    Greys decluttered :T me likey new bowl and hairdressing paintbrush! Especially with 99p dye :o just perfect for a few silver streaks ;) at least now if I push my glasses onto my head, I not have to pull my hair forward over my ears to cover my temples and sideburns :D

    Had a play on the tablet again, some fun games, go karting where you tip the device from side to side to steer! DS will like that. But I've put all the goodies atop the loft ladder and see if I can resist.

    Anyways thats me finished - a blessed good night to you all...

  • Piggers I think we all said what goes around comes around, it just seems Karma caught up with her a little bit more quickly and permanently than anyone could have expected. Sad as it is for the friends and family involved for her passing, its now time for Mr Piggers to put his phone down and look forward to destressing and pampering you as you BOTH await this lovely bundle you have been brewing xxx
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    OMG! Is this the one he was seeing for a few months before you? Must be a shock. He will be upset. If she confided the alcohol problem to him he may well feel guilty that he couldn't have helped. What an awful way to get closure on a !!!!py situation :( I do feel for her family. What a waste of a life.

    I hope it doesn't come between the two of you XXX


    Well, DS is on a no treat day already. Which is a complete pain in the arris, as we have planned a picnic with friends and we have "graduation party" at nursery later :mad: he's going to strop every hour on the hour :o

    So, I'm on a mission this morning to whizz round everywhere and tidy up!

    Morning all

    Cool and cloudy here first thing but I think it's due to break up a bit later.

    Off out with a friend this morning then I'll settle to flying etc later.

    morning all
    hugs good wishes positive vibes and gentle supporting thoughts where needed
