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.July 16 £95/£200

Very sad news Dustyso 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.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

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!Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0
