    Sorry to hear your awful news today pigpen - I know you don't do hugs, but have one anyone from me for you and your DD.

    Well done to all of you who've been flying well today. I'm afraid I've not flown in my own house today, but have done lots of trips back and forth between my Mum's house, my Nana's house, and my Nana's new nursing home to deliver her belongings to her. (Nana moved into the home yesterday.) I've got to go back and see both of them tomorrow, and then Moon and I are off to Southampton to do some maternity clothes shopping, as I'm fed up with trying to squeeze myself into trousers that no long do up.

    Hugs for Dragon for your injury, and to anyone else who needs or wants one.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I shined my sink. Amazing how much easier this is when the sink looks lovely afterwards instead of rusty!

    Otherwise I have mostly played in the garden. Found mice in the shed, and trapped my hand in some metal which stung rather. Between pyracantha, nettles and my own clumsiness it was a painful but productive afternoon.

    DW x 3, WM x 1 otherwise not a huge amount done inside.

    You should be able to apply for a replacement from the council free of charge (if you lose that one though I think you have to pay :eek:)

    Do I win the prize for the sh!ttiest day??

    Some of you will recall my alcoholic uncle being found dead almost 2 years ago (9th April!) ??? And the children were in a childrens home in Germany.. well.. their mum has died too now...

    Words can't quite cover how furious I feel ... and those poor children lost both parents before they are even old enough to go to school!!

    at least they can grow up without the baggage their parents were.

    I am going to go be cross in a corner..

    OMG those poor children! What an awful thing.

    I must admit my current pet fear is what if something happens to me, my little babies will be orphans :(

    For the children it is very very terribly and upsetting.. for her, I have no sympathy, though I do have for her family... though they didn't like her very much either.

    Well a bit later start today thanks to the clocks. Me and the tots are going to home bargains this am. Need laundry detergent and theirs is £2 for 20 non bio liquitabs. It's fine too!

    We might treat ourselves to some baking bits and Easter craft bits too.

    Much as I hate shopping with a 3yo and an 18mth old! Needs must so we'll make it a little adventure...

    Reasonably tidy but might squeeze together a wm load later...

    Happy Sunday. Hate the fog.
