    The undertone of this is of course that the whole of the spare room and indeed other non-fly lady parts of the house have been upturned and now resemble a paper war zone.

    Looks like a tidy up in the spare room, should I be able to get in the door, might be more immiment than previously hoped.

    Spoke to womble HQ last night about crazy hours, they've told me to bill them.

    Off to the coal face, have a gud un.

    sorry I havent been around, looking in from afar as they say... We had some bad news a couple of weeks ago, although we knew dad had secondary cancer (lung and bowel) it was semi-manageable - found Nov last yr. we were told review in Feb - no change wouldn't go down chemo route till needed - would had 2 yrs with him.

    But inbetween they found cancer cells in stomach (Jan) but again was manageable - review with Feb's ct scan ... Come that scan the original cancer has shrunk (on its own accord) but the stomach cancer - grown out of control, weve been given weeks... x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Errrm...what EXACTLY do they want to charge you £50 replace? Although In know some stuff is different north of t'border I didn't think that deeds now being electronic and held at the Land Registry shouldn't be one of them?
