    Morning all,

    still rushed off my feet here cleaning house after the Christmas celebrations. I'm cleaning one room at a time hoping to get there by this evening.

    I just wanted to say, I'm thinking of you Jools. Such an awful time for you and your family. Much love. :grouphug:

    Thinking of you Jools and family x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Morning (afternoon!) everyone

    Finally up to date! The marking is done, final load of washing is in the machine. Planning on a bit of baking later ready for pack ups next week, and I'm going to try making my own tortillas tonight for tea - hoping they'll freeze well too, even making 6 is too many for tonight/tomorrow!

    Got a shopping list ready to get everything sorted for next week - getting the things on the list only, that's the challenge for today! Then the boyfriends over later, and off to see his brother tomorrow. Ah well, can't have everything...

    Happy friday everybody x

    Afternoon all, been taking the decorations down as well as taking DD to and from work and cardboard and plastic bottles to be recycled. Downstairs now looking good but bare. We are eating out tonight DD is buying us all a meal now she is earning a little bit of money. Hope your days went as smoothly as possible Jools and bethebee. JackieO hope the clinic went well and hope your DD Tessa finds a new and better job soon.
    Lou hope you can keep the BD at bay and hugs to any poorlies and fed ups. As you say JackieO roll on spring. esmf hope your friend and her children stay safe, had to do that once for a friend of mine, not a good thing to happen when children are involved. unclebryn hope your DS is ok when he goes back home.
    Have a good evening all. BTW Easter is soon going to be here!!!!!! there are creme eggs in our local spar:eek:

    Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

    Thank you all for your hugs today, went as well as it could have, MIL remained calm and service was apparently lovely, big turnout to say goodbye! We had some laughs, shed some tears, and remembered our gentle giant. Now am in my jammies contemplating a quiet refreshment in peace!
    RIP Iain
