    Morning flyladies. Thanks for the hugs.

    LittleyDog slept through the night as she had a pair of DD's dirty pyjamas with her - yay for that! DD also brought me lots of parcels to post for her so I need to get cracking on that first this morning, as they're not in parcel paper yet - flippin cheek.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning everyone.

    Off to Mr A when I get up. I like to go early it's less crowded.

    Pleased with myself as I fixed the kitchen tap last night.

    Lunch with DD later then back to Mr A with her. She is having terrible headaches at the moment and has to have blood tests.

    Flying wise it will be bathroom and bedroom. Then at my voluntary job later.

    Hugs, spoons, sticks and healing thoughts.

  • morning all hugs to everyone, especially those feeling stressed and those supporting or worrying about friends and loved ones.

    i woke really early and started wrapping as soon as Dh got out of bed, have wrapped DD1s stuff for her her partners and his kids and my dad and step mums christmas and wedding anni pressie. wM has already had its first run. need to nip down post office to off load final posting pressie then into Ts to pick a few bits up along with the card shop for a couple of 'specialist' cards i cant get anywhere else. didnt think dad and step mum or daughter and partner was such a big ask these days but this year im really struggling with those.
    just got to shift Ds2 who WILL be late for school today, then hang the washing out and get ready for shop run.

    Parcels are all ready to go to PO but its raining so the dogs will also have to wait for their walk. I've paid stuff till 9pm tonight but should have a break around 5-ish so will take the parcels then.

    Right, spare HH then, will take a look at the list.

    Downstairs now hoovered and shower is clean. Also sorted out a carrier bag of toiletries belonging to DD which she left behind.

    Catch all you lovelies later.

    can we now have some of those amazing 'cat come back' vibes.. OH was a total moron last night and didn't check the cat inter-dimensional portal and Peter escaped.. he has no idea where he is and hasn't been seen since.. instead of opening the door to coax him back einfreakinstien came to tell me he had escaped.. his idiocy defies belief... So anyway.. I'd quite love him to return.

    Oh Piggers I'm so sorry, sending lots of "cat come home vibes" so that Peter finds his way home. Hopefully he isn't too far and will pop out of his hidey hole when he is hungry.. If it's any help when we moved years and years ago I had a cat, bitg thing she was (fred) and as soon as we got in the house she managed to open the little window and was out. We hadn't even been in for 5 minutes..she did come home a few hours later wanting her dinner. Somehow or other she knew where she lived within those few hours.. So hopefully Peter is like this...

  • CAT COME HOME VIBES for Peter cat. You have my sympathies Pigpen, I barely slept whilst errant tabby was gone. How long has he been at yours for?


    Jazee- hugs to you.
    Ionafan- please take care of yourself, taking care of someone when they are so ill is exhausting, both physically and mentally.
    Elastic - I love your DH's saying - 'we don't have problems, we have opportunities'. I might make that my mantra for 2015.


    Well I failed at flying yesterday. I saw one of late OH's former colleagues on TV (we worked at the same place), which set me off. I loved my job and really miss it, but his actions gave me no choice but to leave. The littlest thing is setting me off at the moment (crying at strictly FGS!) I really need to get a grip.
