    Oooops
    Not unexpected. I've had something like four dinners out, an afternoon tea, a three course lunch and a cocktail making class in the space of a fortnight. Ooh and Frankie and Bennys too.

    I'm back on the wagon this week :D

    I'll be voting tonight after work if I can figure out where my polling card is. I haven't come across that yet in the Great Fresian Towers Decluttering ;)

    Bossymoo,HUGE hugs. My hubby died after 3 years of marriage. I have remarried now but on anniversaries you really have to be kind to yourself it does get easier but it never really goes away. Take Care and indulge yourself today xxxxxxx

    Calamity today, I have very little immunity to infection and darn it all I've got a cold, cough and sore throat which will probably last weeks and end up with having to have a few units of red stuff. So I am confined to my daybed (sounds grand doesn't it?). DH is at college today so it will be level 1 for us today. Have a good day everyone

    Bossymoo - I echo what everyone else has said :) I can't possibly conceive how I would manage in your circumstances and have nothing but admiration for you :grouphug: I will be thinking of you and your family today x
    Bossymoo, LMH has said what I wanted to say, and she's far better at the putting-the-words-together-and-making-sense thing than I am.:o (((HUGS))), Wolfy posi-vibes and a vast amount of respect for you.

    Miasnanny (((HUGS))) it must have been a terrible thing for you, also. I had no idea.:(

    FFP Hoppy Birdday.:beer:

    I haven't been posting this week, as I felt like a big fraud. Flying is only what I can manage one-handed. I am in so much pain with my shoulder it's unreal.:( Seeing the physio-terrorist next Tuesday, but tbh I don't hold out a lot of hope of any swift relief.

    I'll have a root around for any spare spoons for both the Yorkie DDs.;)

    We have to vote later; Mr LW will take me up to the polling station in the wheelchair when we've eaten dins tonight - I've put our polling cards out on the side in the bedroom, where they'll annoy me, so that we won't forget.;)

    Coffee and cake on the table, along with a big heap of (((HUGS))) and posi-vibes; please come and help yourselves.:o

    Fwiw, it's exactly 10 years today since the wine-tasting at Colin's place (I can give his full name, as he's no longer with us - busy drinking all the cider in the Summerlands, I'd say:cool:) at which Mr LW and I actually realised that we liked each other.;) An appropriate day, methinks, for making sure the people you love know that you love them.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Oh Loan Wolf, don't feel a fraud, pain really drags one down and even simple things feel like climbing Everest. You are another one who needs to be kinder to herself.;)
