    Just a quick one before my shower.
    Off out tonight, dentist this morning, should be DDs little Xmas assembly in Nursery but her chest is still very rough so not sure about sending her.
    All of this waffle pales in comparison to Jac's news which is terribly sad, I hope BIL is at peace and that you all find comfort in one another.
    Am feeling incredibly grateful for my family this morning who will be getting extra hugs rather than nags this morning. Hugs for you Jac and your family xxxxx

    Dazi hugs for you too lovey xxx

    Lou hugs for you lovey xxx

    Nowt else to say but I hope you are all OK, that the bad weather has blown itself out where you all.

    Love to everyone, especially those whomare struggling xxxx

    Morning everyone,

    Jackie, I am so sorry to hear your news, much love to you and your family.

    I am really tired after my night out last night but it was really enjoyable and the food was lovely. I am off out again tonight to a friends house for a meal but I am determined to be home and in bed for 11pm as I have to get up early in the morning as DD2 has another netball tournament.
    We heard yesterday that she has been picked for county trials in january, that would mean even more netball!

    Tea tonight is HM pizza.

    Hugs to all in need, especially Lou.

    Have a lovely day everyone.:)

    JackieG - I am so sorry to hear the news about your dear BIL. I know you were all hoping it would be delayed a while yet. Even when we know what's on the cards it doesn't help the sense of devasating loss when it actually happens. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Morning

    Day off today - then its a 6 day week for me!

    Off this morning to a Big Breakfast - its 3 years on Monday since my wonderful friend lesley died:( and her close friends remember her by going out to breakfast - her favourte meal was an all day breakfast.

    OS - not a lot today - the usual daily grind of washing, cleaning and cooking. Will look round the lovely shops and market of Ludlow for a few extra presents.

    Collected DHs new pills yesterday - he now has Resless leg Syndrome on top of all his other ailments. He's not too well atm so I'm keeping a close eye on him.

    Good news re my car - its had a new Cat and passed the MOT:j cost nearly £200 for the work and MOT but its a great little car:)

    JackieG - (((hugs))) so sorry for your loss x x x x x

    Dazi - (((hugs))) to you x x x x x

    take care all x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    I feel horrid today. I had a midwife appointment yesterday and Roo is doing well... but is in such an odd position it's Roo's bottom is what is pushing against my ribs and squashing my stomach, making me feel so sick! Anyway, I have been complaining of pains in my lower back and front recently, and although the hospital said they were nothing to worry about, yesterday the midwife said I have 2 markers for a UTI and the pains are an indications too, so she has sent off to confirm if I have one!

    Then last night I was really sick... and that gave me a nose bleed... so I feel dehydrated this morning, with a sore nose and a headache!

    Add to that DS is tired and driving me nuts this morning! DH is fussing over me and making me 'rest rest rest' (bless him)!

    Tomorrow MIL is visiting, and boy I hope I feel better by then, she takes a lot of energy...

    I think I sounds miserable today, so I am going to sign off before I depress everyone!

    Hester - Good on your DH for standing up for himself!
    Molly41 - Now you've perked my interest... I want to know more about the benefits board... not sure I dare though!
    JackieG - Sorry for your loss, I hope he can RIP x
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Jackie G - so sorry for your loss xxx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
