    Hello

    Yeah am ok, just don't have much to say really! work is ok but still takes up a lot of time. Money wise I noticed I have fallen into spending LOADS due to lack of time and thought about what I buy - from lunches to guinea pig cages!

    consequently the savings have taken a hit but I am in the process of returning a lot of stuff.

    I am sticking with the facials and a la Shoe Girl am having my nails done - it does make me feel good!

    Hi folks.

    Things are not good here, my friend's little girl had her heart operated on today and should have come off bypass this afternoon.

    She has not yet. They are going to try again soon, maybe tomorrow.

    Please pray, send vibes, positive thoughts to her and her Mum.

    They really need them.

    Hello all,
    thanks x
    She is more stable, I might go and see her today or tomorrow.

    this week has been one of the most difficult I can remember. Waiting for news is such a horrible thing.

    One good thing literally for a couple of hour but hey this week it was very needed- I had a school trip to see The Woman in Black at the Theatre, that was excellent. Good to scream. I think it probably helped with the tension.

    Will be back later

    Morning all,

    I didn't make it back here yesterday. I went to the hopsital. Very hard. Her Mum is so brave, in fact the whole family are amazing.

    So if you are reading this and you are religious or spirtual please pray for her. She is being taken off bypass today.

    keep hoping keep praying.
