    Not feeling terribly fab today - 10 weeks after losing his mum, my DH's dad died last night. Will someone please cancel Christmas for us?

    Oh Floss, so sorry to hear this, thinking of you and your family at this sad time, big hugs.
  • I'm really sorry to hear that Floss, how awful. We are all thinking of you.

    I'd like to add my sincere condolences floss. Look after yourself. We're all thinking of you, sort of puts the crazy consumerism into perspective. :)

    I am so sorry and sending a gentle hug. Would your circumstances let you go away together for a few days to have a quiet time alone away from the razzamataz?

    They would if it weren't Christmas with consequent price hikes & low availability. However I have committed to being in work until 24th and then again 29/30th, so all those with children can be off, so we will be staying put. It's likely that the funeral will be after New Year, and we were planning a quiet Christmas anyway.

    So sorry Floss.


    Re bras. I am only B cup, and have always been happy to be so. Even when breastfeeding I was only a C. It has honestly never bothered me (or OH ;)) out of all the surgeries you can get, breast enhancement isn't one I'd choose. My sister has had it done though - and is now unnaturally large.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
