    Lola that looks fabby!

    Well I rang the tax credits in the end, and didn't have too long a wait. The lady was very sympathetic and helpful, and I think we are all sorted. She said its most likely finalised now, but if there was an overpayment it would only be of a few pounds, and they'd be in touch shortly. Apparently I wasn't to include dh's DLA as part of his income. Who knew? Anyway, sorted now.

    So I'm all done except the sewing. But, I have been to parents evening for my little darlings, brought home their learning journeys, stuck some bits in, and written my comments on their evaluation sheets. So paperwork up to date!

    Count me in Dusty for this weeks list, I've popped in and looked at the lists daily just not got around to reading or posting! Think I'm upto date on every bodies new up to now this week.

    Hope your mum is ok Dusty, know you were up very early so hoping you are catching up on your sleep and not having a crisis.

    Pigpen will you pleassseeee slow down its exhausting reading your updates. Do I take it you are up near me again this weekend? Have you broached the sister in law subject with DH? Hope it's better this time around! If all else fails I'll come and rescue you if you shout loud enough:) Re your upcoming party - nobody is gonna be inspecting your house are they? ? ?
    Well I do hope not and I bet none of them will have as many children to look after and be a new Grandma x2. Parties are supposed to be fun it's your littlies special day :)
    Such sad news Valdi. I'm sorry to hear about another child loosing its parent, and so unexpected. Another very sad story in the news and very local to me is the poor young man who died after the stone roses concert. Such a waste, so young:(
    Glad your DD seems to have turned the corner Nicki:)
    I've not flown much just about keeping my head above water at the mo with the imminent emigration and everything that goes with it:) Had DGD1 the last four days soaking up cuddles cos Skype might be good(and I kno much better than anything previous generations of empty nest Nanas have had) but it can't give me a cuddle:)

    Sorry if I've missed out anybody hugs if you need it..
    Wendy witch have I missed your birthday, mine was Monday and brilliant. Hope yours is/was too:)

    Sorry cant remember whose post it was but the fab giant cupcake, pop over on the special occasions board there is a homemade cake thread on there another one of my addiction:-) It's really friendly and full of useful tips and advice, I'll look out for you:) x

    Heard on the news this morning that the Great Yorkshire show has been cancelled due to the weather...... What a summer we aren't having!

    Well my throat is sore and I'm a bit sniffly - thanks must be due to DS for this one!

    As the sky is an unfamiliar shade of blue I shall head out to hang out some washing..
