    Thank you. A very exclusive club but not a clique. Don't forget rhos ' s ds3 is also in the owners club.
    Slight problem with my arms tonight after working on such a big canvas and unlikely to have time to do any more before my next lesson.

    FC has helped me so much over the last 18 months and for that I am so grateful.
    I can't really begin to understand what she is going through. I understand the medicinal side of things and our agreement is she prefers to hear the crap that happens in my everyday life and as my kids are older I like to think I provide wise words at times ;) Mr Ted loves dressing up for his photo emails too.

    That reminds me he wanted to do a Bear Grylls pose and is a bit upset there is no one in the BB house he could pose as but we might dress up and let you guess anyway.

    DM both twins left but one came back as a solo housemate. Emma I think.

    Busy week. Trees been cut back as much as possible and attic being done Friday. Lovely long chat with N on Skype. She sounds lovely and relaxed if a tiny bit burnt.

    I won't turn this into a mutual appreciation society. You don't do so bad yourself :D
    I do love Mr Ted though and the irresistible pictures of foreign loo brushes :rotfl:

    Glad N is having a good time.

    Massive hugs to frequent. I believe he has been poorly :(hug4.gif
    Get well soon xx

    Ellie I'm feeling so sorry at the amount of care that your having to provide for your mother yourself :( that can't be easy. I hadn't realised your mum was in hospital for so long.

    As for next week...obviously I would love your company and I'm more than happy to drive you in my new car :D I'd also like you to have some time out. On a practical note though, if you feel that you need to stay and look after Mum, that's absolutely fine. There will be more meet ups. I'm feeling for you in your situation because you work so hard for your dear mum but you need a little break too :A I haven't been in this situation but I know many on here have.

    BQ and I are meeting the next day on the 24th in Poulton for coffee and you're more than welcome to join us. Just don't feel under pressure to do anything. You have my number, I'm not much use at the moment but my mouth and ears still work well :o:D

    For Elliemoo

    I also have rubbish soil that pumpkins don't do well in. I put mine in grow bags. I cut the bottoms out so the roots can grow down but they mainly stay in the grow bag. Nice sunny, sheltered spot and keep them watered. I don't get massive pumpkins but I get a few big enough ones to keep the kids happy at Halloween. HTH

    Thanks very much, I would feel really bad if the plant didn't survive. DS has been in a gardening club in school and they are bringing home their plants because it is nearly school holidays here.

    Yes they are. I managed to buy 4 that didn't compare with T but thanks to COS I am not out of pocket.

    Thanks TrulyMadly
    I have put all my details in to M&S personal shopper, didn't know it existed.:T

    If you are near a large debenhams you can book a personal shopper at no charge. That way you do not have to hunt for what you think you are looking for as the lovely lady does it for you after a quick chat and leaves you to drink tea.
    Only way mum with clothes shop now. No pressure to purchase anything.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    I saw them mentioned in the previous thread put didn't take any notice as I thought we had plenty however just discovered we are on our last pack :eek:

    They are Ssda shades quilted and are scanning at £2.50 for 16 rolls. in the store I went in, they were still priced at £5. Good advice on here is to look up. I think they were part of a spring cleaning promotion.

    Squigs you are high on my list of things to do :D I'll be trying to visit you very soon.

    I will be going into isolation very soon to have my stem cell harvest. I'm scared :eek: I will have no contact with my family or anyone for at least 3 weeks and maybe more. No visitors, just Skype for contact. I've avoided that thinking my 6 months of treatment would last forever. I'm having my immune system wiped out and it's scary.

    Im looking forward to next week and another very special long overdue meet up I have planned for next month :D all will be revealed then :D

    Thank you to all who put up with me. You all deserve medals :o X

    Any bag of soil will do, I was just giving you an idea of what I do. My kids used to bring bean plants home.

    Besides being a fantastic Mum I hope you are ok Ellie and I hope your mum is doing ok X
