    Morning all

    Still feeling very upset for our friends and their son. He is stable but does have brain injuries so please any more spare vibes are really needed.

    So new day new attitude. Go out there and live ladies for you never know when the proverbial bus in around in the corner (or in this sad case a speeding taxi:mad:)
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
  • DWP rung, GP appt booked for DD1, dentist cancelled and rebooked!
