    I'm sorry if I upset you RedBalloon, I didn't mean to it was just what you posted brought memories of my dad flooding back. He had cancer and I was in so much despair at the time as he was No1 in my life :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Anyone in NI found these magazines. I suspect they're being PC because they have the union jack on them.75_75.gif

    Nope ni-mum not a single one spotted, like you I also think it's because of the union Jack. They changed the June mag to a PC front cover for NI so they could have done the same for the real food mag.

    I would complain! there is no good reason for Tesco not to supply the mags with a union Jack cover in Northern Ireland.

    No T's so far today:T:T:Tso am impressed with myself.
    Just had a phone call from DS's school that has made him and me happy. He has to sit two 3 hour entrance STEP exams for Cambridge (He knows he's already got the A' level grades he needs:T) and the school wanted him to sit it in a hall with all the lower years who are doing 1 & 2 hour exams which means twice during his exam he'll have kids scraping chairs and walking out etc. I know it sounds petty but the exam is really hard and he is really worried about it. His fave maths teacher has just phoned and said she's managed to arrange it for him to do in a room on his own with an examiner so thats put a smile on his face:)

    Really pleased as this can make such a difference.

    We have two days until exams are finished.

    Two more days until I won't be a Mum of school kids:T

    It's a strange thing - but when people are nice to me lately it just tips the balance and makes me cry again.
    I am very grateful...... x
