    It felt really strange having those staff yesterday as though somebody had sent them and the phrase purple angel kept coming in to my mind...don't know why ...how strange

    Purple is the colour of healing. (My mum is seriously into Reiki healing). I can happily have you added to a lot of healing lists if you like. Just PM me your real name (I'm not sure if it works for internet aliases! ;) ) if you like and I'll get it sorted for you. xxx

    As for angels...they are sent to help us. What a randon but nice thing to think under those circumstances...you could almost thing that there are other forces at work. ;)

    Xmas Saver!
    Roast Chicken I was drooling - you do realise that when the weather gets better you had better be evicting all your neighbours, - I'm sure theres a big queue of people wanting to come and see this wonderful lady and her family and celebrate on the Big One... (think the neighbours wouldn't like us swinging off their wardrobes as well as kicking them out! ) xxx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    You sound quite a bit better, Taxi, being able to think about mse things, thats brilliant! And excellent you can think of doing the shopping again - sounds like that'll save a *lot* of money :p

    As you know, I'm veggie, so I'll just snaffle some roast potatoes if I may :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Am feeling a lot better Karma but only if I don't think of chemo.I've an appointment with psycologist on weds to see what's happening.
    Have took the bull by the horns this morning and sorted a couple of niggles out.
    Firstly,when I got my wellies the other week I was meant to get a free bootbag worth £27.50 but they were out of stock and having heard nothing decided to phone them.Apparently they are out of stock until the end of May so they've offered me some acceptable alternatives and think I'm going to opt for the Barbour socks and cheap boot bag...wasn't bothered about the boot bag in the 1st place but it's the principle.

    Secondly,when applying online to change my zero account to the 123 account it gave me a reference number and said it would take up to a week to sort out which I thought was strange so phoned Santander and found the right department.The lady did it in a few minutes and it is now showing right in online banking and she recommended the credit card too as I can get cashback on petrol,supermarket shopping and dept store shopping.The credit card fee will be waived for the 1st 12 months as she set me up a DD to pay it each month for in full.Shame Aldi and Lidl don't take CCs ..lol...card was approved for £5500 not that I'll ever need that much.
    I've still got all the accounts to do yet though...sigh
