    hanley your invites are beautiful I hope they appreciated the time/effort they took
    mrsinvisible cant help with posh frock but congrats to your friend on the nomination :T:T

    get well wishes to anyone who could do with them as there seems still be loads of bugs doing the rounds

    not much to report on the holiday front but did pick up a couple of the b2g2f easter eggs

    the school is doing the dress up for book day next wk? and ds doesnt have any dressing up clothes do you think a tshirt/hoody with his fav characters on would count? dont really want to buy a costume hes not bothered about and wont wear again but dont want him to feel left out if everyone else is dressing up iyswim
    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk
  • mandco, how old is DS? If a young one an easy one to do is
    Harry and his bucket of dinosaurs. Dress in normal clothes and take a bucket of plastic dinosaurs with him. HTH

    Happy St David's Day to everyone!

    Hugs to those who are still poorly.

    I am going shopping today as I need a birthday card. I'll probably come back with more than a card though. ;)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Hello everyone!

    nan hope you and DH feel lots better soon! Xx
    omo loving the quotes.
    BEG my , that does sound busy , you'll be sleeping good tonight!
    Hanley those invites are brilliant , well done.
    peppa pig thank you , she is doing ok again :) we had a big talk and sorted some stuff she felt stressed about , she's also agreed to start walking everyday , her fitness is so bad (can't even do the block) and the car is sawn that and her agrophobia means she's got some serious cabin fever!

    Not much new for me , I have started listing goals I want to achieve everyday. Also walked the dog today too! Off to write a disgruntled email to little woods!

    hello and hugs to those I have missed , to those Mia come back!
