    Thanks for the new thread Natty

    Welcome to the lists alkmatthews and Somam. Easy does it, don't beat yourself up if you don't keep up. Everything comes round again next week.

    I'm not working today as it's a RIP anniversary for my lady's husband. DS3 and DD2 are booked on tennis camp this week. My GF is collecting them at 9.30. I'm picking up at 4. DS2 needs to be taken to work at 12.15.

    Wow did we have a storm last night. I've been awake since 4.15 so I'll probably crash later.

    Ginge is still in hospital, he's out of IC and is doing well with the physio for for arm and leg. His mind remains confused and forgetful. We hope to have him home some time this week. Thank you to everyone who sent vibes and prayers for him. You are all fantastic x

    My lovely tidy house is already cluttered now they family is back from Cornwall. I must keep on top of things to get DS2 on his school trip on Saturday and us to Egypt on Sunday.

    Wishing everyone a good week.
