    Just a quickie, I've been bumbling about here doing odds and sods, need a rocket up my backside to go back over the lists tomorrow and finish what needs doing.
    Bossymoo I thought it was lovely putting your anniversary cards back up. It must have been an odd day, full of conflicting emotions and I'm glad everyone was there for you. You are amazing, your husband would be very proud of you xx

    Goodnight all

    Well BossyMoo the day is almost over and you've done it. I never doubted you for a minute. Why wouldn't you blubber at the arrival of your flowers? It was such a lovely lovely thought, today must've been hard for both sets of parents too. They are lucky to have you. And you've given us all a wake up call as Dusty said a good day for us all to count our blessing:) I got a little tearie when you said you'd put last years cards up such a wonderful idea:)

    Hugs mummyroysof3 when the news has sank in you'll get your head round it I'm sure but remember don't try and do it all yourself. Let people help that's what they are there for!

    Well done Mumto5 your emolpyers must have spotted your potential so well done them too:)

    My Thursday list is completed wooo hooo. I'm back!

    Lame wolf I've missed your posts and words of wisdom- don't go back into hiding. And where is seafarers_wife and Ben?

    If I've missed anybody I'm sorry getting a bit sleepy, busy day again tomorrow. Night x

    Almost missed FFP birthday, hope you've been spoilt rotten

    I suppose I'd better make a move and get ready for work. I want to strip the bed as well but I need to get out of it first. I've been awake for 2.5 hours but haven't got out of bed yet.
