    Oh I am so sorry to read your news GERS. Just quickly catching up on any news but I couldn't just read and run. That is absolutely no age to die. And such a long way to travel for the funeral. My heartfelt sympathies to you all. xxxx

    I am so sorry about your nephew. For this to happen at his age is so unfair and hard to take in.

    I still do not have internet so am using my middle dd's internet while staying overnight with her.

    Two bedrooms have been knocked into one and replastered and a set of sliding wardrobes built so I have at least been able to put clothes away. The house is still festooned with boxes but I am starting to feel more settled. The area is nice and quiet and everyone seems very nice.

    Hugs to all.

    Gers, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, it must be a terrible shock.
    I'm thinking of you.

    Its been a dull grey day here and quite cold, I hung the washing outside but it didn't dry so is now hung on the airers.

    DH finished work early today for a change, so came shopping with me this afternoon which was nice.

    Waiting for DS and his GF to return home from their trip to Bristol and DD will be finishing work shortly, so will go and pick her up.

    Cleaned the house earlier and used my steam cleaner to give the bathrooms a good clean, I am very impressed with it and love using it:rotfl:

    Have a good evening everyone x.
