    Just had the news that my Grandad's died - he has been ill for a while - I've told DS but DD is still at school.

    Am so sorry to hear your sad news juliejim. It's still a shock even when it's sort of expected isn't it? Thinking of you and your family. ((HUGS)).

    Juliejim I was going to just thank you for this week's thread; but I'm really sorry to read of your Grandad's passing.:(

    Pigpen Oh dear, oh dear..... thanks for the reminder of why I never had children, and why I don't "do" families.....:D

    *Waves* to Mumof2.:o

    Flying kinda off liste (as Piggers would put it):D today; Mr LW's wfh on Early shift today, and we have got stuff done, but I'll have to catch up with the list properly tomorrow onwards.

    Got to see the GP tis afternoon, which I am not looking forward to; feeling very jittery and anxious; thank the gods Mr LW is coming with me!:eek:

    Dusty I made those Anzac biscuits earlier - we've sampled them, and they definitely get the Mr LW Seal of Approval.
    Arf, arf. <---- seal barking.:D

  • Julie - sorry to hear that - hope the kids are OK!

    Piggers - well at least you were safer on the roads this weekend - my 83 yearold mother is off the road pending medical 'investigations'!

    JJ so sorry to hear of your Grandad's passing. Tomorrow is the anniversary of my dear friend's Mum's passing, Wednesday it is 7 years since Dad died and Thursday 6 years since a dear old lady friend of mine passed too. It is the week when all the good ones go. Hugs for you all, be kind to yourselves.

    Sorry to hear about your Grandad JulieJim. :(

    Thanks for the job sympathies....its all taking a bit getting used to be honest, still deciding what to do, have a few ideas but they take courage and determination which I need to build up on at the mo.

    My job is part of the cutbacks within the local authority I would class my job as part of essential services....however its gone, as has my team, I fear that this is just the beginning and that it will get considerably worse for the forseeable future. Not good.

    On a brighter note, monday is done...:T, will get on with tea in a mo and also need to sort out my floordrobe and my bedroom dressing table.

    I have tons to do and have quite a bit of paperwork to complete so after tea I'll get on with that.....arghhhh.


    Piggers, loved the Baptism Epic....:D.....very funny, and you know I could imagine you all in technicolour as the action unfolded...:rotfl:
