    MKS I am so sorry for your loss but so pleased you had a chance to spend some quality time with you brother last couple of months. I hope you have some cherished memories to ease the pain. :A

    My ex fell out with his brother, after a few months I persuaded him to contact him. He phoned him beginning of the week and we arranged to visit that weekend but we never got the chance to see him alive again. We got a phone call couple days later, early hours of the morning, he had died suddenly of a heart attack he was only 30. :(

    It made me realise then life is too short to hold grudges, you never know what can happen unexpectedly and if you really care about someone don't let them disappear from your life forever. :A

    Thanks, TS. How right you are.

    Spud...has Orchard invited you onto the Finest potato trial?:)

    Morning paw sniffers,

    Another damp grey dreary dirty morning.

    Longing for a crisp dry bright winters day:o

    No invite for me TM, doing the healthy living ready meal though.

    Ok I started the day running with so much to do, that I didn't get chance to wish Logie well starting back at work. :A

    Unfortunately have ended the day with hardly being able to walk as I did a Scamps. :eek: After my makeover at DD3s college this morning I fell down the steps going over on my ankle. :o Not sure whether just a sprain or whether I have done anything worse, going to wait until the morning, it's pretty swollen and very painful to weight bear, and can see the bruising but think the bruising would be worse if I have fractured it.

    Have had to be chauffeured to multiple bungalow viewings and the dentist today, Mr TS not happy. Don't think I can persuade him to take me to Ts, I am well jealous of everyone's 5p/10p bargains today. :T

    Anyway good news, I have another offer on the bungalow and £4,000 more than original offer. :j And this buyer does not have a mortgage to arrange as all the equity in her property which has been under offer already for 2 weeks from a cash buyer. :j:j:j

    So looks like I will be having multiple cheese, gammon and wine parties to empty the fridge around there. And going to need lots of help emptying the freezer. :rotfl:

    Oh TS. Take care of yourself and I hope that your ankle gets better soon.

    Well done on the bungalow.:T

    Had to go shopping yesterday and got lots of the 10p stuff, cards, tissue paper, Santa plates, napkins, big pink sparkly bow for top of Christmas tree (DD1 loves pink sparkly stuff). Advent calenders a bargain at 12p and bb date is 31/07/15.

    Really enjoyed my first day back :D I'm classroom based this week to update before I head back clinically. It was actually lovely to have a coffee break where I could just sit down without interruption by small people ;)



    So sorry to hear your sad news :( Thank goodness you had a chance to reconcile and create some memories. A lesson for us all not to put things off.


    Me too :) 1350 :beer:

    Thanks, logie.

    So pleased that your first day back went well.:T
