    Why not drop her a quick txt in the first instance? It'd show you're concerned for her, but if she's resting she doesn't have to respond straight away, or sit up and be sociable if she's too tired to manage it? Just a thought.:o I hope she's feeling heaps better, in any event.

    Don't think she has a mobile - never seen her with one, anyway, but thanks for the thought. Also thanks for how to create a Toots list - think I might need one!

    Rebecca.. I would ring see if she is ok and ask if she needs anything.. bread/milk for example.. and offer your company if she wants... make out she would be rescuing you from cleaning ;)

    Hi All :hello:

    I am a wee bit late, but am in this week, thanks Dusty for the lists, need to get my bahookie in gear (where is piggers’ mules when you need them :rotfl:.

    Hope you are all doing well, I have not had a chance to catch up (nothing new there) took the extras off straight away this week and beds will be done Friday when I am off, stairs are always brushed by DH due to furry animal hair and my allergies – not a good mix!
