    Sad to hear your news but go anyway.
    Have as nice a time as you can Buffy.
    I am now at my mum's having a glass of champagne.

    Hey Buffy, thanks for your posts and sorry things haven't been great for you. You've got to focus on the temporary nature of your incapacity and maybe try to be a bot more selfish where your sisters are concerned. I don't see either of them offering to have your mum to live with them! As for the eldest, maybe god will provide but if that's the case, she's just being a selfish mare telling your mum about her troubles.

    Fingers crossed the baileys was well received by your tummy. Take care.

    It was............stressful. VERY STRESSFUL.

    The food was good. The Presents were amazing. The house is a disaster and it was mortifying. To the core of my being.

    BUT I am not flooded, there were funny moments. And I have a snowball. So !!!! it.

    It is done. And I get to stay in my pjs ALL day tomorrow. XXX

    PJ day didn't exactly happen.

    Have been watching the flooding. Someone's chair floated past in the water and it made me so upset and guilty for whinging about having a house to clean. At least I have a house. !!!!!!. Cumbria is not so far away. Poor bloody people. I mean Leeds is under water. LEEDS. It is a big city! people have settled there for hundreds of years! it shouldn't flood what the !!!! is going!??

    SO yes, although on whole I am fed up and not full of the joys of the seasons I am SO LUCKY. very sobering when whinging about first world problems.

    I never got to the Baileys....today! today!

    I am worried about you INOD. You've not posted on your diary. Hope everything is ok with you. And your family - sister?

    Sending you BIG hugs. and some (only some mind) of the Baileys
