    Morning :wave:

    Good luck today JTS, hope it goes as well as it can

    Glad you're back at home now bubbs, hope you've wotsitted down the hatches, it's very windy and wet out there (well it is up in brizzle anyway)

    I had to put petrol in my car this morning, but hopefully just enough to be comfortably in the red zone tomorrow when I rock up at s

    Got a till spit for 360 points for wolfblass, and have exactly the same offer in nectar offers, but it is £8 - bit of a dilemma as I already have plenty of twine to keep me oiled, but I suppose it might be good with the swipe and win (minimum 920 points back in total so I suppose if I double up it's still more than free) - that's that decided then! :D
    Thanks :D
    How old was your dd this year 2? growing fast i bet:D

    On a sad note..One of my friends died suddenly at the weekend...He was only in his early 50s...Just makes me think .....Live it like you can...Live each day like its your last...

    I was having a fairly quiet week as OH is away skiing with my sister in Italy ( I dont ski ! ) and few baby sitting duties so had started clearing the 2nd bedroom for OH's return in a couple of months.
    Yesterday my DD came to help and then we got a phone call to say my sister fell and broke her knee on the slopes. She was stretchered off and is in an Italian hospital. They were returning tommorow anyway but as as she lives in Swtizerland and has good insurance her insurers are going to fly her back to Geneva by helicopter or plane to have it pinned. Luckily my brother and his wife were going next week so hopefully she will have the op and then come back with them to recuperate. She is divorced so is on her own and at least if she is her we can run her around and take care of her.
    Also think my Mum is losing it as she has rung twice in the night in the past week to say she has sepsis and needs an ambulance. She has a cut on her leg but its healing well. Then she told my sister she didnt have any t last night (she did )
    So a fraught couple of days.
    Gosh :eek: hope she recovers well x

    Council workers cutting the hedges - so I asked if they would cut a hedge hidden away, 20 yards away - that the horrid children ruined last year. By jumping into it.
    It is about 10' wide now & you can't get past it on path way with out catching your clothing on it.
    Lots of head scratching...... I showed them, it is just 'there' surely they can cut it back?
    :D:D:D Yes they have :D Thank you
    :T:T:T dont ask dont get;)

    Thanks

    I feel OK and just take it day by day. I have weight issues in that I'm not putting any weight on.. I dropped from 95kg to 70kg even though it's stable at that point and to be honest I feel better as I was a bit of a fat slob before.

    Also have dehydration issues but beer in the evening helps :rotfl:

    So any cheap or glitchy beer offers would be appreciated :T:T

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: at the beer :D. But if it helps you all well and good, in moderation of course :beer:

    She wouldn't have got away with me that's for sure lol

    No I don't suppose she would :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Not quite caught up yet but I need to get showered and dressed then do my packing as we're heading home today.
    Please could some kind soul tell me in simple terms how the shoes poo works. I ignored thinking it was something I'd miss while I was away but seems to be still going?
    I know I will also be needing to make lots of trips to S when I get home. Deliberately left my car running on fumes in readiness and DH should have space in his car too after we've driven back from Gatwick.
    Hopefully I'll finish my catch up when we get to the airport but if not, see you when we get home.

    Safe journey home HG xx
    Didnt answer about poo as already done;)
