    Morning All,

    Hugs to those in need

    Nice and bright here but looks a bit frosty.

    DH is limping again, we had lit the fire last night and got up to poke it. A cinder jumped out and lodged between his toe. Hence him leaping about the living room screeching and the rest of us trying to catch him to get it out. Oh my goodness:rotfl:it was so funny, I laughed until the tears streamed. He does have a little blister :o but it made me laugh so much:rotfl:

    Anyway already have on wash load on several more to go. Swept the kitchen floor and cleaned the downstairs loo, just about to have breakfast.
    Going to crack on with the decorating in the kitchen today.

    Its difficult at the moment as we are trying to plan DS3 A Levels as if we will be here in the uk, but are hopeful we will be in Australia by then if everything goes to plan, and he may end up going to college there. He is such a love though and is happy to go with the flow.

    Tea tonight will probably be a quick pizza, but will pull out a big piece of pork from the freezer and do a big roast dinner tomorrow.

    Have a good day all J x

    morning all

    not feeling good today :( spent most of the night feeling sick then trying to be sick. kind of hurts when you have nothing in you bring up. wondering what the point is big time. me and hubby just cant get on at the moment. i know he is struggling with everything but wish he wouldnt take it out on me. i know this is all my own fault and just dont need that pointing out :(

    still need to get up and dressed. wishing these painkillers would tale more of an effect but dont think they are going to :(

    sorry for the miserable post :(

    I have had a message from UOLYPOOL and she has asked me to let you all know that she is with her sister at the hospital and taking turns staying with her niece. Her niece is in a medically induced coma. They have dealt with the break in her back and will hopefully bring her round tomorrow. They wont know if she has any feelings in her legs until then.
    Please all of you send positive vibes and healing prayers to her and her family.
