopping mostly) DH works in Manchester but I have never been so be nice to see some different shops. Bins out - very full after all my decluttering of things that are no use to CS or ebay. Have a good day x
