  • So touched by #putoutyourbats half the nation in shocked saddness the other engaged in a shopping frenzy.


    Agree with you Dusty - thanks for highlighting this - I don't do Twitter. Brings it home as he was just a little older than my DS - who can't put out his bats but only because they are - all of them - here.


    Can't imagine what his family and friends are going through - or the bowler either.

    Moomin has had 3 days at home sicking and just went back to school and I have a poorly pixie.. she has spent 2 days with an ear infection and now has Moomins sicky bug.. she is currently snoozing in the chair but we are on set of clothes number 3, both of us.. for someone with a phobia of barfing I'm not doing so well.. no doubt this is the beginning of not eating for a week.. just in case!!!


    my bedding in the wash already.
    dead rat binned
    bag of rubbish gathered and flung
    towels brought off the line, they've been out a week and no dryer than they were when they went out.
    baby cuddled.


    Very sad news Dusty :( so sad when a young life is suddenly taken.


    my aunt has been in hospital for 2 weeks with pneumonia she has just been moved from ICU to HDU .. a small step in the right direction but they didn't want to resuscitate her if the worst happened the outlook was very bleak. She's not young but her children need her, her oldest daughter has paranoid schitzophrenia and off her noodle most of the time now. Her other daughter has learning difficulties and her son is a very rude 4 letter word beginning with C.. he has been in prison most of the last 22 years.

  • morning all
    sorry dusty missed your HHC i was on the phone to DD2 given her a sewing machine tutorial (rather interesting over the phone especially as her machine is different to mine) LOL

    got to go work now, then i have ironing board and sewing machine set up to finish off a secret santa gift that needs posting early next week. i only have a little ironing to do so while ive got the board out ill do all of it. christmas farye at the school i work at this afty then out tonight so hoping to get time to do hair and nails as well as some flying.

    sorted out DS2s hour for charity bag pack tomorrow then have 2 christmas fayres to attend tomorrow.

    hugs to everyone

    hope pixie feels better soon Pigpen

    Hi all

    Bits and bobs getting done here - cooked some chicken that needed using but will probably eat it tomorrow.
    DD got her first badge at gymnastics - I asked the teacher if they do anything different next term and she said no, lol. I think DD is bored, she acts around a bit and occasionally does a lap of honour of the hall, just for the fun of it. They have done the exact same thing week in, week out. It's fine for the younger ones, who do well on repetition, but I think she's a bit old for it. We probably won't renew.

    I'm going to have a shower soon, going to the theatre later :T

    I've seen the YouTube tesco video - utter madness! I will be avoiding all shops today!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
