    Morning all,
    I can't post at the moment-am in a very dark place at the moment and am struggling to do anything at all.

    However I had to come on to wish all the exam candidates(and all their families) of course the very best of luck.

    Particular kind and warm thoughts to all the paper one English paper(this mornings exam)

    Will be awaiting the visit of the big red parcel force van in the morning(with trepadation as I am very anti social at the moment) and will think of all of you.

    Take care and thank you.

    I think of you a lot. hugs and kind thoughts to you all.

    No home visit - unless you count the fact that DH happens to be a surgeon. Brought the stuff home from the nurse on Friday.:D Next time I won't bother even trying the nurse.

    Morning:wave:
    Glad you've stayed off NPM- hope your cough improves soon.
    Jackie- sorry your Mum didnt look too good.You took a big step and I hope you feel better for it now.x
    Lou- pleased you had a nice day yesterday with DH.
    Anniestar -hope things brighten up for you soon.

    Happy birthday esmf and Little Miss Bargainbird-have good days
    Good luck to all with exams.

    The turkey was delish yesterday,loads left,which will help me with low carbing,think we'll have some more for tea,then I'll freeze the rest in gravy,and make soup.I have some mince that needs cooking too,but can reheat that tomorrow.

    I spent a lot of time on Ebay yesterday,looking for another sewing machine,as I've decided to upgrade mine and get one with more features and stitches.I couldnt really see one I wanted,so went on the site I got the one I have now from,and took the plunge.Once its arrived I'll sell the old one.There's nothing wrong with it and its in good nick,but I wanted one that can do bits of embroidery and other stuff.I've finished the baby tag blankets that DSis IL wanted me to make-well, made extra because the genders unknown to other people yet,so made 2 pink,2 blue.2 of DS friends are having babies this year so they'll do as presents for them.Also ordered some job lots of ribbon so I have more variety.

    Right,better go and do some more housework :(:rotfl:
    Take care all.x
